" Auto Europe for their part have a defective complaints procedure. They sent links to webpages that did not exist and then told me to complain after the car hire contract ended. There is no customer service at Auto Europe, it is a joke. "
" Flex to go have very high cost hidden terms and conditions. This charge was not disclosed anywhere on Auto Europe's booking interface, nor when clicking for additional information. It was only after purchase, buried in the small print of Flex To Go's terms, that this exorbitant charge became apparent. To be clear: this is a hidden fee, and it constitutes a breach of transparency and consumer rights under EU law. Furthermore, Flex To Go's fee is completely out of line with standard industry practice. Most car rental companies charge between €7–€10 per day for cross-border use, usually capped at €30–€40. The excessive fee imposed here is a blatant example of sharp practice, and a pattern of similar complaints from other customers (see Trustpilot and other review sites) confirms that this is not an isolated incident. Nowhere in the booking process, confirmation documents, nor on Auto Europe's website's pre-booking interface, was it stated that there would be an additional fee of €150 to take the car across the border into Belgium. This is a 71% surcharge on top of the original rental cost--a staggering and wholly unexpected sum--which I only discovered after scouring the fine print buried deep within the supplier's terms and conditions. This kind of information is not a minor detail--it is material to a customer's decision to book. Had I known about this exorbitant cross-border fee before finalising the booking, I would have chosen a different provider. There are many other rental companies that do not impose such unreasonable charges, and I still have two days until the rental begins. In other words, I was effectively tricked into making a booking under false pretences. This constitutes a clear failure of transparency and arguably mis-selling under consumer protection standards. At best, it's a glaring omission; at worst, a deliberate act of concealment. I am now left in the position of either paying this outrageous hidden fee or scrambling to make alternative arrangements at the last minute--neither of which is acceptable. I did not go ahead with the car hire and I demanded a full refund, which I have not received. "

" You sent me a Confirmed Reservation (which is your term). Confirmation means "proof that something is true". Reservation means to "hold something for ones use" In this case despite your Confirmed Reservation statement, no actual vehicle was reserved for me. There was no car available and it was only because I complained that efforts were made to find a vehicle. 2. Compact As you agreed, I had reserved a compact car. The definition of compact is small and conveniently shaped. The alternative I was given was neither small nor conveniently shaped, being too big to handle on small country roads and too high making it extremely difficult to find a suitable parking places. 3. Car v Van A car is a 4-wheel vehicle able to carry a small number of people. A van is a larger vehicle for transporting people or goods. So you are incorrect in your statement I was not offered an upgraded car. In summary if I had wanted an oversized van, I would have booked one. I wanted a compact car and that's what I reserved with you. However you did not reserve this or anything for me. Instead it was left for an assistant at the counter to give me anything she had. You have failed to deliver on our contract and I would hope you would make me some offer of recompense for your failure to honour my reservation. "
" At the Dollar Rental Desk in Munich Airport, I was told to wait a number of hours when a car might become available. When I pushed they eventually came back with a vehicle. However I did not receive a car upgrade - I was given a 9-seater? van that was too big and too high for the car park and very difficult to drive on country roads. As a long standing customer I would expect better service and response. "

" No probelm until you set up the SCAM. You alledge that the compressor that is under the floor in the boot was removed while I had the car. I was traveling very light with a small hand luggage back pack that I kept in the car. I never opened the boot. The car was locked while I was away from the car in Laboe (my laptop was in the bag on the seat). The car locked in a Hotel underground carpark in Kiel. The car was not opened or robbed. It is absurd that you accuse me of stealing a compressor. "
" Everything was fine until you started the SCAM. I returned the car to Hamburg Airport, handed over the key while your staff inspected the car, and was told all ok (a grunt and a nod), but then sent me a bill for €310.90 for a missing compressor. I never even opened the boot in the 24 hours I had the car. This is A SCAM AND I MOST STRENUOUSLY OBJECT. I have rented cars from you on may dozens of occasions over the years this is a first.

We were told that we really should top up the insurance as even a small scratch would leave us with a €1000 payment. Inurance options should be transparent at the time of booking. This happened to everyone waiting in line and most of them took extra insurance at a high daily charge. Does the staff at collection get commission? It was very unpleasant. Drop off was not explained properly. We gave car back at a different location and were told that there will be a drop off signed for as the office would be closed at the drop off time. There was a sign at the door, however we had to get out of the car at a busy road and double park to read the instructions for drop off. This could be emailed in advance.

" The Auto Europe request form clearly stated that we would be driving in Austria and Italy (as I had specified). We then received the 'Confirmed Reservation' and a travel voucher. Looking back at this document I see that it states 'Travel to Austria' under the heading of comments. However, I presumed that the original information that I had provided was still part of the booking. When I was asked at the Europcar counter which countries we would be travelling to I said Austria and Italy. I was then told that I could not take a premium car (as booked) to Italy. As a result we ended up with a car that we would not have chosen and it was an unpleasant and stressful experience. Something happened between our booking and the confirmation by Europcar or AutoEurope that resulted in the information about Italy being removed/ignored. I don't know were the blame for that lies. The result was an unpleasant experience at pick up and ending up with the wrong car group. This is something that needs to be sorted out between Auto Europe and Europcar. "

" We have no Problem with Auto Europe. We have always found the service very Satisfactory. It was always our first choice for Car Rental. I was disappointed not to have A Reply to my email from Auto Europe which was sent on 04/07/2023. I was wondering if you had contacted Hertz regarding the matter. Please let me know if you need more information. Hoping to hear back from you promptly. Regards ,Liam Brett "
" On Friday last 30/06/2023 We travelled fro Lermoos to Munich Airport.As journey took longer due to heavy traffic,we went straight to Car rental return,I needed to use the toilet badly,as I'm on medication for prostate cancer.Petrol tank was 1/4 full.I offered to take the car to Petrol Station,but inspector said this was not allowed.We were charged €421.65 for Petrol and Service,.This is totally unacceptable and extortionate.To fill the tank would cost €70 approximately.I have no problem with paying a reasonable penalty,but €421.65, is totally and utterly unacceptable. I hope this issue can be resolved in A Reasonable Manner. I emailed you with this complaint on Tuesday 04/07/2023. I also sent a copy of the Bill from Hertz. As of now I haven't had a Reply from Auto Europe. Regards, Liam Brett "

" Very unhappy with the problems the vehicle game me and the excessive fees for incurred for driving into Austria from Germany! I only did less than 600kms over the 6 days but they still charged. Worse still, I had to keep stopping on the journey there and back because the car kept instructing me to stop and check the oil. I had to wait around for this to go off. I asked a garage on the way to my destination and they said they didn't see anything wrong. When I returned the vehicle they said it was a faulty sensor. I think it was already in the system.

Disappointed and annoyed to find the same issues. Both bookings through Autoeurope. Appears discrepancy arises largely because VAT is not factored in to fees quoted by Autoeurope?

" I have rented cars from AutoEurope for years. I have rented cars from Munich airport for fifteen years and never had trouble before. I have never rented from Hertz/Thrifty and I never will again. "
" I was dismayed to receive an invoice for an additional cost of €242.51 from Hertz/Thrifty. I queried this amount and I am told it is for cross border fee and petrol. The cross border fee is €45. This means Hertz/Thrifty are charging €197.51 for less than a quarter tank of petrol used. I filled up the petrol tank the night before I returned the car. I intended to top up the petrol near the airport but I could not find a petrol station close. I have a photograph showing the petrol tank was more than three quarters full when I returned the car to Hertz/Thrifty. It is outrageous to invoice me this amount. Also they are very difficult to contact. I had to search for an email address that I could reach them at. "

When I rang Auto Europe I was told that Enterprise was notified but depot will close at 9.30. I rushed to Enterprise desk and got there just before 9.30. However, Enterprise decided early on in the day to remain open to 11:30. So it is clear that Auto did not contact Enterprise or they would have realised that the desk will be open to 11:30.

" Depends on outcome of disputed 2nd driver charge. Either Autoeurope misquoted this fee in their booking process or Globalrent/Europcar is giving Autoeurope incorrect information on local charges. I will provide more detail in complaint I will be lodging. "
" Car was excellent but charged €99.79 for 2nd driver. Max 2nd driver fee quoted by Autoeurope €50, including VAT, excluding Airport surcharge of 24.9% (= €12.45). Maximum charge for 2nd driver should therefore be €62.45 not €99.79. Counter staff just say "that quote is Autoeurope, not ours." This is nonsense. Customers can reasonably expect that quotations provided through Autoeurope, presumably based on information supplied by Globalrent/Europcar are accurate. "

" The counter staff where very efficient. The car would not start on Thursday 3rd March. I contacted Europcar and they said they would send someone to look at it. Despite hanging around my hotel no one showed up. Later that day the car started. On Friday March 4th at 8.30am the car started and I travelled up to the ski slope car park. At 11am I returned to the car to travel to a different slope but the car would not start. I contacted Europcar and explained the situation. I was asked to stay with the car to wait on assistance. A mechanic arrived at 14.30. He was unable to start the car. He went away and returned with additional cables to try and start the car but was unsuccessful. He spoke to Europcar and explained the situation and informed Europcar that we were leaving the hotel at 6am on Sat 5th March to return to the Munich Airport. I was advised that I would either get a replacement car or a taxi would bring us to the airport. I eventually got a call to say that a taxi would pick us up at 6am on Sat 5th March. I received a call yesterday asking me what the problem was with the car to which I answered it would not start. I have not heard from Europcar with regard to any compensation for the inconvenience caused by this problem. I missed out on 2 days skiing out of a possible 6 because of the problem with the car. I would at least expect to receive a call from Europcar that can speak reasonable English to discuss this situation. "

At the desk I agreed to pay an insurance excess of €23 to cover a potential excess of €1,150 for the 5 days.

When collecting the vehicle from Hertz I had to provide my contact information again, despite having provided these details when booking. The Hertz representative advised that Auto Europe had not provided these to Hertz. I think it would be good if these details could be provided to rental company in advance of collecting the rental vehicle. "
" I was annoyed at the additional charges that were notified when collecting the vehicle. My booking with Auto Europe provided all information regarding my travel plans with the rental vehicle, yet on collecting the vehicle a couple of additional charges (cross-border fee, damage waiver, and theft protection) were notified. These seemed to be standard, fixed fees so I don't understand why these could not be included in the price when I booked. "

" Happy with Auto Europe and have used them many times in the past. I would really appreciate your support should it be required in resolving the issue in relation to the damage that Enterprise/Alamo claim we caused, but I can categorically deny. "
" On collecting the car we were shown a Tablet that displayed red lines all along the right/passenger side and were informed jokingly that we could damage the right hand side and would not be liable. On seeing the car in the garage we noticed a little area on the sliding door that looked as if it had been polished but no other damage. I only received the rental agreement via E-Mail after we left the garage and this stated that there was only a little damage in the right hand side, not the full red lines as the agent suggested and showed us at the desk. Also the Fuel needle was showing as very low and hence we had to fill up fuel en route only to discover the gauge was faulty and once we put in a few litres and the pump indicated the tank was full the needle moved to full. On dropping off the car the third party service provider who checks the car immediately noticed a dent in the passenger side sliding door. There was no paint damage or scratches, just a dent. The agent claimed it was new however we did not cause it. I went back to the Enterprise/Alamo desk to explain the issue and was advised that the manager would take a look and contact me later. The dent in question was hard to see at full light when returning the car so I am not sure how we would have seen it in the poorly lit collection area. perhaps a ploy to get people to pay for damage. The following day I received an E-Mail from the manager (Mr. Slusarenko) who advised the dent was new. I corresponded with the manager advising him that it was not caused by us because the vehicle was parked up for the week and that the car that was parked beside ours in the Car Park at our apartment was also parked up for the week and was at least two metres away so damage would not have been caused by that car. The manager sent me pictures of previous damage caused to the same spot back in 2021 which would suggest the damage was never repaired correctly and the dent not removed just resprayed. The initial interaction at the counter was positive and the Agent (Leo) threw in the Cross Border and additional Driver for free, which I thought was a lovely gesture. Now I know how they recoup their costs, by trying to get us to pay for damage we did not cause. I believe this to be underhanded and sneaky and not a way to conduct business. If I do get charged for the damage I will never use Enterprise/Alamo again. Should we not get charged for the damage we did not cause my experience will be tainted by the claim we caused the damage my attitude to Enterprise somewhat more positive, as stated it was positive until we returned the car.

" I sent this to hertz Munich Airport yesterday - We were given snow chains by your staff for the Citreon C5 Aircrosse SUV that were too small, these could not be fitted when we needed to use the car after heavy snow. Being parked on the top of a steep hill meant we could not use the car for 3 days as it was too dangerous to risk the standard tyres alone on the slippery ungritted road. It took 3 days to get suitable chains that did fit the tyres. We should have been given correct chains. We had to buy chains locally at €216 to get mobile again and drive back to Hertz Munich Airport. Mandy Kása Supervisor dealth with the problem and was very pleasant as were all your staff. We hope to be refunded this €216 and a refund for the 3 days we couldn't use the car. This was all a considerable inconvenience as we were self catering and commuting to the ski slopes in Ellmau Austria and had to make other arrangements. No one is angry about anything , we just could have done without the experience. We hope you will resolve the refunds as fast as possible, thank you, Kevin "

" International travel is stressful enough in these covid times without having to contend with sharks at a car hire desk. "
" Original internet booking was fine, but due to time pressure did not purchase 'excess' insurance, (69 euros) online with the intention of perhaps purchasing at the desk. The person at the desk confused the issue enough to SCREW me out of 266.76 euros for the same insurance. When I apply to my company Siemens for expenses for car hire I expect they will be reluctant to pay this extra extortionate amount because of a fear of putting a scratch on the car. If asked I will actively discourage colleagues from using your company. "

" Car I booked was not available when I arrived and given away to another customer. Got a small car and realised when I was on my journey that the petrol was only half full. I left it back full on return and requested the amount be deducted from my bill. I was told that they "would look into it". On arrival I also had to wait 40mjns for my replacement car to be cleaned. Overall very unsatisfied. I had booked another reservation with Autoeurope for Saturday- I cancelled this and went directly to the rental company. "

" Hello, As you can see in the reservation, I asked for a minimum Skoda Superb car and the Alamo representative proposed me a Nissan Qashqai with which of course I did not agree. After an hour and a half of waiting in front of the office, he brought me a Volkswagen Tiguan, which is brand new but dirty on the outside. In the parking lot he had many clean and category cars with Skoda Superb or superior. I returned the car to Karlsruhe two days earlier, and the representative there, who was very ok, told me that I would be reimbursed a bit for early return. I need an invoice, please.

The counter staff individual took 15 minutes to find my booking and when he eventually found it because i was 2hrs late on a 5day hire my booking was cancelled. I then had to book a new vehicle, which was not in the same category so we had to upgrade at a 'discounted price'. As a credit card is the only card accepted for car rental i then had to pay a further 250euro deposit which has still been refunded to my account. an overall very disapointing experience. Will not be renting again from this company. "

" The booking process was very good. The car had several scratches and a large dent in the back read door panel. This was checked on our return and we were told that this was the same dent as when we received the car so it did not cost us any money. However, I would have preferred that there was no dent in the first place. We had booked a VW Polo or equivalent which we presumed would have a 60/40 rear seat split. However, we received an Opel Corsa (good car) which did not have split rear seat. We were using the car for skiing and therefore had to put the skis over the top of the back seat which was not as practical as if there was a split rear seat. "

" Firstly, I rented the car from you with the extra insurance. Yet the salesman at the Global desk continually pushed their full cover insurance and tried to undermine my belief that my excess was fully covered. Secondly, as noted above I had hidden charges imposed on me. When I queried this, they claimed the car needed specialist cleaning. The only dirt in the car was footprints from dusty ground in ski resort car parks and some crumbs from snacks. I pointed out that all cars have to be vacuumed and washed before being passed onto the next customer but that has not been accepted. In future, I think I'll stick to the big companies where as least I can be sure that the price quoted is the price I'll be charged. "

I arranged already via phone earlier (3-4 weeks in advance) to get a specific car. From the list For this category I asked for the Mazda 6 Estate or Hyundai i40. We got a Skoda Octavia. There were no other Cars available and she said that she hasn't seen Mazda for long time. Well why I get this offered on the phone? When we went down to the Garage there we saw 2x Hyundai i40 left - to the comment there are no other cars left! 2. Inside of the car we smelt cigarette.

If you really want to make sure that your customers are satisfied and loyal ... you should avoid business partners like global. They will destroy your reputation and business. If I could I would like to log an official complaint. Again the vehicle wasn't worth price I had paid. Class below from what i had initially booked. Would like to request refund for the difference between classes. Without disrespect tou autoeurope but I think it's time to finish our cooperation. Ryanair website and many others offer similar deals or sometimes even better. We really had long and successful relationship but I feel that now it is a time to move . I was very loyal to autoeurope but I had lost confidence because the partners you are working with. Kind regards David "
" Lady working on customer service counter extremely friendly and helpful 10/10 however.... we booked vehicle from compact class, similar to golf or focus. Vehicle offered to us was smaller and below class booked. How can you compare dacia sandero to golf or focus? We had 4 passengers and 2 suitcases and 4 paces of hand luggage. After negotiations desk agent offered us Opel crossland x again smaller than compact class but at least with slighty bigger luggage area. I presume astra will by within class initially booked by us. Another issue .... engine ....3 cylinder 1.0 or 1.2 engine totally without power especially with so much weight on board. You can find 3 cylinder engines in cars like yaris, aygo or corsa. Total disaster. Car haven't got internal carpets and screen wash. No navigation in standard as most vehicles currently. I feel that I am being ripped off or scammed.

" 1. Firstly it took almost 2 hours to collect the car once our flight had landed. We had to sit and wait with many others whilst over a hundred customers were dealt with. This took 2 hours off our holiday. Europcar simply did not have enough staff attending on clients. 2. Luckily we were advised by a friend to take photos of the car before the rental which we did. I noticed a small mark in the rear bumper prior to the rental and photographed this extensively. As we were now over two hours later than expected i did not report the mark to Europcar as it would have taken even longer however i do have the photos which are dated and time stamped. Upon drop off the Europcar agent noted the damage and stated 'it is not on our system' and essentially put the blame on me. I have emailed Europcar with the prior to rental photos and copied your company in that email also. Quite clearly Europcar are either not checking their vehicles prior to rental or are aware of such damage but do not record it sufficiently. This is disgraceful conduct. I will not be renting a car from Europcar again as a result. "

Never before have I been asked to pay such a fee. If the rental car breaks down through no fault of mine, it is the rental car company's responsibility to recover the car and give me a replacement, Can you please contact Alamo and have them recredit my Visa card €48.00. No wonder rental car companies have such a bad reputation when nonsense like this goes on. I did not challenge it at pick up as the desk was very busy and I needed to get on my journey.

If you can't have working phone lines in the morning, you should at least have a working relationship with the people who work at the desks of your suppliers. In such situations a partial refund would be appropriate. You would have incurred some costs in arranging the car but no costs in wear and tear on the car and also it would have been available to rent to another customer. a 50-75% refund would be appropriate. Being contactable would be appropriate also. "

" Auto Europe didn`t notice anywhere that the ID card should contain adress. I could avoid so many problems with renting. "

" great service "
" very friendly and helpful "
" Very satisfied.Very competitive rates and the website was user friendly. "
" The lady dealing with us in Munich was very helpful indeed. "
" Brilliant super friendly service from start to finish. Thank you was a pleasure and I?m going to book with you again right now ;) "
" Great, lovely people everywhere. Loved the GPS on the car that worked with my phone. Only problem was it wasn?t obvious if the car was diesel or petroleum when I went to refuel - but that was probably my fault more than yours! "
" Global Car Rental had a counter only in Terminal 2 at Frankfurt. You should have advised me in advance so I did not need to waste time looking for their counter in Terminal 1. "

" +++ I have positive experience renting via AutoEurope. - The website design has a flaw, to me it was not clear that banner info (with details about additional driver free and included winter tyres) is placed below the selected car. I assumed that banner is on top of selected car. This caused me to miss an offer with additional diver included. "
" +++ Waiting time was very good. Checkout in Munich airport is very well organized, procedure was fast.The - Europcar desk clerk wanted to offer me an upgraded car, with only 25 eur more. He did not mention this is per day :-) Luckily, when we reviewed the price, I asked why I have to pay 200 eur more instead of 25 eur. I suggest that desk clerk should specify more clearly this detail to the customers, that price is per day or per whole rental period. To avoid confusion and unpleasant situations. "
" Booking process was easy and price/flexiblity were good. "
" Globalrent seemed to have none of the info I gave when booking about my address, email etc. This meant that picking up the car (for me and everyone else it seemed) took a long time ( 10 mins per renter) as I had to provide this info and fill in numerous forms, so had a long queue. There was absolutely no signage directing you to where the car physically was to be picked up, which led to a frustrating walk around a multi-story carpark, When we got back, there was nobody from Globalrent to inspect the car and we ended up getting a guy from another rental company to sign off it was all ok. The car itself was fine "
" Your charges to refuel are enormous.i was told I would be charged 100 plus 30 euro for ye to refill.total charge from ye 130 euro. I drove across the road and filled the car for 47 euro. Some difference of 83 euro. "
" Had to wait in line for an hour when I reached the top my Car wasn't available . Had to go up a class and pay ?100 extra "
" very promptly operator "
" I am awaiting a response to a complaint issued on 26th Dec & 2nd Jan and once I see how Auto Europe are dealing with this complaint then I can rerate them. It was impossible to contact AutoEurope by phone from Germany on 23rd when problems arose with Global. See emails as issued. "
" I have issues a complaint to Auto Europe by email 26th Dec and 2nd Jan about problems with Global. They did not have the vehicle type booked and paid for (7 seater) and offered only small car option. After 2 & 1/2 hours delay and having to return the following morning they eventually provided 2 smaller vehicles and not the larger 7 seater booked. This caused serious disruption, delay and stress at the start of our holidayincluding having to stay overnight in Munich airport hotel. "
" Always use Auto Europe and always top class in efficiency, service and back up. "
" Enterprise lady at Munich charged ?47 for travel to Austria although I had so stated on original application (see your original voucher copy of 21/07/2017) and explained i would not be using Austrian Motorways just local road from Lofer to Saalbach. Can you sort it out? Otherwise enterprise was very good. "
" After the return of the car unreasonably removed from the credit card almost 30 euros on the pretext that the gas tank is not full. "
" I was charged three times for the same booking Unhelpful over the phone advice particularly christen in reservation service , tried to blam me for the mistake. This no far from fraudulent, deception by the agency and I intend to follow with the European consumer if not solved "
" They warned me that I was charged three times for the booking by three different reservation no. But they didn?t take any initiative to fix the problem with agency knowing this wrong and asked me to call them "
" The customer service girl at Alamo was excellent,she explained everything very clearly and was most helpful "
" When I went to pick up the car the man said he would not accept my debit card as a deposit for the car, he would only accept a credit card and would not accept a credit card which was not in my name. It was not explained where I should drop the car back! So I returned it to the car park space in which I collected it. Which ended up costing me an extra 6euro. He never told he the car had to be returned to P4 parkhaus. When returned the petrol needle was very slightly to the right of the full line and the man said it was not a full tank, so I had to drive off and find a petrol station and put 3euro in it! Very bad experience. "

" Easy booking system, good choice of companies and good prices. We use Auto Europe a lot and I can never fault them. Always great customer service too for any queries after booking "
" Couldn't be happier, friendly efficient girl at the desk. She had our details on file from a previous time and that made picking up the car quick and easy. The car was superb - fairly new and in great condition. Dropping back the car was also hassle free - a short walk from the airport terminal. We will certainly use Globalrent in Hahn again. "
" I was aware that there is an extra fee for one-way rentals. But I didn't like the fact that there is a tax and a tax of a tax. Ended up paying ?12 extra that was nowhere mentioned. Car not ready on arrival. Snotty customer service, pushy towards purchasing extra insurance "
" Very good service! And they had been flexible even our flight was very delayed "
" Unfortunately, I was late for the car pick up, so when I got to the counter, my reservation was already cancelled. I was told they would arrange a different car slightly more expensive. Then they charged my credit card again for that amount and told me I'd be refunded for the first amount. Now I got an email saying that they won't refund it, which shows how despicable Auto Europe is and I'll never use them again. "
" Unfortunately, I was late for my car pick up, so they cancelled my reservation, but told me that I could get a different car slightly more expensive. They charged my credit card again and told me that the original charge was going to be refunded. But I'm yet to receive any refund and now I received an email Auto Europe stating they won't refund me. "
" Dear Sirs, My experience with the car rental company was appalling. There was a long Q at the desk. Having got the attention of a member of staff after almost 2 Hours. We were told that there were no cars available and that we would have to wait for 3 hours for an available car. He could give us a larger car but would have to charge us more. I objected to this and asked him if this was a scam. He just waved his arms and called the next customer. After a while what seemed to be a middle manager came on the scene and kind of saved the day by offering us a Ford Torneo Connect 7 seater tourer and charged us another 295Euro. We had no choice but to comply. A big difference to a V W.I am very annoyed over the whole thing. I will be in touch. "
" The worst service I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. WITH ANY CAR RENTAL COMPANY. THE DESK STAFF WERE NOT MUCH HELP. THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY OVERBOOKED AND DID NOT KNOW HOW YO COUPE WITH THE SITUATION I AM PRESENTLY GETTING MY LEGAL TROOPS LINED UP TO MAKE A MORE FORMAL COMPLAINT TO THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES BOTH HERE IN IRELAND AND GERMANY. "
" Agent should ask explain about toll roads where applicable "
" Car was dirty and very damaged "
" Thank you very much for your outstanding service I suggest if you can provide more pesfcation about the car spatially if the GPS is beld in the car or it is portable as will as to show all document's to be provided wail taking the car "
" Give the car I irdered "
" Car at Cologne is parked in dark basement of multi storey car park to make it harder to assess any damage already on the car. We drove to the return bay for better light and noted a damage that hadn't been recorded in the system yet. At least Buchbinder employee noted it on our rental agreement. Car was returned to different drop off station for which we paid extra. Then an excess of ?856 was taken off our credit card without any written notification as to why. Car was returned in same condition as at pick up (outside office hours). When lodging a complaint by phone we were asked to put it in writing. This was 5 days ago and still no reply. Unbelievable. "
" Enterprise Map for Petrol Station was confusing and actual station un-signposted on the approach street - quite easy to miss. "
" We got the car unwashed , with a scratch under the front size.This damage wasn't marked on the obtained forms and we didn't lying on the floor to check under the car.We never did this thing,we checked only exterior and interior of the car.. Of course, when we dropped off the car they saw that scratch and put it as our damage. Also, after we gave them our company card and personal ID for making 1000 EU quarantee deposit, we noticed that 3 unauthorized transactions on Amazon appeared on our company account in the next days. We informed the bank and the police about that. Definitively, we'll not recommended Buchbinder/Globalrent, therefore for our next month travel we choose already other company. "
" All good. Only issue which I might have was the drop off of the car in Munich. It was ver unclear that all you needed to do was leave the car keys in the car and walk away. I never experienced this before and was a little unsure if it was the right thing to do. "
" I paid for Skoda Octavia and got a Skoda Rapid. "
" Some delay in having the car ready, but understandable as this is their peak season. We were treated very well and were even invited with a coffee in the waiting time. The car itself was very good. "
" The service at the reception was not very nice, the upsell was very obvious but it was quick. The return of the car was very quick. "
" Good service as usual! "
" I thought it would be standard to have a navigation system on board a rental car these days - alas it is not! that was a big inconvenience and a disappointment. "
" The Enterprise Representative continued to speak only German to me, despite me speaking in English. The car came with only 1 quarter tank of fuel, this was not explained at handover and I had to call Customer Services later to inform them. When I indicated I was not happy with the car (wanted a Diesel) and asked for another model, the Agent just shrugged his shoulders. Return was similar, disinterested Staff, took the keys and that was that. "
" My flight was delayed by 2 hours and I was told that my car, that I had booked and paid for, was gone. But conveniently there was a more expensive car available. When I went to the garage there was plenty of cars. This is disgraceful and I will never use your company again. "
" Stop stealing money from the people who have booked cars with you. A bad review will cost you a lot more than the extra money you charged me. Never again. "
" Car in excellent, almost new `condition`, well-priced. Navigation system a bit wonky but still invaluable. Europcar easy to deal with. "
" The members of Staff I dealt with spoke excellent English. Pickup and Return were handled very quickly with minimum of fuss/paperwork. Car was clean and fully fuelled. Only thing lacking was parking for my car for the weekend. But I guess that's to be expected. I parked around the corner and the car was ok. Great value! "
" Fast and friendly service. Very satisfied "
" The online booking was fine and easy to process "
" Actually, I am not particularly happy. Even though I mentioned at the airport Hertz spot that I bought full insurance online I got charged another 90 euro plus "service fee" of 40 eur. All together it was way more expensive that I expected. If I knew the final cost at the beginning I would rely on the public transport, which was my idea initially. If I would ever consider renting a car again, I don't think Hertz would be my choice. "
" Fine - no issues. "
" Maurice was very professional and efficient. Very happy with the service and would be glad to use it again. "
" they made write-off (instead of reservation) from my card for the amount including insurance for 1000 EUR. Now this is in my bank statement and I have no idea how to fix it. "
" we ended paying an extra 180 euro for extra insurance even though we took your top offer with super cover etc "
" long que in airport. should have more staff when they know there are a lot of people renting at the same time. will now always go direct to one of the larger firms where there will be more efficiencies and we will know the exact cost before we arrive. "
" Very helpful , well trained and friendly Very helpful pleasant rep in returns area A new level in car rental experience "
" Very helpful , well trained and friendly Very helpful pleasant rep in returns area A new level in car rental experience "
" great they reply in all queries "
" never had problem, car is good "
" I have only one problem. My deposit was not reimbursed yet. I was told that I would receive the money in 3 days and 5 days have passed. "
" Всегда самые приятные тарифы и информация практически обо всех арендных компаниях "
" Супер! Сделали бесплатный апгрейд. В итоге вместо Гольф класса получил ауди А3 кабриолет. очень в тему, учитывая солнечную погоду "
" Works as expected "
" Europcar quality service at a discounted price "
" Good price and no problems with booking. "
" Great car, no wait at Munich airport, friendly staff. "
" I had to wait 1.5 hours to collect my car When I dropped it off they tried to claim I had damaged it even though it was marked when I got it. "
" There is a tendency for long queues (1hr) to form at peak times to collect the car., most notably on Saturday morning is there a reason why pre-booked cars cannot be processed faster / separately. . "
" Small snag that there was an additional fee for driving to Austria, which was not clear from the initial comparison exhibit. "
" Very, very friendly staff and, although the queue was long, it moved fast, thanks to the efficiency of the staff. 10/10 "
" When I inspected the car before heading off I detected many scratches which were not mentioned as Altschaden. Thankfully there was a Buchbinder/GLOBAL DRIVE employee present in the car par who confirmed and signed off those scratches on the Check Out report. I would expect GLOBAL DRIVE to take greater care checking returned rental cars and register any damages. Thank you. "
" Extra driver fee was relatively high, more than half the cost of hiring the car itself! "
" The staff at the desk (Corina) was rude, didn't smile and was abrupt when asking for the driver's credit card. "
" Top service "
" Top personal service "
" Excellent and friendly service. We were impressed also with the speed of processing the paperwork. Initially it was difficult to find the desk as a number of companies came under the same name. "
" was nice to get a good car "
" The contract was for an automatic transmission, but they did not have one available so received a manual car. Unsure whether their was any price difference in my favor. "
" Very quick to process. Excellent car, "
" as above "
" Delay of approx. 40 minutes at check in desk when getting car. There seemed to be a problem with the computer terminal but the staff however was very friendly and pleasant. The remainder of the service was excellent. "
" No problems at all pick up and return went smoothly "
" Our first time with KEDDY but just like Eurocar and very efficient "
" Too many scratches on the rental not marked on the agreement and the car was dirty making it difficult to see all. "
" When the rental is so badly marked it should be clearly stated on the agreement "
" Auto Europe charge me 36.98 Euro, but Dollar also charge me 61.47 euro additionally !!! "
" Europcar (the pickup point) told us that if we returned the car a day early we would get a day's refund, so we went out of our way to return the car early and changed our travel plans, only to have Eurocar reneg on their agreement when we dropped of the car. For this reason I and our company plus clients couldn't use your service again (you need your own staff who know what they're talking about). "
" No one from Keddy was working at Frankfurt.. Only Europcar who didn't understand the rental agreement. "
" Waited 90 minutes to get car. Will never use them again. One girl on desk for a queue of 20 customers. All other car hire comapanies had 2 or more people working on the desk. "
" friendly service, no complaints. Got upgraded to SUV class from mid size car. "
" Fast and friendly service "
" Easy to book, car in good condition and very clean. Good oparison of rates. "
" Pleasant and helpful at desk, car clean and good. A lot of congestion on return to rental carpark but people helpful. Signs into airport for rental returns to be clear that it is not just T2 returns but returns for ALL rental cars "
" Very Satisfied "
" Cheapest prices, excellent service. Information provided on the website and voucher were accurate and complete. No surprises at the desk. "
" Friendly service, helpful crew. Cars in excellent condition. Very reasonable prices. I would strongly recommend. "
" I always book with Autoeurope..that won't change! "
" Very efficient,friendly "
" Everything perfect, thank you "
" Very good "
" Excellent customer service, my enquires were dealt with quickly. I contacted customer services to say my flight was delayed and they contacted the rental company while on was still on the phone to advise them of my delay and assured me the rental company would wait after hours for me. Overall I was very impressed. "
" Very helpful even after I was nearly 2 hrs delayed. I had expected a larger car, I booked a hyundai i40 or similar but was given a puegeot 308sw. To be honest the car sufficed for my needs and overall I was happy. "
" For the most part very professional but not very efficient at either pickup and especially drop off. The GPS took some navigating of its own. I never like the sales pitch to pay for gas up front. There is a very large easily accessible gas station at airport entrance but the sales pitch included "in case you are having difficulty finding a gas station" instead of letting you know about the gas station. Extra insurance to take to zero deductible was expensive E37 and 'highly recommended' directly and indirectly. Nice new vehicle but a part of the rear number plate frame fell of on closing. Offputting. for a mid range, sure was loaded with features to get accustomed to. Experience with short rental from London on June 1 was a bad experience "
" Car provided by Global Drive was advertising car,outside full of stickers. Not suitable at all for business travels. Upon request was changed to to van as similar size car not available. Van was technically not ok. Huge noise while driving. Some electric problems , not functioning parking assistance what is needed for a 9 seat van. "
" I was satisfied with Auto Europe. However I still don't see the reason for paying for excess when the car hire company give the option of full insurance cover. "
" I thought the price was a little expensive compared to a car hire I got in Munich two years ago. "
" Specify additional charges which were higher than the actual rental price "
" Specify additional charges which were higher than the actual rental price "
" Nothing "
" costs laike additional payment for the trip to another country should be included in the initial result list. search options should take care of this insurance coverage options should be there too this would allow compare apples to apples "
" too much to write here but policies are on the border of cheating. avoid them if possible "
" Long wait to collect car in Airport "
" For me Auto Europe it was always the best and the cheapest way to rent cars abroad. Very professional and good service to. "
" I collect the car in time and they were very nice and professional. Quick and easy way to return to "
" Why deposit? Price for rent was 140 euro and deposit was 1000 euro! And why 30 days? I bought Refundable Excess Coverage, why deposit? Fuel? But a full tank is no more than 70 euros. Penalties? But it's my relationship with the authoritie. "
" All good, thanks. "
" It will be better to see prices in EUR too. "
" A car was a little bit smoller than I booked (Opel Zafira Touring instead of Ford Galaxy or so) but enough for us. "
" Very disappointed. Our car broke down because of the lack of 'adblue' We had to go to garage and purchase 4 bottles. As you can imagine this was extremely stressful When hiring a car - also a more luxury car than the initial booking - we upgraded- you expect it to run smoothly. The car wasn't the cleanest - chewing gum stuck on the front passenger seat and then running out of adblue!!! Terrible. This should be kept topped up by the maintenance team before each new rental "
" When we complained re the additional cost and stress with the ad lye we did get a credit jesters back but not enough for me to trust again. "
" Company wouldn't accept Debit card for security deposit but this was never mentioned during the booking process. Disappointing customer service. Rented a car 48 hours later with Hertz (via Auto Europe also) and had no such issue with the same debit card. "
" Myself and my partner have used Auto Europe on several occasions now and never had a problem until this trip. "
" Booked a seven seated vehicle through Auto Europe but on arrival at Munich airport decided to upgrade to a larger vehicle.Received a Mercedes vito.While on our trip to Austria I noticed a very loud noise which sounded like a wheel bearing gone.This noise was so bad you could not hear the people behind you.I phoned Buchbinder and they said to take it to a Mercedes garage as it was still in warranty and if the garage said it was unsafe the would replace it.I lost half a day of my holiday doing this.The mechanic drove the vehicle and said it was not safe to drive.Buchbinder agreed to replace the vehicle the next morning.They gave me another Vito which had the same issue. Two dangerous vehicles issued in two days.DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. "
" Very friendly and efficient staff at allgau airport "
" All good, thanks. "
" I returned the car on time without any problems but they charge me (Buchbinder) for extra day without any reason?? I'm trying to resolve this problem but i still did't get my refunds back.. This company (Buchbinder) realy disappointed me... "
" The price for the GPS was not included in the total price. I had to pay the rental company for it. It was not clear during the reservation. "
" GPS was not working properly, the plug was loose and the battery was empty when we first got it. I had to use roaming data to get a GPS. Gas indicator was not accurate, I had to ring the rental company to confirm the gas tank was full when I took the car. "
" Car was good but service at desk in Düsseldorf airport was slow, Though staff were helpful and pleasant. "
" Maybe it will be a good idea not to try and charge any deposit (block some funds), because some people may not be aware of the practice and also the credit card companies are not letting us spend more than a certain amount of money on daily basis. Otherwise your staff made it possible for me to rent the car (and spend the money) and I ended up happy. "
" The man at the desk was great and understanding; he made every effort to give me the car. "
" Good value and ease of booking. "
" I had a problem when I picked up the car and when I dropped it back. The counter representitve was very aggressively trying to sell additional insurance which I declined. When I returned the car the same person checked the car. he suggested there were scratches on the wing mirror which I could not see. I told him I had no problems with the car and did not see the scratching he was alluding to. (It was dark when I both picked up and returned the car). I asked for a receipt and was told he could not issue a receipt as we did not agree on the damage and it would be posted to my home address. I don't believe the car received any damage while I had it and was quite upset be the manner and attitude of the Hertz representative. "
" Long waiting to the desk! "
" Very efficient and curteous. "
" everything year and to date "
" Not possible to check car for damage in parking cellar garage, damage sheet not filled out. Frankfurt hahn airport found damage on rear bumper that was there a long time "
" Everthing went as it should "
" Very quick and efficient. Whst you want when renting a car "
" Prompt delivery of voucher with clear instructions on pick up of car. It would be useful to include the costs of add on such as insurance to remove the insurance excess etc. "
" Lovely to deal with,very professional "
" very good website. Good service. Shame you do business with Global Drive who were an abysmal rental company "
" We booked a Mercedes B class or equivalent. We received a Skoda Roomster. In no way are these cars an equivalent class. Despite complaining to the assistant at the desk the only option offered would have cost extra. When we tried to fill the fuel tank the tank cap wouldn't unlock. The car manual was in slovakian so couldnt offer any assistance. After 10 minutes we reluctantly gave up and proceeded to drop the car back to the rental drop off in Munich airport. We were left waiting there for at least 15 mins before a Global Drive rep turned up to inspect the car. The rep offered no assistance whatsoever about the fuel cap. To top things off there were no luggage trolleys in the area so we had to carry heavy luggage over to the terminal. "
" Our only quibble...the cost of adding a 2nd driver is a bit high? Otherwise all is great,Good company to deal with. "
" was left waiting "
" paid extra for car "
" I paid 125.44 to auto Europe on 22-Jun for Car Hire. Hertz charged me 209.37 yesterday after returning car. Even thought they pressurized me into accepting extra insurance, this cannot account for the extra cost "
" Hertz pressurized me into taking extra insurance I had chosen not to take at time of booking. I felt I had no choice but to take the extra charge. I do not understand how extra insurance can amount to 209.37 for 5 days rental. "
" Car was available as requested and at time requested. "
" Global drive was fine. The agent tried to sell me additional cover I pointed out that the broker had an inclusive excess policy, the agent was dismissive of this and said his additional policy was better. The agent charged 20 euro for travel outside Germany as I said that it was possible that I may go to France or Switzerland. I thought this unusual but did not dispute it. "
" Finding the desk at the airport a bit confusing. No sign for Auto Europe. "
" I'm not happy with my experience with Autoeurope.I was supposed to arrive at Bremen airport at 12:30 but we were delayed,I went to Hertz to take the car around 2 pm,I wanted to take the full insurance from autoeurope,I tried to do that online but your website did not accept, I signed the contract and got the keys,I called you guys to request full insurance after almost two hours of trying to do it online and we were very exhausted as well as our kids.One of your staff called Hertz and made sure from them that we didn't move the car yet from the garage yet,but still he refused to give us the full insurance.This was very disappointing after all this time waiting infront of Hertz!! "
" Everything perfect , good service, thanks. "
" Everything perfect, good service, thanks. "
" I should be able to login as see all my bookings. "
" The car was horrible! "
" Very Happy. "
" Very long time waiting to be checked in but very happy besides. "
" Everything OK "
" Smooth pickup - not much of a queue & helpful staff. I got delayed on returning the car and unable to refuel it due to rush to check-in, so had to return it half full and pay a hefty penalty for that - couldn't be helped, it was cheaper than missing the flight! The car itself was very nice. "

" Great service as usual "
" Car provided was very different from the make / model booked. Did not consider either option to be same category even. Booked a saloon, got the option of a 4x4 or an estate. "
" I was happy , no comments to make. "
" Very happy no comments "
" Good service, and we got what we ordered, and more. "
" Pleasant service, and we got an upgrade on the car which was very handy. "
" Best Price on Car hire anywhere, by far. "
" Asked for a Diesel and got an instant upgrade. Very Happy. "
" Grate servis. Never had problems. "
" This time everything was fine. "
" I usually use Auto-Europe when I go abroad maybe once or twice a year. I would encourage better understanding of the difficulties encountered by people with physical collect and returning rental cars. "
" Good service excellent car all in all a very good experience. "
" all was ok "
" all was fine "
" Good value, transparent pricing structure and good issue resolution "
" Overcharged for very poor quality child seats "
" I found Auto Europe staff excellent when I make a phone enquiry. "
" I had difficulty finding the car at the airport car park, the car park is huge and I got lost a few times, with my wife and 2 children and all our luggage... Perhaps this was my fault, the Thrifty rep did give me direction. I believe a map that highlights where the car is located would be excellent and a great help for an initial positive customer experience. "
" I have no issues with Autoeurope "
" Due to my experience with this company I advise users to use a different rental company as they are very unreasonable to deal with "
" I'm yet to have anything but excellent service from Autoeurope. Always the first and last website I use. "
" Very friendly staff, spotless new car with more extras than I thought. I would highly recommend Enterprise. "
" All worked fine "
" THey did not have the sat nav for the car I booked so got a free upgrade to a much better car which was nice! Just had the usual annoying add ons for excess waiver and a charge for crossing the border to Luxembourg which I have never seen before but generally it was fine and staff were helpful - German car hire is expensive though compared to a lot of Europe "
" Easy to book, all information was available online "
" The staff made the experience very easy to collect and deliver the car. "

" Hertz never leave me confident that the charge i prepaid will be final! So far it seems to be so. Also brakes on car were very noisy but I didnt have time to go back to ask to change it. "
" Another very satisfactory rental arranged through Auto Europe. "
" There was quite a long wait to complete the paperwork on collection of the car however the staff member was very courteous and Thrifty gave us a complimentary upgrade. The car was perfect and I was very satisfied with the rental. "
" Very happy both with the customer service and with the car given to us, Thank you. "
" No suggestions really, An S-Max as an option would have been good but not vital, Cheers. "
" always have the best deals. "
" Asking 1000 for hold before car is released is ridiculous when others are asking 250. will never advise someone to use Thrifty or their partner. "
" Hi Guys , keep up the good work - it was a pleasure renting the car in Dusseldorf - fabulous service very nice staff and the car was impeccable as you would expect especially if you rent the car in Germany.

" hi collection was great only 2 people in the queue, collected a lovely new car, was suprised that there wasnt a document to sign off in case there were any marks on the car, similary on return we droped the car off, noone checked it and the guy who told me where to park it said to just leave the keys on the seat, i found that unusual as noone checked the car, howereve it make getting the car and droping it off fantastically easy and was so quick "
" have someone sign out the car with any marks and similary on the way back what if one of your employees or someone else marks the car after ive given it back i have nothing signed as to time back and car in the same condition as i received it "
" Very good servis. "
" Very friendly and responsive team.I liked. "
" I found dealing with AutoEurope that they were efficient, that the voucher they issued was comprehensive and complete and that in comparision with other brokers that they gave value for money. "
" I found that Hertz were efficient. There was no waiting around and the car was clear and as I expected. The car check at the end of the hire was fine and the service given was satisfactory. "
" 5/5 "

" Was a bit hard to find car park. It was very hard to check the car in the dark and rain "
" Very easy to book and never any trouble with service "
" Friendly staff, just the car we wanted (there was even a choice!), everything just no problem! "
" The website is very efficiente and easy to use. Everithing was all right. Thank you! "
" Every contact with people of Auto Europe was very pleasant and they answered all of our doubts. Thank you very much! "
" There was nobody at the ADVANTAGE desk in Hamburg. I had to ask a passing Hertz employee where to go. "
" Overall a very pleasant experience. "
" I was unable to leave the car back with a full tank of petrol. This was due to there being no filling stations within about 30/40km from airport. The filling station at the airport is very poorly marked and I was unable to brake in time. To impose a fee is harsh in these circumstances. The tank was almost 3/4 full and i will feel very agrieved if I am penalised for this. notwithstanding this I will definltely use Europcar again without hesitation. "
" very very helpful as I forgot my voucher. This did not pose a problem to the staff in Munich who went out of their way to help. See comments above under autoeurope "
" Very effecient service, very helpful and friendly staff. Thank you. "
" Hi, The car we were given was extremely dirty both outside and inside. We informed the Thrifty agent and he agreed and had the car cleaned. We were delayed over an hour waiting for the car to be sorted out for us. Once we did get the car everything else was fine. "

" great service, no hassle with pease of mind of excess claimback "
" got astra instead of meriva which I though was smaller but overall happy enough. "
" Service was excellent, car provided was good and I will most certainly use Auto Europe again "
" only one person was on the desk so we had a bit of a wait to get our car "
" Very helpful and welcoming. "
" We were given all info when we arrived and when we returned the car the staff in the car park were very efficient. "
" I would like to be able to purchase a rental with zero excess from yourselves. Advantage charge 24 per day which is expensive. Perhaps you should consider a zero excess add-on ? "
" Fine, apart from cost of zero excess insurance. Check in was very efficient, as was the return of the car. No issues. "
" should be clearer instructions about where and how the car is returned. "
