Car was clean and perfect for what we wanted. When we dropped the car off my wife realised after 20mins that she had left her mobile phone in the car and we were in the airport building. The staff were great as the returned the car from where it had already been taken, found the phone and got it back to my wife within 5-10mins.
I mentioned many times at the counter that I had already purchased comprehensive insurance from my home country, but they kept trying to sell me their glass and commercial insurance. They wouldn't give me the keys, saying we needed that insurance to cross into Belgium. We had no choice but to buy it. Initially, they said it would be 65 euros, but with taxes, it ended up being over 80 euros.
The counter staff sold us and upgraded our booking to a "more econonical" car for an extra 6€ per day.
The car we got was new, bigger and spacier, but far from economical. We drove around 450km and we needed to tank 51l of petrol. That is 11,33l fuel consumption per 100km. We felt mislead by the counter staff.
Moreover, the car had very bad sound insulation. On an open highway, it was so loud inside the car that we couldn't talk to normally each other or listen clearly to the radio.
Lastly, the garage for drop-off is very dirty and there is no elevator to go back to ground level (from -4 level). We had to take dirty stairs with insufficient lighting where homeless people sleep in order to get out of the garage building. Not a very pleasant experience.
“Nice car but worked out more than budgeted due to extras at collection.”
About Budget:9.7/10
We liked the car. Service for us at collection and drop off were good but another customer was getting a hard sell for extra insurance which would put us off renting with budget again. We did have to queue a long time to pick up the car.
