When picking up the car, many things were not communicated clearly, and there were issues contacting the rental company. We picked up the car at Frankfurt Airport and were told we had to pay even though we had already paid in full in our home country. The representative said they couldn't find the payment on the system. After calling the rental company and sending some pictures, the issue was resolved. They mentioned a fee of five euros per day for additional drivers and a cross-border fee, which was acceptable. However, when returning the car, they said the payment was incomplete. Besides the additional driver and cross-border fees, there was a 21% tax, totaling 389 euros. After contacting the rental company again, we finally paid 329 euros. This process was quite unreliable, even if the rental price was relatively cheap. Can't the rental company standardize their operational procedures?
The transaction was handled at another company's counter, and the explanation was unclear. The additional driver fee quoted was very different from the final charge. They originally said it was 5 euros per day, capped at 50 euros, and including tax it should have been around 60 euros. However, after agreeing, they charged my card 130 euros! Including the remaining balance for the car rental, it totaled over 160 euros! This is a typical case of fraudulent charges.
The staff tried very hard to sell insurance at pick-up. They were unhappy when I didn't buy it and tried to scare me about potential high costs if the car had any issues. There were very few car models available, much worse than Alamo in the US.
