1. Significant discrepancy in order amounts: The amounts on the car rental site, the pickup invoice, and the post-swap invoice were completely different! At pickup, the staff gave me three different amounts! The last one was close to the amount shown by the rental site.
2. Overcharging: I noticed that the pre-authorization charge was significantly higher than the actual amount, so I verified multiple times with the car rental company. Finally, they told me the extra money would be refunded as a pre-authorization, but in reality, only €850 was refunded, and the rest was not returned!
3. Large unexplained charges: On October 19th, when I swapped the car, I was directly charged two amounts of $1271.39 each, totaling over $2500! I am currently communicating with the car rental company to find out why.
4. Confusion at pickup, meticulous at dropoff: During pickup, the staff asked me to inspect the car myself. After a round of inspection, I found discrepancies with the reported issues, such as a dent in the left door that didn't actually exist. When I asked a staff member to check, he was reluctant but eventually admitted it was an error. The dropoff was even more ridiculous; the staff circled the car multiple times and pointed out a tiny dent on the left door that I couldn't see even with glasses. They said it could be from someone else hitting my door. I was speechless!
Picking up the car was smooth, but returning it was a bit troublesome. The main issue was the inaccurate navigation to the return location, which didn't lead to the parking lot entrance. This caused us to circle around four times and ask for directions twice before finding the entrance.
The attitude was outrageously poor. I booked a Mercedes but they gave me a Hyundai, insisting it was the same class of car. When I argued, they said either take it or cancel the order and rent from another company. Ridiculous...
After returning the car, I went to the office for a receipt. They promised to send it by email but never did.
The service was terrible! The car broke down halfway, and they asked the customer to contact the car supplier on their own. They didn't provide a replacement vehicle and asked the customer to take a taxi back from 70km away from the destination. The rental company would cover the taxi fare, but it had to be done before they closed, otherwise, they would be off duty! They even said they reserved the right to hold the customer responsible after the vehicle inspection report is out!? Unbelievable. Especially since I already pointed out that the clutch felt off when I picked up the car. Still, they said they would wait for the inspection report before making any decisions. Also, the car provided was not the model I originally rented; it had a lower chassis. When driving in heavy snow, its passability was terrible!
The process was quick and the staff was enthusiastic.
