I booked an Audi A6, but when I went to pick it up, I was only offered a Touareg or a BMW 5-Series for an additional cost. There was also a random premium location fee.
The rental company's staff had low English proficiency. It is unclear whether they deliberately deceived or if it was an honest mistake. We clearly stated that we only wanted to add GPS and no other extra insurance, but ended up being overcharged by nearly 200 euros. On the day of the rental, we repeatedly confirmed with the staff that the total cost was around 260 euros, but my credit card was charged over 470 euros. I believe the business practices of this rental company are very problematic. I advise others planning to visit Germany not to rent a car from this company.
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?
Like: Got a free upgrade, which is always nice. But had to wait a long time behind just 1 other customer to get service.
Car was in excellent condition. Had a great trip in Germany with the car. The price was a steal, even for the basic SUV I had originally requested. Dislike: No answer at all when calling their office to extend! They absolutely don't pick up the phone. In the end, I had to go to the airport again on the day I was supposed to return the car, to extend my reservation.
During drop off, no receipt/information about billing was given.
