We had already purchased insurance and paid all rental and insurance fees in our home country. However, the German rental company added their own insurance at the counter without clearly informing us. They only mentioned the additional cost when we returned the car. Germans tend to add their own insurance based on their understanding, and it can be quite expensive.

The car was fine, but the German lady at the rental office was extremely grumpy. Just arriving in a foreign country and not yet accustomed to the English environment, I was slow to respond, and she was incredibly impatient. She misread my order and I had to argue with her for over half an hour until another employee came and sorted out my order. Due to the additional half-hour, I was charged for an extra day of rental. I asked for a refund through the rental platform, and also disputed the charge with my credit card company. When neither route seemed to work, the rental company proactively refunded me for the extra day. Lifelong fan of this rental platform.

Satisfied

Good service, patient and not pushy about selling extra insurance.

When I returned, I noticed that the price was different from what I booked online. I was in a hurry and didn't ask at the time. The car was a Skoda; I expected a Mercedes.
