This was the worst car rental experience I've had in many years. They gave us a car that already had scratches. Thankfully, we had full insurance and took photos when we picked up the car. We returned the car in Salzburg, and the rental company staff there asked for a damage report from when we rented the car. No one had given us or reminded us to take such a report earlier, but they said it was fine since we had full insurance and we wouldn't need to pay extra. In the end, we found out they charged us an additional 140 euros, and we have no idea what for. We contacted the rental car service to inquire. It's been over a week now, and we still haven't received a response. Very dissatisfied.

Extra charges and taxes are very high!

The company is very professional and truly deserving of being a world-class car rental company. It was easy to find following the instructions after leaving the airport. Since we crossed the border into Italy, they replaced the Mercedes with a 9-seater Ford. The only drawback was the requirement to purchase comprehensive insurance (originally insurance was included, but it might have been invalidated by crossing the border). The original 10-day rental was 641 euros, but it totaled 1099 euros in the end, which is a bit pricey.

The drive was smooth, completed paperwork at the counter, picked up the car at the parking lot, and there were staff available to answer questions about the car.

The staff at the store were friendly, the car was relatively new and performed well. However, I originally rented an Opel or a similar model, and the store gave me a Fiat 500X. Is that in the same category? Was it an upsell? During the return, the staff mentioned a tire scratch and a tiny paint chip on a mirror. I believe these were pre-existing, as I had no incidents during my trip. Unfortunately, I didn't notice them during pick-up.
