Sloppy service, low efficiency, and shortchanging.

The car rental company has very good service.

Renting a car in Europe is not as convenient as in the US. Most people drive small cars like Peugeot, Citroen, and Fiat, which have very small trunks and narrow seats. Considering I had 2-3 large pieces of luggage, I rented a Citroen station wagon, but they gave me a Ford station wagon with over 70,000 kilometers on it. I refused, then they offered me a Fiat with 25,000 kilometers. I insisted on a car with no more than 2,000 kilometers. They said they had none, and told me to just find any car in the parking lot and drive it. Eventually, they brought in a Ford station wagon with 500 kilometers, which uses diesel. Fuel cost was about 1.5 euros per liter, and I spent 130 euros on fuel for the 1200 kilometers. The car was thoroughly inspected upon return, and they held a deposit for several weeks before returning it. They also made me buy additional insurance at 29 euros per day on top of the basic insurance.

I need a damage report for the claim that they currently put on me for 2500 Euro. I had an incidence where the right front Tyre was flat prior to me returning the car. The recovery number which I called, I have hard time trying to communicated for language barrier.

So far so good.

Pas d’agent présent au comptoir. C’est l’agent du comptoir national qui m’a pris en charge.
