Ordering and picking the car perfect. Returning the car annoying and infuriating.

It wasn't Buchbinder (they were bought by Europcar?). Be careful in the return process because they will "find" you an invisible scratch that you will never be able to trace (like under the baggage hood) to charge you for handling and fixing fees.

The store location is very convenient, all rental companies are between T1 and T2, easy to find. Processing one customer is very slow, around 15-20 minutes... The service attitude is quite average... Arrived at the counter at 6:40 am, a blonde lady said my reservation was for 7 am, so I had to wait 20 minutes. 20 minutes later, I was told they didn't have the car I wanted, only large vehicles like VANS, and I had to wait another 20 minutes... During this time, I saw four local German-speaking customers all get their cars smoothly (three of them were alone and only one group was a pair). Maybe I was overthinking, but they could all be renting VANS??? When I had waited for the third 20 minutes and saw another Chinese couple being told the same thing while locals got their cars smoothly, I got a bit angry. I directly asked the blonde lady how to resolve this issue, then a higher-ranking brunette came out, checked my order, and I told her about my waiting process. She immediately said OK, she would give me a new car but with an extra charge. Since I had already waited for over an hour, I didn't want to wait any longer and agreed. When I went to the garage to pick up the car, I found that they did have the car I wanted... it was just that they were all relatively new?? I don’t understand, maybe they were reluctant to give us these cars? Thankfully, the car I got was indeed new, with only 20KM on it... I probably won't choose this company next time.

First, I want to thank the Zuzuche platform. Over the past few years, I have frequently used this platform to rent cars for my overseas trips. This review is about my car rental experience at Frankfurt Airport in Germany. Originally, I requested a Ford wagon considering the length of my luggage. However, after completing the procedures at Terminal 1 and heading to the underground parking, I found an Opel compact car instead. Their parking lot had many cars, including numerous Ford wagons as requested. There were no service personnel in the parking area, so I returned to the service desk to explain the situation. I insisted on the Ford wagon, but the customer service tried to increase the price. Unable to reach an agreement, I decided to cancel the rental and called Zuzuche in China. During this call, the service personnel then mentioned that a Ford wagon was available in Terminal 2. I immediately went there, completed the procedures, and found the car in the parking lot without any assistance. After inspecting the car, I noticed obvious scratches on the front and back bumpers. I took photos and went back to the service desk to report it. They said that if I provide the photos with time and location when returning the car, it would be fine. With this confirmation, I started my trip. However, during the return, they made an issue about the front scratches being recorded but not the rear ones. They asked me to send the photos to their email and noted the situation in German on the return document. After returning home, I sent the photos and details to their email. Soon after, I received a charge of 1000 Euros on my credit card, in addition to the 1000 Euro deposit taken during the rental. I felt scammed, especially considering a German rental company shouldn't rent out damaged cars, particularly when there were many other normal cars available. This happened in Frankfurt, which was very unexpected. Looking around, other rental companies had rented out most of their cars, while this company had many cars left in the garage. It clearly indicates issues with their business model. Currently, I have reported this to Zuzuche customer service, who are helping me recover the charges. I suggest not cooperating with such dishonest companies and ensuring the rights of domestic users renting cars abroad, as we trust Zuzuche to assist us when problems arise overseas.
