Lovely but underpowered car with pressure and poor transparency of costs- so won’t use again

If you didn't purchase full insurance from the store, you'll likely be blamed for tire and glass issues when returning the car. When picking up the car, its condition was mediocre with many scratches. I took photos for a long time but didn't get clear pictures of the glass and tires, and was ultimately forced to accept the claim of damage when returning the car.

We booked a Mercedes Vito but were given a Fiat. Later, we upgraded to an automatic Volkswagen Transporter for 7 people. The rental company demanded an exorbitant upgrade fee of 2000 pounds (an extra 190 pounds per day!) which was even more expensive than other companies' rental fees for a 9-seater automatic at the same time! However, since we had already paid for the manual car, we had to upgrade with them... The vehicle already had several scratches, but they weren't all recorded on the inspection sheet. When returning the car, the company charged us an additional 450 pounds for a minor scratch on the roof. It feels like this company exploits customers to claim insurance. Will never use this company again!

I waited in line for almost two and a half hours, and then the process took another two hours. They asked all sorts of personal questions, like my job and home address, which I've never experienced in all my years of renting cars. The efficiency was low, and they even told me to inspect the car by myself. They said if there's an issue, come back to me. It was really frustrating.

You took a commission, so the rental company tries to earn it back by any means.

The deposit was very high.
