“The worst car hire experience of my life, terrible customer service and general chaos .”
About ACE:5.0/10
We arrived on time to pick up our rental car only to be met by a sea of people waiting to collect their cars . Firstly, there were only 4 staff working and they each took around 20mîns if not more to serve each customer! No sense of trying to speed up to help with the ever growing queues! Once we had waited for 2 hours and 20 mins (!!!) we finally had our number called . We were then met by an incredibly slow, unapologetic and borderline agressive member of staff. When we asked for an explanation for the long wait and utter chaos, we were given no apology ( as the representative of ACE should have done in basic customer service ) and just an aggressive and rude attitude whilst we tried to collect our car.
In the many years of travel and use of car hire companies at Bordeaux Meringnac airport I have never been treated so incredibly badly nor had to wait so long with no apology or basic customer service. I will never use this company again and will be sure to pass the word on amoung my contact , friends , family and anyone else who I know is looking for car rental .
Good car and rental. Still haven't received any communication from them after the rental, including them holding on to my deposit even though they said the car was alright.
“La pire expérience de location, Adieu Goldcar et interrent (même groupe)”
About Interrent:4.7/10
La pire expérience de location. Deux heures d'attente pour récupérer un véhicule déjà réservé et payé d'avance. Le guichet interrent était fermé à l'arrivé, j'ai été redirigé vers celui de Goldcar. Où après deux heure d'attente, on m'a fait de la pression pour prendre différentes assurances. Pour finir, un retour identique avec de l'attente pour bien vous faire comprendre que vous auriez du prendre l'assurance hors de prix. Bref un personnel détestable. Donc plus jamais Goldcar ni interrent.
“Je ne re louerai certainement pas une voiture sur ce site.”
About ACE:6.7/10
Le retrait de la voiture a été horriblement long (plus d’une heure à faire la queue et au guichet). Le tarif paye sur internet était le plus compétitif mais une fois l’option super assurance et pas besoin d’etat Des lieux de retrait et de retour le tarif est nettement moins compétitif du fait de l’attente.
“When renting from Bordeaux airport avoid Hertz/Thrifty”
About Thrifty:5.7/10
The staff appears constantly overwhelmed and the wait times are unacceptable (second time this year I rent from this location). There was a line snaking out the door to return vehicle and I had to use the key drop off else I would have missed my plane. They should invest in the same technology as other Hertz/Thifty locations where staff meets incoming cars with hand held device that checks customer out. Last time I picked up a car from this Hertz location it took over 45 minutes to get out! I will definitely make sure I rent from one of the other agencies next time I'm in BOD.
“Very disapponting, will consider different rental company in future”
About GOLDCAR:6.3/10
Long queue for desk.No car available when we went to desk. Spent around 40 minutes with attendant( very nice but dealing with a car shortage she didn’t create)
New car finally arrived, total time probably 90 minutes.
Discovered after 3 days that spare tire had been removed, only a small compressor no emergency aerosol
Majority of our journeys were autoroute and we would have been stranded if we had a puncture.
Gold car staff did not tell us this at pick up and on return said we would have to drive on flat tyre until at a service station
Very dangerous advice not to mention destruction of tyre and wheel.
Disappointing experience having had Gold car for last 4/5 rentals
Une personne au guichet le vendredi à 16h pour récupérer une voiture et 20 minutes par client. Pas de petite voiture disponible alors que je l'avais commandé depuis 2 mois. Problème de coffre à la prise de la voiture et encore 20 mn d'attente pour en trouver une autre !! Je ne recommanderai pas Thrifty et He
Waited over an hour, in a hot terminal, to pick up car. Staff said I needed extra insurance !! This was paid for up front, and they should have been made aware. Overall cost was £20 higher than original quote. On the plus side, car was upgraded to a new seat arona.
J'ai fait la queue debout pendant deux heures avant d'atteindre le guichet, un des employés a été très désagréable avec les clients qui attendaient. C'est inadmissible.
“Spend the extra money not to rent with ACE, it will be worth it”
About ACE:5.7/10
ACE was dire. The pick up took over an hour. After a flight with a 6 month baby and a 5 year old, this was far too long to wait to get to the desk to be served. English was poor, and it was a battle to convince them of the insurance I had already paid for with AXA via Easyrent. They even tried to con us out of 20 Euros for petrol to fill up saying the nearest petrol station was over 30km away from the airport. I had been to the airport several times and the petrol station that was 5km away has always sufficed.
It took 5 hours to rent the car and everything was as vague as can be.
The whole process is designed to sell Insurance and upgrades. A ridiculous process which created 60 people long queues.
I am sure that these rental agencies are either owned or financed by the main players like Hertz with the sole objective to drive people back to them and NEVER , EVER consider leaving again.
