The service staff's attitude was average. They tried to upsell full coverage insurance and an additional driver. The credit card pre-authorization was higher than estimated.

Satisfied.

This car rental company is notorious for fraud and is highly unreliable. The Google rating is less than 2 stars. Strongly recommend that Zuzuche remove this company. Specific issues include: - Push for overpriced insurance: They highly emphasize scenarios with high compensation to sell a €150 insurance policy. Upon refusal, they appear to take a vengeful stance. - Extremely slow pickup process: They questioned the translated document provided by Zuzuche. Later, I saw on Google reviews that this company tends to use document doubts to increase fees. - Malicious damage claims: The vehicle damage report was very vague and missed many parts, with no photos taken. After inspecting thoroughly, they reluctantly added details. At return, they scrutinized the car with a magnifying glass and claimed small white spots on the glass were my fault, demanding a glass replacement and charging €1100. Their attitude was extremely arrogant during communication.

Actually, there is no Surprise rental car. The actual rental company is Autoone; Surprise is just a brand name. There are three receptionists during the day, and the procedures are quite extensive. They kept recommending the very expensive full insurance. The car was not the small one we wanted, but a compact Opel Astra, and there was no explanation for the change. When picking up the car, no one inspected it with us. They just said to take photos of any issues for records. There was a notice at the front desk that there would be a €22 cleaning fee if the car was not returned clean, which was not mentioned on the rental platform. A €900 deposit pre-authorization was required. When returning the car, there were no issues found, and I requested the deposit hold to be released immediately. The staff agreed and operated the computer to send an electronic receipt. However, the deposit was still not released even after I returned home more than half a month ago; I don't know the reason.

It was a big surprise that they didn't accept my American driver's license and made me pay an extra $300 to be able to rent the car. Also, why do I have to drive a manual shift car in 2022? Shocking...

The process was easy, maybe state certain restrictions in a more obvious way so one won't be held hostage at the rental place to pay extra charges.
