About Buchbinder:10.0/10
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.
For the past few years, I have been traveling to Germany and Switzerland every January. This is my second time renting a car at Frankfurt Airport. Buchbinder is located right inside the airport, making it easy to find. The staff were very nice throughout the process. Picking up the car from the garage was convenient, and the car was new and well-equipped. Everyone was very satisfied!
The attitude of this company is extremely bad. They do not accept magnetic stripe credit cards and do not inform upfront. I purchased full insurance, but they still charged me 1200 euros as a deposit. They also charge 45 euros for cross-border service, very greedy. I tried to negotiate with the rental platform for a refund, and it's been 7 days without any response. Later, I went to HERZ and was very satisfied. A 9-seater Mercedes for less than 400 euros for 3 days with full insurance, with a prepaid fuel charge of a bit more than 200 euros. When returning the car, the inspection staff falsely claimed that 45 euros of fuel was missing, even though the tank was full. I went to the HERZ counter, showed my refueling receipt which confirmed a full tank, and they said I had done the right thing and would verify it at the counter.
