It was pouring rain on the day of pickup, but luckily the rental location was nearby. The car I originally booked was unavailable, so they first switched me to a VW Tiguan with automatic transmission. In the country, these coincidences don't often happen, so I firmly requested a change. They then gave me an Audi A4 station wagon with S-line trim and a manual diesel engine, and I let it go.
It's crucial to buy full insurance due to fraudulent behavior concerning car damage. No damage was noted at pickup, no collisions occurred during the trip, but they claimed the rear was rear-ended and there were many scratches at return, asking for €1698 in compensation. The loss would have been significant without full insurance.
Pretty good experience. We rented the car around 7 AM with no queue. They handed us the keys and we had to find the car ourselves in the parking lot. You need to get familiar with the various controls like headlights, wipers, and audio system. Took us a while before we felt confident to drive. We booked a Benz A, but got an Opel Astra diesel version instead. The car had 6400 kilometers on it and came with adaptive headlights and a multimedia screen.
The staff was friendly and only asked if I wanted additional insurance, with no hidden charges. The car had only 8000 kilometers on it, and I picked it up through a self-service process after completing the paperwork. When returning the car, the elderly staff just took the car and said I could leave, mentioning they would inspect it and contact the credit card holder if there were any issues. I wonder if there will be any charges? Haha, I didn't go back to the office to ask. Hopefully not, I drove very carefully. ^_^
Very efficient service, whether for picking up or returning the car. However, the return check was overly meticulous. I accepted even tiny scratches the size of a fingernail, but the repair cost for such a small scratch was over 200 euros! This is crazy. Thankfully, I bought full insurance.
The overall experience with the store was good. However, we originally thought the store was in the train station, but it actually isn't and it's quite a distance away. (Two years ago, we booked in Berlin and the store was right in the train station, which was very convenient). When picking up the car, the store technician introduced the car to us. Since it was a model we were not familiar with, and before we understood everything, he said the boss needed him to leave and hurried away, leaving us clueless about how to use the in-car navigation (because each model is a bit different). We had to hit the road quickly and later figured it out at a rest stop by asking someone else for help.
This rental location is clearly more popular than a few other brands, so there was a long wait to pick up the car. The staff were very friendly and explained every step and precaution clearly.
The pick-up and drop-off procedures were very convenient, and the car was in excellent condition. It was a new car with only 3000 kilometers, and being a diesel car, it was powerful and fuel-efficient. We only spent less than 200 euros on diesel for 2200 kilometers. The seven-seater was spacious for five people, and the luggage space was ample, making it perfect for long trips.
