CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON BUCHBINDER IN MUNICH

Waited in line for a long time, then didn't get the reserved car model, was told to wait half an hour, after half an hour had to queue again, was rudely told there were no other options.

Buchbinder is the worst rental car company in the airport imho. They offered a much lower class car instead of the premium one we reserved. They stated that its actually a better car because its bigger in size. We ended up trying to cancel with a fee. I would never go with them

They forced me to pay an extra 300 Euros for insurance, claiming it was mandatory to guarantee with a personal VISA chip card. I contacted the after-sales service of the rental platform immediately, but to no avail, so I had to pay.

El carro superó mis expectativas

Todo bien

The front desk staff of this company was extremely rude, and the process for renting a car was very disorganized. What is even more outrageous is that they charge an exorbitant car cleaning fee: 60 euros (including tax) for a Golf. Additionally, if you do not refuel the car fully, they charge three times the market rate for the fuel. I highly recommend not renting from this company. Opt for well-known brands like Europcar, Sixt, or Hertz instead.

It's okay.

Overcharged

Long waiting time in line, they changed the car model without permission, giving me a 1.6 Jeep Renegade (which starts at 110,000 RMB in China). I had reserved a BMW X1, but they claimed both cars are in the same category. The 1.6-liter engine's acceleration was terrible, and the driving experience was very poor. Complaints were useless; they said if I wanted to change the car, I had to pay more, and they kept pushing insurance. This rental company is very small, has few vehicles, and the car we got wasn't even German-plated; it had Slovakian plates. Be cautious when choosing a rental company. Don't do what I did, choosing a cheap option and regretting it later. Beware of foreign scams.

Very stubborn

It was a great experience!

Dislike: I booked a BMW X1, but was given a Ford Edge. Later found out that the Ford was not cleaned before handed to me. Also, the petrol tank was empty.

The staff had a very bad attitude

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.

The queue was very slow, and the car I got had issues.

Service was average, businesslike, and not very enthusiastic in solving issues.

My friend was driving and accidentally scratched a small part of the car's front right corner. There was no deformation, but the rental company still charged us 870 euros. Even with high labor costs in Europe, 870 euros is exorbitant. The charge should be reasonable; it feels like they took the opportunity to overcharge us.

When I received the car, the office worker told me that the Ford car will delivered instead of the Mercedes and that it had better specifications and said that she upgraded the car category but I was surprised that the car's specifications were much lower than my expectations. It has no rear seat conditioner or rear windows (we could not be open it) and no Rear cameras that now come as standard, but on the other hand the car was new and has good space .

Thank you

Terrible experience. We purchased the full supplementary insurance, but the staff claimed it wasn't valid in Germany and persuaded us to buy an additional 350 euro insurance. Their German-accented English was hard to understand.

Although we had some language barriers, their attitude was great and they were very patient.

Not many people, handled very quickly.
