CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON BUCHBINDER IN MUNICH

We reserved a BMW X5 but they didn't have any available. They asked us to choose between an X4 and a manual Ford. The X4's trunk was too small and we specifically requested an automatic, so why would they offer us a manual? After we requested a free upgrade, they finally provided us with a 9-seater Mercedes bus. Within two days, the display showed an AdBlue alert, which confused us! Later, in Prague, our car window was smashed, and we couldn't reach customer service. They only have rental points in Germany. After much hassle, we exchanged the car at Munich airport for a smaller 7-seater Mercedes, which soon displayed an oil level warning. Absolutely terrible experience! I strongly advise against renting from this company. So many bad experiences!

The store location is very convenient, all rental companies are between T1 and T2, easy to find. Processing one customer is very slow, around 15-20 minutes... The service attitude is quite average... Arrived at the counter at 6:40 am, a blonde lady said my reservation was for 7 am, so I had to wait 20 minutes. 20 minutes later, I was told they didn't have the car I wanted, only large vehicles like VANS, and I had to wait another 20 minutes... During this time, I saw four local German-speaking customers all get their cars smoothly (three of them were alone and only one group was a pair). Maybe I was overthinking, but they could all be renting VANS??? When I had waited for the third 20 minutes and saw another Chinese couple being told the same thing while locals got their cars smoothly, I got a bit angry. I directly asked the blonde lady how to resolve this issue, then a higher-ranking brunette came out, checked my order, and I told her about my waiting process. She immediately said OK, she would give me a new car but with an extra charge. Since I had already waited for over an hour, I didn't want to wait any longer and agreed. When I went to the garage to pick up the car, I found that they did have the car I wanted... it was just that they were all relatively new?? I don’t understand, maybe they were reluctant to give us these cars? Thankfully, the car I got was indeed new, with only 20KM on it... I probably won't choose this company next time.

I requested an automatic transmission and waited for over an hour but didn't get one! I booked a compact luxury car but was given a lower-class Opel hatchback. The car was in very poor condition!

Lack of thoroughness.

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

The staff pushed the insurance. I remember saying I already bought insurance, but perhaps I didn't fully understand the staff's explanation, leading to unknowingly purchasing expensive insurance. A costly lesson—everyone should be cautious!

1) At Munich Airport, the staff marked the scratches on the car incorrectly, causing misunderstandings when returning the vehicle. 2) The working hours at Budapest airport are from 8:00 to 20:00. Our flight was at 9:20 in the morning, and we were pressed for time. We tried calling the return point the day before to ask if we could return the car a bit earlier, but couldn't get through after 18:00. 3) The car we got had an issue with the left rear tire pressure and the brakes were unstable.

The customer had paid the deposit, but the rental car customer service failed to promptly notify the car rental company of the flight information, resulting in no car being available. The service was very unsatisfactory and caused significant inconvenience to the customer. Ridiculous!
