The store at Charles de Gaulle Airport is very inefficient. One female staff member was inexperienced and spent half an hour assisting one customer, which caused us to wait nearly an hour and a half to pick up our car. The vehicle was in good condition, but returning the car was extremely inconvenient. The return process required us to park in the designated parking lot at the store, but the signage was very unclear. We spent over an hour driving around the airport to find the entrance. At one point, we mistakenly entered another parking area, so we went to the store to seek help from the staff, but they were very indifferent and refused to assist. They simply told me to resolve the issue with the parking lot myself. Eventually, I managed to handle it, but the overall experience was poor. Two years ago, I rented a car at Nice Airport in France, and while their efficiency was also not great, the service was better compared to Charles de Gaulle. For this reason, I strongly do not recommend domestic friends to rent a car from this company. Additionally, I had purchased comprehensive insurance, but during pick-up, they still tried to sell me insurance, claiming that their company system showed I only had basic insurance and that the comprehensive coverage was purchased through the platform's app. I refused, and thankfully, the app I booked through had provided tips about this beforehand.
During the rental period, the car key was stolen in a different city. The rental company demanded a 350-euro fine. Their internal processes were very slow, which delayed the delivery of the spare key. It took a full four days to send the key from Paris to Paris, delaying the return of the car. This caused the contract to expire before the car could be returned, and they charged a high extension fee of 129 euros per day for six days. Very unreliable.
We booked a Volvo XC60 but were given a BMW X3 ES RK. They said it was the same, and because our English isn't great, we didn’t ask if there were extra charges. Later, we found out there was an extra charge of 600 euros for our 59-day rental. Also, after driving 2,000 km, the screen showed a warning to replace the engine oil. I feel like they gave us a problematic car. This is the first time we’ve encountered this kind of situation, and it's really frustrating. We called three times but no one answered. When we emailed, they told us to visit the nearest Hertz branch to have the car replaced. At that time, we were in Norway, but the Hertz branch in Norway told us that since the car was rented in France, the issue had to be resolved with the French office. In the end, we just kept driving that car until this trip was over.
Had a very smooth and pleasant self-drive trip in Europe. Both pickup and return were on the 8th floor of Charles de Gaulle Terminal 1. The signs are very clear.
We believe we were DOWN graded as we ordered Peugeot 2008 and got Seat Arena. Really disappointing car. Also the seat belt buckle was not working properly. We thought of changing the route to replace the car but we found a work around solution. Also the car made some strange noises.
Also the waiting time in at the pick-up was very long.
