RENTED A CAR THROUGH AUTO EUROPE AND…

RENTED A CAR THROUGH AUTO EUROPE AND WAS OVERCHARGED BY 1,106 EUR!

I rented a car through Auto Europe for 4 days and paid full rental price of 141 EUR at the booking time. I signed the agreement when I picked up the car at Budget rental agency at the airport of Toulouse - Blagnac, which mentioned no other fees except for 141 EUR that I had already paid. I returned the car as agreed – undamaged and with full tank. The car was inspected by a Budget representative and the contract was closed in my presence with no incident or discussion of additional fees due.

Two days AFTER the contract was closed I discovered I was charged an additional 1106,86 EUR by Avis (??) without my knowledge or authorization! In fact, I discovered the fees when looking through my bank statement.

I spent hours on the phone with Budget and contacted Auto Europe trying to determine where these charges came from. At first Budget assured me that the charges were a mistake and that I would get a refund by the end of the week. Later they referred me to Auto Europe Customer Service and closed my case with no resolution. They did, however, send me a copy of my supposed “agreement”, which appeared to have been modified and looked completely different from the one I had signed at pickup.

It’s now been over 2 weeks and at least 4 hours spent with Customer Service of Budget and Auto Europe. Neither of them has taken responsibility for the error or could explain where the charges came from. I still haven’t received a refund, nor a response from AutoEurope Customer Service! I am spending my vacation trying to figure out this outrageous mess!!!

I rented a car to pick up at Faro…

I rented a car to pick up at Faro airport. Unfortunately my flight was slightly delayed, causing me to arrive 10 minutes late to pick up the car.

Result: I did not get the car, and I did not get a refund because it is mentioned in their terms and conditions that no refunds are given if the customer is late. I paid for a whole week of a car rental which I didn't even see!

Atrocious, avoid at all costs. Here is the relevant part from the terms and conditions:

"No modifications can be made after pick-up time: no extensions of the rental duration, no refund of unused voucher days if car is picked up late or returned early."

I checked with the competing car rental companies Hertz, Avis and Sixt and all of them have a condition that a processing fee needs to be paid if a customer is late. This sounds reasonable. Having to pay the full amount and not getting the car is NOT reasonable!

Reliable Service

I have been renting cars with Auto Europe for a while now, and the service has always been very smooth and satisfying. I almost always found the lowest price in Auto Europe. I could really trust this company

Competitive Prices and Reliable Service!

Auto Europe is consistently the best way to go when renting a car. Competitive prices and reliable service! Another plus point is that Auto Europe only charges a minimal fee (usually just a few Euros more) for comprehensive rates that include complete coverage and a refund for any deductible.

Rent at Casablanca Airport (CMN)

Rent at Casablanca Airport (CMN), Morocco via Global (Rabat via Meet & Greet Outside Central Exit)
Wrong Terminal Exit was stated on the booking page.
Had to call the agency to find the person waiting for me.
The employees were friendly and I had no problems. Car was fine (Dacia Logan, Diesel, Cruise control, Aux-In, USB).
Car was in good condition. All previous scratches were marked in the contract. Interior was a little worn but not relevant for the company.
Return was no problem at about 22h.
