Due to travel delays I was inly able to arrive at the airport and pick up the car today, 26 May and not yesterday, 25 May as per my original booking. Unfortunately Alamo advised that we could not pick up the car today under that reservation and we would need a new one. They advised that I speak to AutoEurope directly as to the refund as they required me to make a new reservation with them directly. We did this and now have a car for the duration of the trip. Please advise what I need to do regarding my current booking voucher in progress ? Thank you kindly Suzanne "

" The booking experience on Auto Europe is always good. The experience with Klass Wagen was fine, just not the most pleasant if you are unaware of their practices. "
" I have some thoughts on Klass Wagen. First of all, the excess situation. In Europe this is common practice that you need to buy additional insurance to cover the excess. I had done so with an insurance company back home. So far so good. But when arriving at Klass Wagen they inform me that if I don't take their excess coverage they will not provide an additional vehicle if this one brakes down, they will not tow the car (I guess that can be overcome by being part of an automobile association), and they tell you to bring back the car fully washed!! The washing part was completely baffling to me as I have never heard of that this day and age. If you are on a tight schedule...I guess you are better off renting somewhere else. To be fair, if you'd rent directly from Klass Wagen they told me all is included (though at a higher rate than Auto Europe). Just know that renting via a 3rd party will have Klass Wagen apply the crazy policy onto your rental. As for the cost of this Klass Wagen insurance, it would've been almost 3x the price I paid on Auto Europe for the rental. The excess for the car we rented was set at €1700 and was (per usual for most rental agencies in Europe) blocked on my credit card. Still, it felt like they were trying to rob me with the excessive amount they would charge. So, we just kept the home country insurance, had the excess blocked on my credit card and washed the car before returning. Because of meticulously checking the car before taking if off the lot at the start of the trip, there was nothing they found. So for me, it ended well. Please note that if you would get the Auto Europe excess insurance, Klass Wagen will still tell you that you would be better off paying their excess fee. Beware and weigh your excess insurance options (including theirs) before renting. "

I want to make sure that it is understood that the staff and Klass Wagen were great and that I would definitely recommend them and that I would use them in the future.

" Almost missed my flight back because of this. I think Autoeurope should consider removing Sixt Bucharest "Airport" location from their offerings. "
" Sixt car return at the airport is located outside the airport. The airport signs directing towards car returns, direct to another location where other companies wisely located their lots. There are no signs or guidance towards the Sixt return lot. There was no answer on any of the Sixt provided contact phone number to ask where the lot is. Even if you are directed towards the correct location, there i only a single almost hidden sign, and the lot itself is behind several other lots and hard to reach. "

" They were very it efficient on check in. Many customers had problems and it looked like they didn't want to help at all if customers don't purchase extras and wasted a lot of time. The counter didn't have even basic conditions like toilet. On drop off - they charged for minor scratch on body work despite the fact that I have purchased voucher with zero excess. Moreover during the process of getting the car they told me that I am fully covered and shown me as an example to other customers , so that they will upgrade insurance on the spot. Car itself was 90000 km on the road. It had constantly falsely warned regarding low tire pressure - making the driver nervous. It had also a lot of scratches so it is quite weird to charge fully covered customer 200-300 Euros for minor scratch. "

" Outside Romania, I always had good experiences with Herz. However, in Romania Herz was a disaster for the 3rd year in a row. This time they tried to give me a damaged car - Opel Astra, licence plate B-95-WOM - rear of the vehicle damaged with broken tail light. I believe it was illegal to drive the car in such condition, not sure how Herz can even consider renting such a car. After refusing to accept the car they brought me a dirty Ford Focus. They said the car washing was closing. I noticed lots of cars in the parking lot and upon inquiring they said they were the next class of cars. I commented that normally in such situation Herz would offer an upgrade and maybe even a discount. They refused, basically saying take the dirty car or leave it. Absolutely disgraceful. Again, this is not a complaint about Herz, rather Herz Romania.... "

" Auto Europes customer service was not helpful when I called them to figure out why the rental company wanted to charge my card for excess when I booked zero excess. The person I spoke to had no answers, only said "ok, yeah it must be somewhere in the terms then". "
" Zero Excess was not Zero Excess, we had to block tires and glass damage was not included, the car (or similar category) was not available. Because of the winter time and expected snow I selected a mid size car, and opted for the Zero Excess option to not have to worry if for whatever reason I would have minor damages. On pickup the Payless employee let me know they did not have the car or a similar available and I got a Dacia Logan from a lower category. Then they wanted to charge my credit card with 300 Euro Excess. According to them the Zero Excess option was infact a refundable excess, and damage on tires and windows was not included. For that I had to get an additional insurance. According to Auto Europe this was ok as it showed in the terms and conditions that the Zero Excess option at Payless had an Excess of €300 and did not even cover all damages in that excess. They promised to replace our car the next day at our hotel, however the next day we called to check on when they would arrive and they told us they still did not have the car available as the current renter extended their lease. When informing about other cars that showed available on Auto Europe they stated they only had Dacia Logans, one Opel Astra and one Dacia Duster and if someone booked another car they just gave them a Dacia Logan. Eventually they changed our car after two days for an Opel Astra. So all in all Zero Excess was not Zero Excess, tires and glass damage was not included, the car (or similar category) was not available. Stay away. "

" Payless is the most serious company I rented from in Bucharest (I tried 3-4 more). The last 8-10 rentals I only used Payless. They wait for you at Arrivals or if you're late, you call, and they come to pick you up. They always offer additional insurance on top of AutoEurope but if you refuse that's OK. They're serious and polite. They could smile more but that's no problem :) I've recommended them to other people as-well. Always good experiences. "

" The rental experience was awful. The wait time took nearly an hour then there was no shuttle so I had to walk with my luggage to the pickup point. The vehicle they gave me was already very damaged including the windshield. The interior was filthy. The staff were so busy and by the time I got the vehicle it felt pointless to try to ask for a change and I especially didn't want to have to walk back and forth to the rental place again. Overall the pickup was one of the worst I've had. Turn in was a breeze but again no shuttle back to the terminals. "

" Good experience with AUTO EUROPE, but I would mention to my friends to be careful when renting cars from Hertz. "
" Despite the fact that the staff was friendly and helpful, the condition of the car disappointed me a lot. I was choosing to rent the automatic car with super cover insurance thinking that the cars rented by Hertz are almost new and to be protected against damages in case will happen. I was receiving a Toyota Auris with 91000 km, a dirty interior and with many scratches from accidents on the back side. Both left and right sides at the back bumper were scratched. The guy who made the paper marked them up accordingly, so no problem with that, but I was expecting something much better for the amount of money I have paid. On top of that, the car had WINTER TIRES in the middle of July, with outside temperature above 30 degrees. I was mentioning this to the guy , but he told me that are all season tires, which I saw not correct looking for the tires on the internet later. Luckly there were no problems during 18 days, but the handling of the car was not I was used to, most likely due to the tires. In the past I owned a Toyota Corolla and I know how the car brakes and reacts in the corners with good tires. So I was not feel safe in that car with my wife and 2 years old kid. The drop-off was smooth and I'm happy about how the procedures went, but totally dissapointed about condition of the car. I think it's totally not acceptable to have WINTER TYRES on a car in a very hot summer. "

" Because I have been travelling with my family and we needed space for our luggage, I have booked the car with the big boot: Skoda Octavia Estate. When we have arrived at Bucharest Payless Car Rental, we were told that there is no type of car according to our reservation. After more than an hour waiting we have been presented with smaller Opel Astra Sedan. We had to travell very uncomfortable, with our luggage in cockpit. Last week, after my coming back from holiday, I wrote a complaint to Auto Europe. I have not got any answer yet. "
" No type of car according to our reservation and long waiting in carpark. "
" Process was good. Little unclear on the locllayment for the drop off fee and how that was displayed and calculated, but was all visible enough and good enough to use you again to book our follow up booking in Slovenia. "
" The car was in horrible shape and had numerous issues. The Payless representative from the country/corporate team went on to lie to us, also requiring a multi hour detour to swap the car out, only to find out the replacement car was even worse and not as described. Still waiting for proper responses from them, and will be pursuing a full refund. Absolutely horrible company and experience. Only upside was their two local reps, who went out of their way to try and help, but their hands were tied by inventory and the condition of the vehicles. "
" Failing to provide a car {attempts lasted 6 hours to get a car which was road worthy) left to look for another car rental company. Rental and warranty charged/blocked and not yet returned/released. No courtesy to be taken back to terminal, left to go by taxi. After leaving Facebook note, told to get in touch with company's complains department. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE COMPANY CONTACTING THE CLIENT TO DISCUSS AND SOLVE!!! "

" They found us a car even though they didn't have the paperwork. "
" We were not informed about the one-way drop fee ahead of time. We were grateful for being reimbursed but it was still a hassle to deal with while trying to pick up our car. "
" We had an incident with the rental company where the guy tried to say there was a scratch on the car where there clearly was not when dropping off the car. The location where we initially picked the car up was very friendly and helpful and much better to work with. "
" It was a very big difference between the price initial, about 45 euros, and the final price, about 135 euros because of the taxes for Hungary. Despite both countries are EU members. "
" We are forced to not take the car because we didn't want a Dacia Logan and they have in the parking only this car. We initialy opted for a Ford Fiesta or similar. Because of this situation we have lost all the amount payed( about 45euros) , and we were forced to find another car from another car rent company. We have lost a lot of time, money and nervs. "
" I checked one-way pay is 50 euro. But off-line pay is 60 euro. There are different. Add, I quoted 125 euro but I want to pay Lei ( Romania money and rate 4.45 ) Actually they need 750 Lei. ( rate 6 ) I can not understand this situation. and other things are good. Finally, Auto Europe and Payless are different!. "

" I was asked to pay in the desk 10E as highway tax. and the guy try to exploit another 10E as "winter fee" which in the contract was written as a free obligation of the company to provide winter tyres. Moreover, in the contract the final amount was 20euros. I have payed 29 during the reservation and the guy told me that the 9E was the commission of auto europe. is this right? "
" It's always a surprise to discover how much the full insurance will cost when getting to the car rental - it would be very helpful if we could use this information when comparing your offers. "
" Service was unfriendly, the car had an error message, customer service was unhelpful and the full insurance amount was arbitrarily expensive. "
" Good "
" Extremely good experience. Their representative un Cluj is doing a very good job. "
" SATISFIED IF AUTO EUROPE WILL REFUND ME THE WHOLE AMOUNT (389 euro) red more about payless "
" ONLY ABOUT PAYLESS, otopeni airport, bucharest. (1) when I left the car there are only two very little scratches on the low side of the front bumber (maybe when I take the car, too little to be viewed!). they wanted 350 euro to change the WHOLE BUMPER ! I have some pictures of that, if auto europe need of that. 2) I have insurance with auto europe , so auto europe must refund me, but payless used an exchange rate very high (4,61 lei for 1 euro instead of 4,1.4,3 as usual in that time), so they take me 389 euro for a damage (they sied) of 350 euro. How much do auto europe refund me? 389 euro or 350? "
" The car was ok (but not cleaned). But during check-out time (sept. 14th-5 AM) we lost our airport parking ticket. The employee of the AUTONOM SERVICES SA required first 100 ? (!), later 75 ? and at least, after discussion with the cashier of the parking 50 RON (!) to compensate for the loss! We paid and afterwards we found the ticket again. Too late to discuss, because we had to check in our flight. Who said corruption????? I mean this is scandalous. "
" good price, you must advance fiance by visa or cash but refund when return car "
" The car had 106,000 km, no cruise control, the windshield wipers were very old and not working properly, and the remote control lock didn't work. I will NOT rent from Hertz Romania again. "
" The whole issue of car insurance is very deceptive, and we were sorry we had bought excess coverage from Auto Europe, because that didn't prevent the rental company from blocking a large sum on our credit card unless we bought the car insurance from them directly. When we said we had prepaid the coverage they acted as if they didn't know what we were talking about rather than explaining how it works. We feel like both companies profit from leaving it vague and confusing so that you end up double paying, making the rental much more expensive than you originally expect. "
" The rental was fine but the issue with insurance (listed above) made it much more expensive than we originally planned. "
" as always, whether in America or in Europe, we have been satisfied "
" good car, no problem..... HOWEVER For some reason I mentioned renting cars in the USA to the guy at HERTZ counter and he said: I don't like Americans !!! I told him "I am American" (a lie, I'm French), and he said "sorry", I said you must present apologies, sorry is not enough, and he told me: I apologize. Why does he work for HERTZ if he doesn't like Americans??? everyone thinks what they want, but that kind of remarks is UNBEARABLE. "
" They have no desk at the airport. I had to call the number from voucher and wait an hour before the car was delivered. All paper work was done at airport parking then. "
" fast, easy rentals. no problem at all. good choices for rental companies "
" I had to return the car two days earlier and surprisingly I did not get s refund. This is not the first time I rent a car and other companies refunded me anytime. But it is the last time I rent a car from this comoany. "
" The process was very long. But overall, the staff was nice. The car though was in very bad shape "
" I liked the van I rented. It worked very well. I was very disappointed when I was to pick up the van and I was told to pay an extra 150 euro tax for crossing the border. I didn't notice any information about this extra tax before making the payment online. After I made the payment, on the voucher was written about this tax. But, I felt I didn't have all the information clear before I made the payment online. I choose your company because you stated that you want your clients to know clearly what is included and what is not included in the rental. Unfortunately, this tax was not included in the rental but I didn't know until the day I picked up the car. "
" The car was not clean inside. After I picked it up I had to stop to a carwash place to clean it before I could use it. "
" process of return of the car the too long "
" Absolutely perfect very kind people and very good service "
" Absolutely perfect very kind people and very good service "
" Die Dame am Telefon beim Bestellen war sehr höflich! "
" Mir hat sehr gut gefallen, dass wir vom Flughafen abgeholt und wieder zurück gebracht worden sind! "
" All ok on Auto Europe's side. "
" I took the car with a broken light bulb. I had to pay myself for the repair and then sixt to pay me back - this part worked ok. The service partner sixt recommended in city Pitesti was very unprofessional - Amat Service Pitesti. "
" Receiving car was a bit of a hassle, luckily I was not in a rush. Drop-off was extremely smooth and the agent was extremely helpful. "
" We had to call Auto Europe (payless) and approx. 15 minutes later company representative met, picked us up ant together we went to car renting company. All paperwork were done serious and professionnell. Instead of booked car Skoda Octavia we got Citroen Combi as similar car. Was OK for us, Citroen offers more place for us 4 passengers. Were were satisfied with Auto Europe and will book them again. We could recommend Auto Europe. "

" I use autoeurope several times. I dont have any problem about Auto Europa "
" everything is very good. they support me very well. only problem is romanian roads. very terrible ones. "
" They were not there when we arrived even though we provided all our flight info. Our booking was not on their system and it took them 1 hour to get permission from "?" Even though i had the auto europe voucher. After All this we were given a very bashed up Ford Focus which took 30 min. To do body work damage check prior to leaving! When we returned the car they didn't want to give us a copy of the returned vehicle alleging the office was shut. ( we arrived at 4 pm. Very poor manners from all staff until we got firm with them and then they changed their attitude a bit! "
" I like Auto Europe services, I believe delivers a very professional service. In fact, when I travel abroad I rent cars only through your website. "
" We arrived half an hour in advance and Hertz desk people (otherwise nice) said they have our car still at the cleaning. They offer to upgrade 2 classes for 5+VAT and we got a Ford that was looking bad. Apparently had a number of accidents and the problems were not fixed, the car body had a lot of scratches including one of the lateral mirrors missing completely the box behind + other problems. The engine worked fine, was pleasant driving and the car was clean inside. "
" Payless gave us one of the worst car rental experiences we have ever had. The car was not checked properly before given to us. No brakes were in place. We had to waste half a day to fix that aside from the fact we were in danger most of our trip (with two little kids at the back!). On top of that, half of the lights stopped working during game the trip. In addition we had to wait for almost half an hour for the rep to come to the office (we arrived at 8:30 and he was there at 9). And then, while we almost miss our flight he started arguing with us for a notch of fuel missing of the fuel tank). Hope to never rent with them again. "
" I think Auto-Europe should try to find a better system to deal with the extra-insurance without having the rental companies requesting to block a large amount of funds from the credit card even when the client already paid for that with Auto-Europa, which was the case with this rental. This time Hertz blocked 900 Euros from my credit card and I had already opted with extra insurance. A shame. "
" I repeat what I wrote above. "
" Es hat eine Weile gedauert, einschließlich mehrerer Telefonate bis das Ergebnis reif wurde. Unnötig. "
" Rasches Erledigen der Angelegenheit, Mitarbeiter freundlich und entgegenkommend. "
" The plane has landed with 2 hours late in Bucharest, which is why I had to pay 30 Euros extra/ night fare/ for Hertz rent a car, although I announced them in advance by phone about this late! "
