" The reservation was handled by Hertz. I. The rental voucher set a reservation of €700 on the credit card. An amount of €1020 was reserved during the rental. II. The value of the voucher was €145.73, an amount of €94.06 was deducted from the receipt. iii. An amount of €55.64 was charged as an additional location fee, which was not mentioned at the time of booking. IV. When verbally asked on delivery of the car about the cost of fuel (as it had done about 150km. since the last refueling) I was told that this is set at 30-40% more than the current price. Given that the price is around €1.80/lt. (upon delivery of the car in Germany) a price of up to €2.80/lt. is considered acceptable by me. The price I was charged was €5.76/lt. or a total of €95.12 for 16.5 liters of petrol. "

" I have stated everything above "
" 1. I am deeply disappointed with your Autoeurope company, because due to the strike on March 27, my flight was postponed 1 day later, and you forced me to cancel the reservation, while fined me 125 euros. It's unfair and it's obvious. 2. On March 28, THRIFTY gave me a car that broke down after 100 km. ADAC could not fix it and took the car on a tow truck. As a result, I was given another car. But I lost 1 day of my vacation. Outcome: Evaluate this situation for yourself and extrapolate to yourself, and then express your dissatisfaction with ordinary folk phrases. "

Be aware that these fees were sizeable, all above 50€ each. When I asked for more details or a reasonable explanation, they told me it was in the contract. I felt scammed. "

" I've rented maybe 50 cars from you over the years. I like Autoeurope.de. But I am not in love with you. I've had small problems like this one, and bigger ones with your rentals. I don't get very good support from you when a problem does occur. You focus on customer service. But I've learned that the rental car companies are your true customer, not me. I stay with you because usually the rental terms are clear and the rates are generally the best. Your service not so much. I've come to expect some surprise or little rip-off with every car I rent. I'll fight if it is too big. Otherwise, I just write it off. Rental car companies are basically crooks and most of the agents at the rental car counters are not very trustworthy. I never expect any real help from you on a rental problem. My feeling is that you are leanly staffed and have more important things to worry about than a problem a renter might have. I can't remember any occasion when you took my side. Usually, I just get a "form-letter" type email from you that tells me nothing of value. "
" The rental counter agent was very friendly and spoke excellent English. However, the reservation printout I received said I "accepted" all extra insurance when I accepted none since it was already included in my Supercover. He said that "accepted" means included. If so, the wording should have been "included", not "accepted". I got a double upgrade to a Ford S-Max -- a car that I am not familiar with. It turned out to be as big as a panzer. How am I supposed to park this car in a parking garage? Or drive it in small villages? Am I going to walk all the way back to the rental desk and start all over again to get a smaller car? No. I was under some time pressure. There was also an extra E53 charge for taking the car outside Germany. I saw this on my voucher but I never saw it when making the reservation. It only asked me if I would be taking the car outside Germany (we took the car to France and Luxembourg in addition to Germany). I feel this is nothing but a nuisance charge for the customer. The final charge on my credit card was more than E53 too -- it was more like E62. Maybe 19% VAT was added onto this. Who knows. Once they have your credit card, you are at their mercy. Am I going to fight with them over an extra E10? No. I've learned to accept this kind of nonsense from car rental companies. Of course, I got ripped off by Sicily By Car (Autoeurope.de) and got nowhere when I complained. Live and learn. "
