After the tire blew out, it took about 2 hours for the car rental company to answer the phone. The 24-hour roadside assistance hotline was called for half an hour, but neither the rental company nor the assistance service spoke good English. The replacement car provided by the rental company needed to be picked up in person, and the journey took more than an hour, wasting almost the entire day. I would suggest avoiding this company.
We rented from this company because it was the only one allowing cross-border travel. They charged a €96 cross-border fee but only provided a photocopy of the vehicle documents. At border crossings, some countries required the original, which led to lengthy explanations. The booking was for a 5 PM pickup, but we arrived early at around 12 PM. They didn’t allow an early pickup and asked us to wait. After waiting for three hours, they informed us the car was ready. They tried to sell us insurance but didn’t insist since we had full coverage through the rental platform. When returning the car, the front mudguard had a small white scratch, likely from another driver, and we were charged €180 for repairs. The rental location isn’t at the airport, so you have to call them to send a shuttle, which takes about 10 minutes to reach the airport.
From the moment I arrived at the rental company to return the car, I knew it was going to be trouble. The staff member, an Indian guy, took a large flashlight and started inspecting, claiming there was a scratch on the front bumper and asked me to provide the pick-up video. I said they should check their own footage, and after reviewing their video, they admitted the scratch was an old issue. Then they turned to the windshield, saying there were tiny sand marks. This is ridiculous—the car has 80,000 kilometers on it, and the video they took when handing the car over was so blurry that no damage could be discerned. Basically, if you don't buy their insurance, they'll look for reasons to charge you. I told them I had purchased comprehensive insurance on the platform and just asked them to proceed with the damage assessment and generate the bill. The staff member said it was too late to provide a quote and promised to send it via email the next morning. Four days after returning the car, there has been no update on the damage assessment. It's infuriating. I reported all these issues to Zuzuche, but they've been utterly unresponsive. They only sent a text saying I’ll be compensated about 80 yuan. What does this even cover? In conclusion, this company is nothing but fraudulent. It all boils down to the rental price being too cheap—a bait to lure you into booking, and then they push high-priced insurance or scam you on vehicle damage if you don't buy. Zuzuche, this is goodbye. Your platform is far inferior compared to others. I'm done with you.
Overall, the process was smooth. They didn't push insurance and proactively informed us that if issues arise, the store would deduct the deposit first, and individuals would handle claims with the car rental app later. The car pickup process was quite organized and straightforward.
