Very satisfied. After reading some reviews mentioning aggressive insurance upselling, I was a bit worried. However, the rental company only asked once, and when I declined, that was it. Their attitude during both pickup and drop-off was great. Only a 200-euro deposit was required, and just one card for the guarantee. The car itself was quite new with only 9,000 kilometers, easy to drive, and overall excellent.
First of all, I am very angry with the rental company's tactics, using inappropriate methods to force us to cancel the order and require us to upgrade the rental at a higher cost. However, I am very grateful to Zuzuche for intervening and protecting our rights.
Pickup was convenient; Budget and Avis operate as one company now, using electronic receipts, so you can grab the keys and go. The car was relatively new, with a mileage of over 10,000 kilometers. It was a hybrid, possibly due to environmental restrictions in large cities. However, the transmission had issues, as it sometimes wouldn’t shift beyond third or fourth gear on the highway.
When I first picked up the car, the vehicle provided didn't match my reservation. Although this was understandable, it indirectly led to issues later. I was given a seven-seater vehicle instead of the five-seater with a large trunk I had originally booked. The staff suggested that I could fold down the rear seats to create more trunk space, which I accepted. However, problems arose during the return process. I feel this may have been due to individual actions by their staff, and I am simply stating the facts. When I returned the car on time, the staff member immediately took the keys and began inspecting the vehicle. Upon opening the trunk, they realized I had folded down the rear seats to use as trunk space. The staff tried to unfold the right rear seat for inspection but handled it too forcefully and ended up damaging it.
The car's electronic start and Bluetooth were not working properly. When picking up the car, there were some paint damages on it. I asked the rental company staff whether I should take photos, and I was told it wasn't necessary; I just needed to show them upon return (confirmed this with two different staff members). However, during the return process, the staff said that these damages should have been reported via email at the time of pickup, not during return. I later discovered that the rental company had written the email and phone number incorrectly on the contract. To avoid potential issues, I sent an email to the company, but it took several days to get a reply, and the issue of updating the incorrect information wasn't addressed.
We already purchased insurance through Zuzuche, which includes coverage for Andorra and Portugal. Why are we being forced to buy an additional 530 Euro insurance?
