We believe we were DOWN graded as we ordered Peugeot 2008 and got Seat Arena. Really disappointing car. Also the seat belt buckle was not working properly. We thought of changing the route to replace the car but we found a work around solution. Also the car made some strange noises. Also the waiting time in at the pick-up was very long.

Picking up the car at Terminal 2E in Paris is convenient and quick.

We chose Hertz because we used it in the USA and had good experiences. This time, we booked a Renault. Initially, the staff said that since we didn’t provide our flight number, the car was still in the garage and suggested we take another car from the lot for an additional fee. We decided to wait for our booked Renault, which we had already fully paid for. The wait was not long, and the car was nearly new, diesel-powered, with good performance. Returning the car at the airport was very convenient with no delays. Highly recommended.

During return, the staff mentioned that the interior was not clean and there was sand. They asked for a 15 Euro cleaning fee or instructed us to go to a gas station to clean it before returning. There was no prior notice about this before renting, which felt quite unfair. Especially if you're rushing for a flight, you definitely can’t avoid the cleaning fee. Poor experience with this aspect of returning the car.

There was a customer in front of us, so we had to wait for a while. However, this seems to be the norm for French service.
