Budget desk lied

They won't accept any documents other than an international driver's license, and they refused to rent the car on the spot. Note: This review requires me to mention a specific car model, but I didn't actually get a car, so I had to select one. Once again, the car rental company refused to give me a car!

Took more than half an hour, and a long line formed behind. They went ahead and printed the contract, including a prepaid fuel tank, super cover, and all sorts of extras. Politely declined, but they wouldn't accept no. Finally, after some insistence, they still set the rental time according to the first contract.

The car was in good condition and the location was easy to find. The bill was clear and communication was smooth.

Good.

I wanted a fiat Panda but when I arrived after half an hour of waiting my at the desk was told there was only a Mercedes available for me at an extra cost of €40 per day.on top of that I was accusedtof causing scratches on the car of which I have absolutely no idea whether they were there before or after my rental. I certainly didn't collide with anyone. Either way I made an appeal and was told that depending on the appeal, they would take €400/500 out of my account in the event of repairing the car. I'm pretty sure from the scratches that were there visible you could possibly just clean them off, why the hundreds of euros is necessary I don't know, and furthermore from my own pocket is scandalous. This os just a rip off company who'll try to scam you out of every penny they can. Yes the car and location was nice but they customer service and hidden charges are just awful. Would not recommend to anyone. They won't be getting another penny out of me as I won't allow them to charge me for damage that has nothing to do with me. Especially considering I didn't even get the car I wanted in the first place.
