Initially, they gave me a Q3, which I said was too small, so they switched it to a Tiguan. They recommended I purchase insurance, but I declined. The car had minor scratches, so I recorded a video of the car beforehand. During the return, they did a simple check, walked around the car, and checked the fuel gauge, then said everything was fine, which was great. In the end, there were no additional charges.

Choosing a large company was definitely the right call. Initially, I was worried about various upsell services like insurance, based on online reviews. We were very cautious and asked many questions when reviewing the contract during pickup, but there were no hidden charges. All terms were clearly stated in the contract, such as a diesel surcharge of 3.57 euros per liter if the tank is not full upon return (which is very expensive, so make sure to return it full). The service was excellent. They held the car for us for half an hour past our scheduled time without charge and calculated the rental period based on our actual arrival time. We were also a few minutes late returning the car, but they didn’t charge us for overtime (which worried us for a long time, very touching indeed).

Great experience renting from you guys, Thanks for the good service. The only thing that can be improved is guidance to drop location and also the waiting time to return the vehicle.
