Hidden charges

Counter staff tried to pressure me to buy additional insurance which I had already purchased in the uk. I was also told that if the car broke down or I was involved in an accident there was no breakdown or recovery included in the rental. In her words ‘ you are on your own’. The car had a lot of dents and scratches and the interior was dirty. The woman in the pick up cabin was not interested in helping me to identify all of the damage on the car bodywork when I collect the car.

1,5 hours waiting to get the car at Bordeaux airport. No childseet was provided, allthough I booked it in advance. At dropping off the car, there was no inspection. Still after 3 hours I received an email to pay 260 Eur due to scratch on the car. That damage I did not do, this is unacceptable and I will take legal action.

Platform is ok.

Don’t know as couldn’t get one unless I paid 5 times the on-line price

ACE was dire. The pick up took over an hour. After a flight with a 6 month baby and a 5 year old, this was far too long to wait to get to the desk to be served. English was poor, and it was a battle to convince them of the insurance I had already paid for with AXA via Easyrent. They even tried to con us out of 20 Euros for petrol to fill up saying the nearest petrol station was over 30km away from the airport. I had been to the airport several times and the petrol station that was 5km away has always sufficed.

The car was excellent as was the pick up and delivery service. I was, however, disappointed at the 50 Euro penalty for filling up the fuel tank with very little fuel needed. As the car was returned 2 days early, I felt that the 50 Euros was excessive even though it was probably in the terms and conditions. Under these circumstances perhaps you might consider refunding part of the penalty.

Excellent service
