The staff didn't seem friendly or proactive. When I asked why the car differed from my reservation, they responded that they didn't know because I booked online.
Not bad, got a free car upgrade, the car was quite new. The insurance was a bit expensive, $21 per day for full coverage, but it was more convenient than third-party options.
Buchbinder is extremely dishonest and even fraudulent. First, I refueled the car at a gas station within 2 kilometers from the return site, spending 55.63 euros (automatic shut-off). 2-3 minutes later, I returned the car. The staff checked the gauge and car condition without mentioning any issues and let me leave after I signed. After returning home, I was charged for 1/8 tank of fuel and repairs for scratches on the front underbody! The fuel charge is outright Buchbinder's shameless fraud! Additionally, the underbody scratches (not the front, you have to lie down to see them) were brought up afterwards, making it impossible for me to defend myself. I cannot determine if it was caused by stones or already existed before. Fortunately, they didn't claim for tire wear as well. However, the inspector did not mention this during the inspection. The worst part is they filled in car damage details on the blank signed inspection form afterwards and shamelessly claimed it was verified by my signature. I can't believe a European company can be so unethical and shameless! Had I known, I would have bought the full insurance they pushed hard during pickup to avoid the deductible loophole. Can you imagine such a shameless company? I've rented cars abroad more than 20 times, and this is the first time encountering such an infuriatingly shameless company. Even if it costs ten times more, I would want to take them to court!
1) At Munich Airport, the staff marked the scratches on the car incorrectly, causing misunderstandings when returning the vehicle. 2) The working hours at Budapest airport are from 8:00 to 20:00. Our flight was at 9:20 in the morning, and we were pressed for time. We tried calling the return point the day before to ask if we could return the car a bit earlier, but couldn't get through after 18:00. 3) The car we got had an issue with the left rear tire pressure and the brakes were unstable.
