Overall, it was okay. The car was new, having just over 10,000 kilometers on it. The vehicle was in good condition. However, the customer service insisted on adding insurance when we picked up the car. We initially chose the secondary insurance, but they said German roads are narrow and that even if we didn't hit someone, others might hit us. We had to add an extra €198 for insurance. They also recommended more expensive cars like BMW, even though we repeatedly declined. This was quite uncomfortable. The car pickup process took almost two hours, likely because the rental company is small. It might be considered big in Germany. Returning the car took a long time as well since it was hard to find the return location. Most major rental companies are at the train station, but this company's prices were reasonable. In the US, we never encounter such issues. After landing, rental companies are inside the airport, and you can get the car quickly. Germany's process is slightly more complicated. However, returning the car was quick. After handing over the keys, they checked the car inside and out, including the fuel. It was a fast process. Thumbs up for that.
Terrible experience. We purchased the full supplementary insurance, but the staff claimed it wasn't valid in Germany and persuaded us to buy an additional 350 euro insurance. Their German-accented English was hard to understand.
I brought my driver's license and the free international driving permit translation certificate from Zuzuche, but I didn't get the German sworn translation certificate. As a result, the German car rental company required me to take full insurance or I wouldn't be able to rent the car. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to argue, so I ended up paying over 200 euros for insurance for 6 days while the car rental itself was just over 150 euros! Last time I used rentacars.com in Germany and paid directly on the website, then went to sign the contract and got the keys without anyone asking about the sworn translation certificate or insurance.
When I received the car, the office worker told me that the Ford car will delivered instead of the Mercedes and that it had better specifications and said that she upgraded the car category but I was surprised that the car's specifications were much lower than my expectations. It has no rear seat conditioner or rear windows (we could not be open it) and no Rear cameras that now come as standard, but on the other hand the car was new and has good space .
