I rented a GOLF in auto transmission with a higher price but end the staffs offer me with a Mazda 2 in manual transmission. I was surprise and asked them that I thought I rented a GOLF in auto when booking but I was told by the staffs it is similar car. I said when I book online that time Mazda 2 or Hyundai i30 is cheaper than a GOLF. But the staffs told me that this is only similar car that they have so end up I they give me a Mazda 2 auto transmission.
I’m very big size so when I’m getting in or out from the Mazda 2 always will have some difficulties.
The car conditions was terrible as the engine check light indicator was on when I got the car and they told me is fine as it has been like this for awhile and after i drove for a feed day the water and tires indicator light on.
I’m quite disappointed and upsets that it was a totally different type of car that I booked and the condition of the cars was so terrible that I need to worry for my whole trips that will this car breakdown halfway.
I will definitely not to recommend any of my friends or book any car rental from this company again.

Is easy to use but it did not match the type of car that I booked.
1. They didn't note the original scratches on the car in the contract when we picked it up.
2. When we returned the car, they claimed one of the scratches was our fault and demanded at least 1000 euros for repairs.
3. They forced us to sign a contract agreeing to pay for the repairs, otherwise they wouldn't let us leave.
4. Initially, they said they would deduct the repair cost from our 18,000 euro deposit, but when we signed the compensation contract, they had already transferred the entire deposit to the rental company's account.
5. When we presented photos taken at the time of pickup as evidence, they kept delaying, saying the responsible staff had already left for the day. Eventually, we encountered two French girls having the same issue and arguing. Only because of their pressure did the staff finally call the manager. It was clear they were stalling because they knew we had a flight to catch, showing a lack of respect towards Asians.
Overall, this car rental company is terrible. Blacklisted forever.
The service at the car pick-up location was decent, and it took about 10 minutes for both picking up and dropping off the car.
The problem handling was unsatisfactory. The car’s air conditioner broke on a hot day. We could not reach them by phone during business hours, and had to email for help. The email response asked us to call their office, which then redirected us to call the car repair service. The repair hotline couldn't see our caller ID and couldn't text us the repair address. When we asked for an email, it took forever, and when we called again, they suddenly could see our number and texted us the address.
We had to visit the repair shop twice. The first visit they were too busy without an appointment, and the second visit after waiting for an hour, they told us they didn't have the necessary parts and advised us to endure until we returned the car.
Later, the rental company called and offered us a discount but couldn’t specify how much. At the airport, they claimed they'd never heard of any discount, and we had to email for assistance again. After insisting, they found a note from a colleague and gave us a one-day rental discount. Considering we rented the car for 13 days and endured the heat, the 0.76-day discount as compensation felt ridiculous and frustrating.
When picking up the car, they tried to push us into buying insurance, but I didn’t buy it. When returning the car, they were difficult and the service attitude was not very friendly.
Our car wasn’t available so we waited 2 hours for a car. When we dropped it off at the end of the trip, it took so long that I missed my flight home and was stuck in Iceland an extra night.
I purchased insurance before booking the car but then informed me that they would have a $2400 hold on my card if I did not purchase the $30 a day insurance. It was ridiculous. LONGGGG wait to pick up the car and waited forever to be picked up from the airport.
