Customer Ratings and Latest Reviews
Because we want to make sure each review listed here is left by a real customer, we don’t have the option to post a review here. Instead, we ask each and every customer to leave a review after they return their rental car. This way, you know that all reviews are authentic.
Pros: Close to train station
Cons: Upselling insurance
Cons: The Budget agent was rude, questioned my driving ability/experience with a manual, and tried to get me to pay more for an automatic car. He also tried to sell me their insurance as well. When I pointed out I had coverage through Discover Cars he literally said, "Good luck getting them to pay if anything happens"
Cons: Mirror was broken. I was not offered another car.
Cons: Unfriendly staff that 'forced' us to take an extra insurance. Feels like we didn't need that insurance (because we allreafy booked one) but now we had to pay an extra 500 euro's!!!!! Man at the desk took no time to explain anything and walked away after a very short briefing, without saying goodbye or anything. We where very disapointed and still think we paid way too much.
Pros: Thorough, but time-consuming.
