    BIG SCAM ARTISTS!!…read more Absolutely unacceptable experience with Hertz in Zurich airport. I rented a car from Interlaken for just a few hours (Interlaken to Zurich airport. No issues were mentioned at pickup or drop-off (key dropbox). Then the next day, I was hit with a 550 CHF (~$700 USD) charge for a scratch I did NOT cause. They claim there was a tiny 1/2-inch scratch under the front right bumper. However, the pickup report already showed existing damage on the front bumper--so this could very well have been pre-existing. Hertz ignored that and blamed me anyway. Even worse, they provided NO clear before-and-after photo evidence proving I caused the damage. Despite disputing the charge, they still took my $700 money. This feels like a dishonest and predatory practice--charging customers without solid proof and hoping they won't fight it. Seems like this SCAM is happening many, many, many times over based on past reviews. Take photos and videos of EVERYTHING (especially under the bumpers) if you rent from here. What car doesn't have scratches underneath it!!??? I strongly recommend avoiding Hertz and using other companies like SIXT or Europcar or Misho Car rental instead.

    DO MOT RENT FROM HERE! They enjoy punishing US tourists!!!…read more We experienced the same "scam" that others have related in these reviews! Bogus preexisting minor body scratches and alloy wheel rim scuffs that we're not on the vehicle condition contract when departing However upon after hours drop off numerous "chargeable damage " scuffs less than 10 mm were annotated and charged $1680 US dollars to repair! Ridiculous cost and fabrication Rental was 8:29/25-9/1/25 only drove 128 miles total & never parked on a city street ! Sent my video airport departure evidence and was disregarded. Btw we did take the CDW/LDW hertz insurance but they said it did not cover those scratches or scuffs

    I have never had such a quick car rental experience! We were in and out in 5 minutes. My husband…read morehad prefilled information ahead of time, but still...... my experience with renting cars previously is that it takes forever. This car rental is located in the Zurich airport. The price is reasonable and we are even getting an automatic :) UPDATE: We Love our car. It only has 10k miles and smells brand new. It even has a sticker on window to allow us to drive on toll roads. I am loving tbis experience with this company

I was to pay $428.28 USD for the week when I picked up the car. There was no reference to payment in Swiss Francs. When I picked up the car in June, Europcar charged me 379 CHF (I now suspect the equivalent value of $428.12 of Swiss Francs in January 2025). That sum (379 CHF) converted to $479.93 because of the devalued dollar. Now, I can well understand having to pay in Swiss Francs if my contract called for payment in Swiss Francs, and I would have done so without a thought. But my contract was in US Dollars only; there was never a reference anywhere in the contract to Swiss Francs; and I never agreed to pay Swiss Francs. Both Europcar and I agreed in a binding contract for payment in USD of $428.12. Long story short, I was taken for $50 dollars. This is a relatively small amount, but it is the principal of the matter, and this speaks volumes about the character of this company. I expected Europcar to be something much more than an extremely small and petty enterprise. Very disappointed!

Luckily I purchased insurance through Expedia and my money was refunded. Today, 1 month after the return there is a $32 charge on my card from Enterprise, Zurich. I have no idea what it is for.

Like many other reviewers, I rented a vehicle from the Zurich airport location in May 2025. We returned the vehicle and were told everything looked great and our deposit would be returned. The deposit was returned and weeks later got an email with a blurry picture of a scratch saying they were going to charge me over $2000 USD and reversed my deposit return and attempted to make several other charges. I sent back the dozens of photos and videos I took of the car before and after I returned it and they simply said "that isn't enough". Keep in mind the blurry photo they sent didn't show anything or have any metadata confirming date/location etc. My bank is refusing to reverse it saying I willingly gave my credit card information to the rental car agency (shame on Citibank for this as well). I am now in the process of trying to collect other claimants who this has happened to and bringing it to the Swiss authorities. I already emailed SECO, Fedpol, econsumer.gov, FTC etc. If you look across review sites, this is a common scam by this Enterprise franchise. Please contact/message me if this has happened to you as I started a Google spreadsheet to hopefully connect the hundreds of people I see this has happened to to hopefully close this location down.

    Beware! Avis scammed me out of $4,000!…read more I rented a car for 3 weeks from Avis. I declined the ~$70 per day insurance. The car I was given was in very poor condition: lots of body damage, missing door seals making it very noisy on the highway. The agent told me that the car was in poor condition and not all the damage was logged and suggested that I could take pictures but it wasn't completely necessary because they were aware of the state of the car. It was very late in the evening and I was exhausted after a long day of travel so I foolishly didn't take any pictures. When I returned the car I was billed $4,000 for a variety of tiny dings around the car that were very clearly related to a variety of small incidents, no doubt over the lifetime of the car. I did appeal this. The appeal was denied on the basis that without pictures I couldn't prove that the damage was preexisting. I asked for any pictures of the car before I rented it so that I could show the damage _was_ preexisting, but was ignored. I also asked if the appeal staff could talk to the agents in Geneva familiar with the car. I was ignored again. Overall, I had a very sub-par car for my rental period and then was basically scammed out of $4,000. Needless to say that I will never rent from Avis again and I'd definitely recommend avoiding them.

We took insurance out just in case since we would not be there to protect our interested once we returned to the US. That brought the four day rental to a price of around 800.00. Yet to my surprise I was billed 2324.00 for that four day rental. I'll protest this via my card company, but it an example of the horrible customer service that Avis offers and how they will do anything to make money at the expense of their customers. I will not be a customer again.

    We rented two vehicles from Rentava during a recent trip to Europe. Our experience was on the whole…read morevery positive -- both vehicles worked well and the company was promptly responsive by email or WhatsApp throughout the trip to any questions we had. We were not initially aware of the extra mileage fee but ended up moving ahead with the rental as Rentava worked with us to establish what seemed like a fair price. Future renters should make careful note of the fact that damages to the vehicle lead to a standard deductible of 2000 CHF. If you pay for the all-round carefree package (which we did), the deductible is reduced to 500 CHF and waives damages to glass, tires, rims and loss of keys. In our case, we narrowly avoided another vehicle hurtling towards us on a narrow road in south of Switzerland by squeezing to the extreme edge of the road -- in so doing we grazed the guardrail and scratched the paint on the right front bumper of the vehicle. We were hopeful that in consideration of the circumstances leading to this damage (and their relatively minor extent) that Rentava would consider waiving or reducing the excess charge but we were charged the full 500 CHF excess. I reached out to Rentava after the amount was withdrawn from our account to ask for leniency but did not receive this. I confirmed the above policy with them. In consideration of this we would not choose to rent from Rentava again (notwithstanding an otherwise very positive experience) and would encourage future renters to be fully aware of this policy prior to renting from their agency.
