We had an un-refundable destination to get to and had to buy train tickets and take a five hour train to our hotel, arriving at midnight - and the fact that our plans weren't ruined was all due to our industriousness, not assistance from Hertz. I requested a refund for this reason, and was told it's the nature of cars to break down, and we still had the car for a day. They were willing to spend hours fighting me on a refund, but no time trying to resolve us being stranded at night due to their faulty vehicle. I plan to never rent from any Hertz again due to their awful customer service. What a turn off.

There was a small episode at the counter when I picked up the car. The staff asked for my passport. However, it wasn't mentioned in the online form. It was a hiking trip and I was afraid that I will lose my passport so I only brought my drivers licenses and a digital copy of passport. However, the lady at the counter didn't say that the copy would work. Maybe we communicated in English and it's not her first language, it took her a long time for her to ask for the digital copy and accept it. It was a much smoother experience the week before at Avis.

After returning the car at the destinations city, the receipt was emailed to me several days later and they shocked me by overcharging me about €150. Upon several emails to them, they just denied the request for a refund to me. I will never ever rent a car from Sixt again and I do not recommend them to anyone. Watch your pocket. Buyer, Beware.. If I could, I would give them zero stars, but that's not possible .

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.

Very bad experience with Sixt at Zurich Airport…read more I booked a car 3 weeks in advance, but when I arrived at the desk, I was told the car was not available. Instead, they offered me a bigger SUV, but only if I paid an extra 60 CHF per day, which I refused because I wanted the same price I originally booked or a similar vehicle without extra charges. Then they told me I would have to wait 3 hours for a similar car. I agreed, but after only 1 hour they called me back saying they found a "better car." When I returned, the car they offered was actually smaller and not even equivalent to what I originally booked. At that point, I lost trust and requested a full refund because this felt very misleading. The manager agreed and told me I would receive a refund confirmation email within 1 hour. However, it has now been over 7 hours and I have not received any confirmation. This is the worst car rental experience I have ever had. Poor communication, misleading information, and unfulfilled promises. I do not recommend Sixt Zurich Airport at all.

There was no one around, no nearby stores, and no traffic on the road. I checked the SOS function in the car, but it was not active. To my surprise, I also discovered that the vehicle had no spare tire, which could have resolved the issue immediately. I am unsure why no spare tire was provided, as this would have greatly alleviated the problem. Stranded on the roadside at approximately 1:00 am, I contacted the local police for assistance. Despite several attempts, I was unable to reach Europcar's customer service or the provided contact number (+41-044-8044646). Eventually, the police arranged for a tow truck. As a tourist unfamiliar with the area, it was extremely difficult to communicate with the driver and navigate the situation.

The invoice was in German and I signed it at the airport without looking after I was assured by the clerk that $31 is the total amount that would be added to my bill. Instead, the clerk added some alleged winter features which anyone would suppose to be included as a standard, since I rented the car in January in Switzerland and being charged for some "special " winter package is ridiculous. The pickup was not in a tropical destination. I'm still trying to get my money back with the help of American Express.
