The gentleman at the counter was not very friendly. He couldn’t figure out how we could use our digital credit card. He then assumed we weren’t a married couple and tried to charge us an extra $13 a day to use my physical credit card. We decided we didn’t want to spend the extra $13 a day. He then mentioned spouses can be added free. When we asked to then put it on the credit card card instead of of the debit card card he said he couldn’t do that until we returned the car. It was just a very unpleasant experience.Reviewed 11 Jun 2026

Great car, very crowded pickup - drop off was smooth. Totally useless with clarifying costs, charge whatever they want at the end. Scammed us on fuel, make sure you get fuel and fill up your tank... Due to my poor research, I didn't realize. I'm out 100 euroes when it would have cost 25 to fill the tank to full.Reviewed 9 Jun 2026
