Cheap Car Hire in France from $39

Appalling service and appalling company to deal with. I’ve rented cars from many different locations, and I’ve never ever dealt with such horrendous customer service. The original man serving me at pick up swindled me into a different car which was €300+ more expensive than the car I originally booked - deeming my original choice as “insufficient”. Upon driving on a highway in Paris (130km) the car came up with a warning about the tyres - when I stopped at the nearest service station to check the tyre pressure MULTIPLE tyres were close to flat.. Incredibly unsafe and should have been checked before letting someone take the car. The car itself wasn’t that tidy - with crumbs and dirt on the inside on collection. When trying to contact customer service via phone, I spent over 2 hours being hung up on and talking to multiple different people and receiving multiple different answers. The customer service team were trying to reach the rental location - during business hours for that specific branch - and were unable to contact them. So I’d continuously be hung up on instead of receiving any help whatsoever. The final man I spoke to told me there wasn’t anything he could do - and when I questioned him on whether that was appropriate customer service he retorted with “that’s not what I said” - yet he’d said it to me multiple times. When asking to speak to a manager or supervisor I was advised “that’s not going to happen”. I asked what time the supervisors would be in “I’m not telling you that because you aren’t able to speak to them anyway”. I then drove to the original location, just to be told that “yes of course I can return the car to a different location, it’s just €99..” which then became €140 because apparently it isn’t a set fee - “some days it may be €0, and some days it’s €180”… I’ve never ever ever had an experience of a rental company simply deciding on the day what they would charge for the different location drop off fee. All in all, the rental for 6 days ended up costing €800+ which is a far cry from the €349 (approx) I was quoted originally when booking… Absolutely shocking. The whole company are complete scammers and rip off artists who have no interest in providing any level of customer service.. they simply want to take your money and be done with it. I would never rent a car with these people again, and I will be letting everyone I know who is travelling abroad to avoid these people like the plague. Absolutely appalling service, I’ve already sent a formal complaint to their offices regarding everything because this is a disgusting way to treat paying clients.

I liked everything but the deposit

All good, slight anxiety where to drop off as I was leaving very early before office opened, but I worked it out.

I was unable to pick up car due to not having international drivers license STAMPED by the Embassy. I walked over to enterprise and rent it immediately

There were extras for going to Monaco and Italy border and also extra for insurance, above the fees. Otherwise highly recommend, great service, high safety if you leave something in the car.

Had to pay double what I was quoted as they said I had no insurance cover. Charged nearly double the price for tank of fuel I pre paid and was told was the same price as garages

GPS in the car was not reliable.

For the first time ever (re car hire) it was a quick, easy, Painless experience

Two main things: 1. Even though the site clearly says that the pick up is on the French side, nowhere it explains the implications of it. 2. I was renting a car in Geneva - Switzerland- but the car did not have the authorization to drive in highways of the country where the city is. What makes it worse is the fact that when asked where to buy, no one said that it could be purchased at the airport. So I now have a risk of being fined because I had to drive in Switzerland to buy what is needed.

Car did not match reservation - had to pay more for the car we received (hidden free). Upon return, had to pay additional hidden fees to have car cleared.. Expenses are one thing, but please have them expressed up front.

The staff were great for both pick up and drop off. It was the additional unexpected cost that we were not anticipating which brought the original cost from Kayak up significantly, we could have obtained a better quote from other sites.

They only had one of our 2 rental cars available. They had to use the first car to drive to a remote location to pick up a dirty 2nd car, then wait for it to be cleaned. The check in was painfully slow 20++ minutes. Would pay more to rent closer to the cruise ships!
