Rip offs

We had to Rent cars for the whole month of february,
we usually go with "buchbinder" and paid 180 euro a week.
Well buchbinder doesnt have a drop off at the Frankfurt Airport,
so we had to go with Sixt in ramstein.
We told them we need a car to fit 4 ppl +luggage & carry ons
in the car. They said its 220 euro a week. I thought thats A LOT
of money but we had no choice. A few days later, T went to
Sixt Ramstein to get the car.
He ended up paying 220euro for the car + 40 euro "insurance"
{eventho that insurance is pointless since its a 1000 euro deductible,
and we would have to pay scratched etc our selves anyway. On top of THAT they charged us 100 euro "in case we dont fill up the car when we drop it off"
They want to refund us 3-5 days AFTER the drop off, BUT we will be gone
by then, and they can just claim some kind of BS, and we cant prove anything.
WELL, today was the first time ive actually seen the car, tom went and
picked it up by himself and got home so late last night we didnt
go anywhere. ITS A DAMN CITROEN PICASSO, the trunk is barely big enough
to fit ONE suitcase!!!!!. After i bitched about it for close to 20 minutes
{poor husband} he called Sixt and they said this car is an "upgrade" from the
one we were actually supposed to get, YEAH RIGHT... MY ASS...
They told us they have a bigger car for us and we can switch but its an extra 100
euro on top of this. so we basically pay 460 euro for ONE week.
we cant keep this one because we wont be able to fit ANYTHING
in it...
i am so over all of this, and cant wait to get the heck out of here!

  1. That REALLY stinks!!! just make sure to take pictures on the day you drop it off and make sure they SEE the car WHILE you're there and write a letter that says:
    We received the car back without any damage and a full tank.... let them sign it and tell them to give you the money back in cash... stupid rental companies :( i am so sorry they are giving you a hard time! What kind of car did you receive now?
