First time hiring a car from Locauto, and it was a breeze, it's a short walk from the terminal (a few minutes) and they share a building with all of the other car rental companies.
Walk up, show them my driving license and booking reference, buy the extra breakdown cover and I had the key in my hand. Locauto is the closest parking lot to the rental car building too, which is a bonus. We walked across and quickly identified my car, the gentleman walked round with us, and we marked off different marks and scratches on the car and once signed, the report was emailed to me.
The car itself was clean, didn't smell and perfect for our needs. Didn't have any troubles with it at all during the trip (except maybe for finding the fuel cap release - Volkswagen, please put them all in the same location!).
Returning the car was easy, drive in, empty it of your things and then run through the car with the guy, pretty much the same as anywhere else in the world. A real breeze.
Just a tip though, I returned the car on Sunday, it seems that all the petrol stations are unmanned on this day and have an automatic payment system. This works either by cash or credit card, and it provides NO change. I fed in a €10 note and needed €8 of petrol thankfully... Also don't panic when you're doing it. Every time I pressed a button it seemed to shut off and reset, but in fact it's just thinking and takes about 10-15 seconds to acknowledge anything, choose payment type, wait, put the money in, wait, acknowledge you put the money in, wait, choose your pump, wait, go and fill up. read more
