Oui! I will write in English so I can express myself better.
1: I had planned to go to Alsace and Switzerland with that car, but had to turn around when in Alsace as the car was going all over the road due to the snow and slippery road... It was seriousely dangerous to drive... The car had Pirelli tires, and obviousely they were racing tires, which would have been great on dry surface, or even just rain.. But i am not psychic and didn't know it would be snowing the next day, Friday 22nd.
2: On the way back from Alsace, I had to go through Reims, and added another 225 kms, because the law in Luxembourg and Germany forbids you to drive without snow tires after October &st.. I wish someone at your office would have told me so at the time of pick up, and not the police of Luxembourg and Germany on the way down to Switzerland, whom told me to not go through their countries on the way back.. I spent 80 euros on peage, plus gas and 3 hours time, thank you..
3: I still had to go to Geneva, so I purchased a plane ticket, I figured it was much safer than risking getting kill on the snowy road, I hope you will understand my point of view on that matter. So on Monday 25th, I brought the car back to the airport.
4: Your technician checked the car and gas with me down at the return. I explained the situation and they said I needed to go upstairs to the counter, so I did. Wow, frankly, I am astonished by the way everything was handled from that moment... You want a definition of crook, please read below..
5: I explained the whole thing to the person behind the counter. There was no compassion whatsoever, and I am sure she could have care less if I would have crashed this car with me and my family on a snowy road somewhere..
So I said I cannot possibly ride that car to Switzerland, she offered to change the tires, and of course charge me for the extra 40 euros a day for those.. No thank you, at that time I had already purchased a plane ticket to go there alive, sorry. I was told it was my responsabilty to a) check the weather before I rent a car even coming from the USA b)inform them that I would be travelling in Luxembourg, Germany, France. I was told it wasn't their responsabilty to inform me that it would rain or snow in the next day or week, that in Luxembourg you cannot drive after October 1st without snow tires. Question? How many rentals out of your airport location in Bruxelles actually stay in Belgium? You honestly believe that ALL your rentals stay driving in Belgium.. WOW are you kidding me? It was ALL MY fault.. Finally she said you are good to go. I said thank you very much I just need my final receipt. So she said she could not print one to give me??! The technician didn't inspect the car yet! I was with her for ten minutes and of course the car has been inspected.. But obviousely giving me a receipt was not in the plan, for the following reason..
6: I got my new receipt, had to beg for my original receipt that I gave the girl when I returned the car, and compared both, to find out that they were of the same amount!!! Remember I rented the car for seven days, but used it only four.. I rent car often, and I always been charged for the number of days I used the car, at least until now, and I thought that it would be the same , especially after what happened to me on the way down to Alsace. But no, not with this company. I argue, in vain, and left with paying for seven days. If I didn't ask for my receipt? I would not have realized that I was being charged the seven days. Could you not just be honest and just say so??? This was disgusting!!
7:I decided to keep the car, I was paying for it so I might as well keep it for the next three days and return it at the end of the week rental. Then I thought I was dreaming, the girl told me -you have a plane ticket you don't need the car!!! WOW!!
To recap: You exist or existed because you have customers, like me, remeber, we pay your salary... If you speak to me in Flammish? I do not understand, and frankly this is very impolite, I speak French and English, that should be sufficient, no?? If you want charge me for seven days although i used the car four days, you should have had the honesty to let me know, REALLY!! If I am responsible for the weather, the driving law of the countries Luxembourg and Germany, that driving without snow tires is forbidden after October 1st, what are you getting paid for when I speak to you at the counter, besides putting my life and family in danger??
And finally, no Madam, your website did not tell me that I would be charged per week, because when I rented this car, the price changed with the number of days that you enter in the computer, you see you rent four days, pay four days, rent five, pay five, etc... so please don't take me for an idiot telling me that is not true.
OK you made 200 euros, by not accepting me to return the car early, but you lost me forever, and you gain this great revue that I will happily share on the internet. read more
