  • How to recognize an EX-carsharing vehicle

    Two weeks ago I bought a Ford Fiesta from a Ford dealer from the district of Offenbach/Main (MK7, EZ 11.2014, 6.5tkm). The vehicle was registered with this Ford dealer from 11.2014 until 01.12.2015. I bought the car at a comparable very good price with absolutely desired equipment. The car received a Dekra-HU and an inspection with oil change before the delivery. Visually, the car had no traces of use. During the sales interview the car was presented to me orally as a demonstration car. In the written purchase contract no reference to a previous use as a rental car or taxi. So far everything is great. But now I have seen by chance on the Internet that this dealer offers Ford Car-Sharing. Now I have concerns that I have here due to the low annual running performance and the outrageously favorable price (approx. 1.000 to 1,500 Euro less than the average market price), an ex-car sharing vehicle was undercrowded. Can someone please tell me how to recognize an ex-car sharing vehicle? Thank you.

  • Never again Europcar!

    Hello! I had rented a small car for Tenerife for 7 days via Easyjet two months before the start of the trip for 162.95 €. On arrival we were immediately informed at the Europcar counter that in the ordered category no vehicle would be available. For 17 euro more however we could have a new Renault Clio with automatic. That the ill-English speaking lady among 19 euro per day meant, came out only after the holiday on the final invoice. e us with all means a comprehensive insurance for 190,- swat up (“otherwise it could be very expensive for you”. In the end she asked us to give them a positive rating on the landlord portal (“It is very important for me” In the rest of the case the Clio of course had no automatic, it was a quite normal switchcar. However, because we did not want to miss the ferry to Gomera, we did not complain any more. It seems – at least with the big landlords – now usual too be that with reference to unfortunately not existing vehicles is pushed massively to an upgrade. On Lanzarote, however, I have had best experiences with a small local car rental. kazper

  • Correct behavior of Europcar? -> Didn’t get a signature that the car was okay.

    Hello! When I left my rental car with Europcar today, the employee didn’t want to make a return protocol and even said that he could do it, but he won’t bring me anything if his colleague finds something tomorrow morning. Great if such an asshole damages the car overnight (the cars are easily accessible and surrounded only by a building fence, are standing directly at the fence), should I stand for it?! Is this behavior correct? notting

  • Sixt is promoting 7000 euros of me for damaged cars. Is that right? What to do?

    Hello! I want to apologize first for my bad German. I am an exchange student from Sweden. I rented a car from Sixt before a few weeks ago. Everything had gone very quickly and not thought through and I left Sixt without insurance. Completely idiotic, I know! Of course I have damaged the car… Here you can see pictures of the damage: (edit: In the survey report, there are more pictures)http://imgur.com/emZdQUhhttp://imgur.com/XK7zL5Whttp://imgur. com/ClBqhjPhttp://imgur.com/bPykBBi Sixt now wanted to have 7000 euro from me, is that appropriate? I don’t know how much about this but it sounds like much for me. They also support 79 euro per day for “loss of income” and that for a car that costs 31 euro per day (50 with insurance). What to do? Here you can see the complete inspection log and the invoice:http://docdro.id/IgCenfuhttps://www.docdroid.net/sTim2Qd/document-schwrzung.pdf.html#page=2

  • Sixt damage despite inspection with employees

    Hello together, on 27.7. I had rented a transporter from Sixt for 5 hours. The vehicle had already a 2 page fault list and at the first inspection I noticed 2 new damages. When I returned the vehicle (sunny weather, no rain) I checked the car with an employee for damage. We checked it externally as well as the interior and cargo space. When the employee could not detect any damage I confirmed this in writing. Some days later, the first e-mail of the damage control came that I caused 2 damage in the cargo space as well as at the passenger door. I informed them in the online form that I took a look through with the employee and that my passengers can confirm as witnesses that no damage occurred during the trip. After that, there was a month’s rest. Now, I received an e-mail from the owner. I have now sent them confirmation by e-mail that no damage has been detected in return and that I will turn on a lawyer. Is this all so right? Can Sixt just charge me for damage despite written confirmation? Have you had similar experiences? Is this possible? Is this possible? Is this possible? Is this possible?

  • With your car or your own car in the holiday road trip?

    In a few weeks I will be travelling with my partner to Tuscany, from Bavaria, for about 10 days. And now I have the serious question of whether I can get a suitable SIXT car in Munich or with my 2019 CLS 450 petroler the approx. 2,000 km round trip. With a roughly calculated consumption of 9 liters per 100 km this would be around 340 EUR for petrol, which always comes up. However, one calculates at least 50 ct. per km for petrol, wear, loss of value etc. (will It’s probably not enough). So if I deduct the petrol from approx. 1,000 EUR driving costs, still 660 EUR remain for the “other costs”. I actually get a rental car for the time… and if I expect that with my car each km costs more 60 or 70 ct., then we are already in the plus with the rental car. I just shy away from driving the km stand so high, he currently has about 60,000 km on it. How do you see that? VG Daniel

  • Is a hybrid plugin worth it for me?

    Hello, I’m looking for a transition car so for a maximum of 6 months since I wanted to wait with a used car purchase only to save something. I have several questions that I will ask therefore I explain briefly my situation. Overall we are 4 persons so I and My wife and 2 small children both 1 year old. With the car currently a work path back and forth of about 16 KM is put back and forth so 8Km back and forth. That happens then 6 days the Where Sometimes I drive a little bit more for shopping a month or so in principle I often have short distances in town and sometimes highway. I have chosen the Ford Kuga Hybrid 2.5 plugin for price performance, which would cost me 379 a month with which I should drive about 750 KM a month. I have to mention that I have never had an electric car already not a hybrid and therefore I know myself there 0 Therefore I ask understanding for one or other layman. n ask who I am now: -How long does the charge last and where do I see how much I pay for the electricity? -What if the battery is empty I have no electricity in the car? -Should you pay attention to what when charging electrically? -Can you charge the Ford Kuga on every charging column? -Can you also drive with the car on holiday? Speak 600 KM drive or is it not intended for this I drive an old E46 BMW 316ti from 2005 and the consumption gasoline E10 9.3 liter/100KM would be the It’s worth it for me from refueling or rather not. Do you have other cars that you recommend to me, however, at the same price approximately.

  • AV dream cars Munich

    I took note of the contributions about this dubious AV. On 9.7.2011 I rented with a couple of friends a 966 he for 3 hours. The car was in a desolate condition (leakage knocked out, braking effect severely restricted). The landlord had not come to accept the car (!) telephone was agreed to deposit the key at a hotel reception. So far so good – bad however, after a few days were 2500,.€ off my account . 1500 € as a so-called deposit – which was not transferred back to me and additionally 1000,-€ for which the landlord was not authorized. Yesterday then came an invoice about an alleged drive damage in the amount of exactly 5634,69€ !!!! Just again something to do for the Advocates. So people : FINGER WEG and better go to a serious AV

  • Customer service and Europcar – 2 worlds meet

    Hello dear people, I don’t know if it belongs here (and I don’t know if I’m allowed to do that, dear Mods) but I feel moved to point out the car world to the most pathetic customer service since the invention of the rental car and to write to myself which company you better not take any more soon, if you need a rental car again. Since my friend moved to my Ruhr area at this WE, we had to borrow a moving car and with We had already reserved a sprinter 2 months in advance. On that day we also wanted to pick up this vehicle at the above-mentioned company. In glad expectation in the Böblinger Europcar branch, unfortunately, we were informed there (not before by phone but at the counter) that neither the reserved or any other sprinter would be available in the Stuttgart area. Point out. Well, bad luck… Alternatively, we were offered a 7.5t for this. If you know the parking conditions in Rüttenscheid, you already know how much we were looking forward to going with such a Eumel through the uncleaned roads parked on 2m through the road width, that even garbage collection and flute man actually only bend through here under permanent hoops and in the company of the Ordnungsamt. Of course everything was already meticulously planned. So we bit into the sour apple and took the small load R. GsD still has the old class 3 driver’s license The Trulla am Thresen gave us the car with about 4/5 full tank with the statement that this is always like this, because the tank trunk says “Stop”. We also made the same experience on the train from SA to SO from Cologne on the night. Until Cologne and the ice sheets and snow heaps on the A3 and A52 appeared behind it, the cucumber shop was even fun, even though thanks to the 90s-tacho-limiting nature We had to park the car in a nearby supermarket parking lot, because we had previously not locked 3 but only 1 parking box. After a lot of fun digging out the car, shunting, and millimetre parking (front 5!cm to the poller in the back the loading ramp just passed the last branches of a hedge) we unloaded the thing, refueled it and drove to Europcar. There was a “fr “Lord, to whom one already noticed how glad he was about the fact that in his (definitely otherwise only occupied with 4-6 cars) car rental branch he gets a 7.5t in the hand. After the usual formalities also the fuel level was naturally checked with the result that of course it is not completely complete. We said that we had been handed over the car so and had filled it accordingly according to instructions. But he again said that we a) ni It could really fill up (which probably is true, but that was agreed, because the predecessor could not fill up already anyway), because you never have to refuel the thing on a tank stop but on “sight” (aha, nice, that HE knows that so exactly, unfortunately the BBlers did not, because we have said something else) and that there is certainly still 5-10 liters missing. In the further course of the conversation then at some point already 10-15l and that we should drive again to the tank and d I told him that we took over the car with the corresponding tank instructions so in Böblingen, that we did not even want THIS car, which WE alone through the slutting of Europcar certainly had on our part 30€ extra costs by more fuel consumption (because he swallows away more than a sprinter) and offered him the ” He didn’t care about everything. On the contrary: he thought that we didn’t have to take the thing. SUPER TIP! He repeated in his bored above-teacher sound that refueling costs 3.39€/l and that we would then get a bill for the approx. 15-20!!l. Moreover, he indirectly accused us of lying because he meant that literally: “inconsistency” with the agreement in BB could tell him (and d d As in the tone: “you can tell your grandmother…”. Unfortunately I came up with the idea with reserve cans only afterwards, otherwise I would have offered him to fill the thing with a spare canister up to the OK tank lid, until the shit soup like me runs over his fingers. We then told him that WE will then clarify this with the branch in Böblingen, because he obviously neither mentally nor physically (or as the footballer says: neither me nor me) ndtal still psychic ) was able to thank us for his “cooperation readiness” and then are home. To be honest, I am on the 15, 35 or 65€, whatever he now also writes on the bill, but I have not yet experienced such a stubborn and less customer-oriented behavior. Btw: the tank cover was already full of diesel even on the first refuelling. Who tells me that this Sch.. lid was not leaking and the missing 5l there at the first For me, this smeary chairfur..he definitely had no idea to bug the giant box from his way too small. For me, after this near death experience, there are two premises: firstly: it is good that the driver’s licenses are now divided differently and not every Hansel can drive with such a cart anymore because if you drive such a thing for the first time, it is really a conversion second: this is definitely the last time that I have rented something from Europcar. I will mention the goat bear man with the rescue ring approach in the Essen branch (the one at the Schützenbahn; I probably can’t write the name of the Lord here, but I’d like to!) in any case in the further negotiations again “lauding”, so much is certain. Well, he is probably just a little sausage, which does its service in her branch according to regulations, but honestly is d The loading area was of course max. 1/4 full and we have already considered whether we can put in some empty boxes as a filler, so that the junk inside can not slide back and forth in such a way.Not that we would have needed even the more cargo capacity.
