Absolute worthless broker, if you you fail to pickup your car within two hours from the agreed time they steal your money and they care less. not even if you wait in the hot sun with a baby. Absolute scum! You are warned!!

Booked a car 24 hours before collection, I wasn't sure about some of the terms on credit cards so I wanted to know I could cancel if needed. The booking part of the site said "free cancellation" . The terms I wanted to check were that the hertz website said a debit card was ok, but their terms said it wasn't- I still had a credit card in my maiden name, so I wanted to check it would be ok. Received no help from either Hertz or autoeurope, the latter gave me a number which was just for hertz accident reportibg. Other than that really unhelpful. I tried to cancel, believing I could, but I was informed that I had to cancel 48 hours before. Impossible when you book 24 hours before. Not made clear- where it says "free cancellation" there was no * or "before 48 hours" it's hidden in their terms. I ended up with no car and still charged the WHOLE AMOUNT! Disgusting.

This company is a fraud ! You book online through their website and they let you buy an insurance with no excesses, which is quite pricey. Once booked and you arrive at the terminal to get your car the agency tells you nothing is covered except for the body and even in that case vandalisms or another other cause that is not an accident with a clear guilty is exempted. You are then forced to pay 30 euro / day more which is doubling your rent. They say in the contract it's mentioned and the funny thing is that it says everything is included and then the opposite in a very little clause available only if you download a PDF of 14 pages. When you call them before booking obviously they don't answer and they give you no help afterwards. I am planning to open a procedure against them for lack of transparency towards the cunsumers. I highly discourage to go through them for your reservation

Very poor customer service in this difficult time. I have lost £150 for a car-hire that I was unable to take during the COVID lockdown. I have contacted the customer support numerous times and they simply point me to their T&Cs stating they can do nothing about it. Given that my travel has been rearranged for 1 year later, I was actually after a credit note to use again for the following year as has been arranged with many other travel oriented businesses, but alas this seems to be too much like customer service for Auto-Europe. Suffice to say that although I have found them to be good in the past, I have now lost so much money that their competitive rates are no longer attractive. Beware!

Shocking , Uncaring Shocking uncaring way to treat a long time loyal customer ! I rent for nearly 3 months every year in the Winter. This car developed a fault but they had no cars to replace it at Budget in Florida. I was without a car for 3 weeks, other customers arriving at the desk with prepaid vouchers also got no cars. No refund, no help. Next contract was shortened by 9 days due to Covid 19 and government forcing return flight home. Eventually Budget refunded $100 (£80) but I'm out of pocket by £495 for 30 days in total with no car. Weeks of hassle with phone calls and emails for it !! Avoid Budget and AutoEurope! vouchers UK5053455-1 and 5053432-1

Poor customer service, they sold me a service they shouldn't have done. i'm french living in DK and they offered me price for a non DK resident while I entered my home address in DK. When I came to counter agent, he said the contract of Autocrapeurope can't be used, and on top of that, they won't refund my purchase, so I paid for something I never get

We reached out to Auto Europe customer service because COVID-19 caused us to change our plans, and the agent was able to help us make the change requested without any delay.

This company are quick to offer cheap prices but BEWARE there are alway hidden costs that you miss. The combination of Auto Europe and Budget car hire should be avoided at all costs. You will regret it!!

Just had £240 taken from my account from firefly, thinking that auto Europe insurance would have covered the hire car insurance. Be very careful at the car hire desk in Alicante, they hide hidden costs until your back in the UK, then tell you, you should of read the hire agreement, when they speak to you in broken English at the desk your lost. Never hire a car of them again ,just going to use taxi's and busses. Beware of auto Europe and Firefly.

Advertise as not needing a credit card to collect then stuff you on additional insurance because you don’t have a credit card. £206.00 turned into £521.00. Then refuse a refund when you can’t afford the extra. Money saving exercise turned into a massive costly mistake.

Do not use this company, its a pure scam. You book a car upfront turn up the next day and there is no car available! They then refuse to refund your money. I have reported to bank and ombudsman. Stay clear!!!

AVOID,AVOID,AVOID!!!! The quote they gave doesn't reflect any hidden charges when you go to pick up your vehicle. Virtually no chance of a refund unless it's 48hrs before(which is no use when you're about to pick up the car and find a host of hidden charges that are going to cost a small fortune).

Scam! Booked and paid for a car which was never delivered. There was no car available at the pickup point, nor was there any reservation known. Auto Europe customer service didn't help and left me in the cold. Negotiated that I could hire a new car myself (not easy in Xmas season) and charge the price difference. When I claimed this price difference, they never responded. Now 3 emails reminders and 4 calls to customer service further, still no answer. Don't hire with them!
