Great company and the car was good. The only issue is the lack of transparency in the charges. I rented the car for an additional two days on-site, returning it on April 14. On the 16th, the originally reserved amount was charged. The extra two days were charged through two separate transactions the following month (one for over 600 USD and a refund of over 500 USD). Additionally, there was a 100 EUR prepayment on June 3. I don't understand why. Such arbitrary preauthorization abuse raises concerns about customer protection.
We had a car accident during our rental period, and because the car was damaged, we couldn't continue our journey. Caro sent a new car from Germany to a rural area in France, 1000 kilometers away, within a day. Their dedication is commendable. We were deeply moved and highly appreciate Caro's people-centric approach.
We also recognize that all the cars provided by this rental company are new Benz models, which is excellent!!!
The only downside is that the airport does not have a fixed pickup point, making it harder to find.
After arriving in Munich, we called CARO customer service from the Starbucks near customs. The customer service asked for our exact location at the airport and said an employee would pick us up since the office is a bit far from Munich Airport. We waited about 20 minutes for them to arrive. We booked a manual diesel Passat wagon or similar, but we got a Mercedes C180 wagon instead, likely because of the emissions scandal with VW. The car was very new, with less than 10,000 kilometers, and we were very satisfied. However, it was switched to a petrol car that runs on 95 octane, which made the fuel more expensive. The staff was very thorough during pickup, carefully noting all existing scratches on the car. The in-car navigation system was very convenient with English voice prompts, so no need to change settings (unlike our previous rental in France where the system was in French and we couldn't change it to English). The QEEQ navigation was slow in finding satellites, and some addresses were not found, so we relied on the car's GPS and Google Maps. During drop-off, we faced some issues because we aimed to reach the airport early for tax refund and shopping. We called the day before to arrange a 7 am drop-off, but the gas station near the office opened at 7 am. The prices were higher than the market rate, but we didn't need much fuel. After refueling, we returned to the office, but no one was there. We called again and were told someone would arrive in 7 minutes, but it took nearly half an hour for an employee to return from picking up another customer at the airport. He was short-staffed as his colleague didn't show up, so he called a friend to help. The return process was finished around 8 am, and he drove us to the airport in the rental car, unlike the shuttle bus used during pickup. If you are catching an early flight, allow extra time. Initially, we set the pickup time as 6:30 am and the drop-off at 1:30 pm, but the actual pickup was at 7:00 am, and we arrived for drop-off at 7:00 am but had to wait for service. We effectively lost a day of rental, but we were in a rush and didn't argue as they didn't even use a computer for the return process, relying on the printed documents from pickup.
