ACE is a terrible company. I will pay extra money to go with Europcar or others

Checking in a nightmare. Nearly two hours queuing at Bordeaux airport to do check in. Irate customers ended up in aggressive altercation with one of the desk staff, police were called to calm everything down. Our check in lady apologised and was helpful, but overall a ridiculous length of time to pick up a car. Dropping off was easier and customer service pleasant and efficient.

Easy to use

Pick up time to long

You need to speed up the pick up process

Waited over an hour, in a hot terminal, to pick up car. Staff said I needed extra insurance !! This was paid for up front, and they should have been made aware. Overall cost was £20 higher than original quote. On the plus side, car was upgraded to a new seat arona.

Easy to book, good communication

The car worked fine but was very heavily damaged (large dents and almost every panel was scratched or gouged) and only a 1.4 petrol so a bit under powered for a car the size I had requested.

Fine.

Not use again simply because on picking car up, we were told that we were not covered for anything on car unless we paid €188 for their insurance. I had paid extra when booking the car for initially for coverage. They told me at counter it doesn’t count and we would be charged for anything wrong on return of car. We opted not to take it but puts an amount of anxiety on you during by whole holiday.
