Disappointed to find that we were going to be charged for minor rim scratches. Please follow up

They claimed the car was in the same group, but it was much smaller than the MPV group I reserved through RentalCars. It was just a hatchback. Renting a large car in Austria is difficult. We had five people and a child seat, so it was really cramped. I bought full insurance through RentalCars, and they still tried to sell me additional insurance at pick-up. Moreover, three charges were made; though the first two might be authorizations, it's been several days since I returned the car, and they haven't been refunded yet. I initially wanted to give a negative review, but the return service was excellent. They even helped us get a taxi, so I’m giving three stars for now.

Picking up, using, and returning the car was very convenient. I recommend buying insurance at the rental location. I booked a Citroën but received an Opel, which was stable even at 160 km/h on the highway. The car had some scratches, but they informed me beforehand. I just handed over the keys when returning.

The car provided by the Vienna main train station branch had a chip in the windshield. It is irresponsible to assign such a vehicle with safety hazards to a customer renting for 11 days. As expected, the windshield began to crack after one day of driving, and it got progressively worse, forcing us to replace the car in Innsbruck. The replacement car had seat safety issues, causing a one-day delay in our entire trip.

The store is very close to both Innsbruck and Salzburg train stations, making pickup and drop-off very convenient. I booked a BMW X1, but it wasn't available, so I got a same-category BENZ instead, which was also very good to drive.

The Security Deposit for the car to hire was rediculous. 1000 euro was roughly $1600 AUD for me. This required me to shift money around on pickup to cover and i still haven’t received the funds back which is inconvenient currently for the rest of my trip where I need the $$$. I also checked over the car before leaving and lucky I did as there was damage on the roof which has not been documented from the previous rental driver. This was a near miss and I could easily have been slapped with the bill as a result.
