CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON BUCHBINDER AT FRANKFURT AIRPORT, FRA

We were very satisfied with both the booking process and the car itself. The vehicle was exactly what we ordered and the price was reasonable.

Qeeq is the easy platform for car rental. Highly recommend.

Been switch car without notice that make very upset.

I arrived at the Global Drive rental office at 7:30 AM. There were two staff members present; one was assisting a customer while the other was doing nothing. I waited in the queue for about 20 minutes before the idle staff member attended to me.

An Asian staff member had a very bad attitude.

We rented a 7-seater van, but this rental company initially gave us a 9-seater without informing us beforehand. After spending a lot of effort locating the car, we found out it was a 9-seater. The vehicle was quite large, and we had never driven something that size before. We went back to the staff to request a replacement, but they said there were no 7-seaters available. We insisted on canceling the rental, and then they asked us to wait while they checked again. After about half an hour, they said they had found a 7-seater by chance. It wasn't until the end of our trip that we realized the 9-seater couldn't even fit into underground parking lots because of Germany's strict parking size regulations. Overall, we were not very impressed with this rental company.

Reasonable price!

The staff's attitude was quite average. The queue wasn't long, but the processing speed was relatively slow.

First, I want to thank the Zuzuche platform. Over the past few years, I have frequently used this platform to rent cars for my overseas trips. This review is about my car rental experience at Frankfurt Airport in Germany. Originally, I requested a Ford wagon considering the length of my luggage. However, after completing the procedures at Terminal 1 and heading to the underground parking, I found an Opel compact car instead. Their parking lot had many cars, including numerous Ford wagons as requested. There were no service personnel in the parking area, so I returned to the service desk to explain the situation. I insisted on the Ford wagon, but the customer service tried to increase the price. Unable to reach an agreement, I decided to cancel the rental and called Zuzuche in China. During this call, the service personnel then mentioned that a Ford wagon was available in Terminal 2. I immediately went there, completed the procedures, and found the car in the parking lot without any assistance. After inspecting the car, I noticed obvious scratches on the front and back bumpers. I took photos and went back to the service desk to report it. They said that if I provide the photos with time and location when returning the car, it would be fine. With this confirmation, I started my trip. However, during the return, they made an issue about the front scratches being recorded but not the rear ones. They asked me to send the photos to their email and noted the situation in German on the return document. After returning home, I sent the photos and details to their email. Soon after, I received a charge of 1000 Euros on my credit card, in addition to the 1000 Euro deposit taken during the rental. I felt scammed, especially considering a German rental company shouldn't rent out damaged cars, particularly when there were many other normal cars available. This happened in Frankfurt, which was very unexpected. Looking around, other rental companies had rented out most of their cars, while this company had many cars left in the garage. It clearly indicates issues with their business model. Currently, I have reported this to Zuzuche customer service, who are helping me recover the charges. I suggest not cooperating with such dishonest companies and ensuring the rights of domestic users renting cars abroad, as we trust Zuzuche to assist us when problems arise overseas.

I wanted to drive a Mercedes Vito but was disappointed. They gave me a bigger 9-seater Ford instead, which had more luggage space. It was acceptable!

Very good attitude

Waited in line for over an hour

The service staff were unfriendly to Chinese customers and their English was poor. They insisted we upgrade our car and pay extra to switch from a manual Ford Focus to an automatic, adding full insurance which cost over 320 euros.

The rental company is Global Drive.

I brought my driver's license and the free international driving permit translation certificate from Zuzuche, but I didn't get the German sworn translation certificate. As a result, the German car rental company required me to take full insurance or I wouldn't be able to rent the car. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to argue, so I ended up paying over 200 euros for insurance for 6 days while the car rental itself was just over 150 euros! Last time I used rentacars.com in Germany and paid directly on the website, then went to sign the contract and got the keys without anyone asking about the sworn translation certificate or insurance.

Quite patient, there were two staff members, and the queue time was not long.

For the past few years, I have been traveling to Germany and Switzerland every January. This is my second time renting a car at Frankfurt Airport. Buchbinder is located right inside the airport, making it easy to find. The staff were very nice throughout the process. Picking up the car from the garage was convenient, and the car was new and well-equipped. Everyone was very satisfied!

Almost no waiting in line, and when they tried to upsell insurance, they were fine when we told them we had already bought it elsewhere.

Service staff recommended purchasing unnecessary products

Pretty good
