EXPRESS - Warsaw - Chopin Airport Information, Car Rental Instructions & Policies

The Express car rental office in Warsaw airport was close upon our our arrival at 2:30pm. We had to wait over 1 hour before someone showed up after our repeated phone calls to the number left on the office counter. The person who arrived had no customer service skills, did not acknowledge our wait time or even apologize. On top of it he was very rude and unprofessional. We had to sign all the documentation for our car rental prior to viewing the car. The car they offer was BMW3. As per our agreement when booking we should have been given an Infinity Q50 or similar luxury car. When we went to pick up the car we were in complete shock. The car from outside was complete dirty, covered in mud and dust as if it had not been cleaned from the previous renter (picture attached). What was most shocking was that the tires were almost completely bald and not safe to drive. Some tires had zero tread. This is not only unsafe but also illegal to drive with. With odometer of the car was over 120,000km. We immediately contacted the office however the guy who provided us with documents left right away and closed the office again. We contact the main office with our concerns and that we refused to use the car for safety reason as well as the general condition of the vehicle. The lady who answered the phone advised us that they do not have any cars to replace the current one and advised us to simply drop off the key and she will cancel the rental. This was by far the most shocking customer service we have ever experienced at a car rental facility in any airport we have been in around the world. It absolutely blew my mind. There was no one at the kiosk office at the airport to deal with. They left us with a horrific car in an unsafe condition after making us wait for more than 1hr at the airport after already traveling for 20 hours. We dropped the key off and went to Euro Car rental to rent a vehicle which came in immaculate condition and only 6,000km

Highly recommended.

The overall service is quite good.

Very satisfied.

One evening during the rental period, the car displayed a fault warning and I couldn't reach customer service, which was concerning. Overall, the service was average, and the rental price was moderate—probably just standard. Additionally, the car I received was not fully fueled with a range of 410 kilometers. Refueling myself to avoid extra charges from the rental company makes it hard to estimate how much fuel to add.
