Very dissatisfied with the car rental experience. 1 The manager in the office wanted to cheat for money. He did wished to accept the price indicated in the order and wanted to take 2 times more. I spent almost an hour arguing with him. He was just downright rude. 2. The car was not served to me. I had to seach it myself in the parking. 3. Only 3/4 tank of diesel was filled. I was not explained the technical data of the car, such as the capacity of the gas tank and what kind of consumption for km. So, because of this, I returned the car with a full tank and lost about 25 euros on it. Apparently, this is also a trick to deceive. 4. Until now, the deposit taken from me on the card has not been returned to me.

I was given a reservation number for an automatic car. They had no cars except one manual transmission car which I can not drive.
I was told at the counter that I hired the car without insurance while my contract was saying that it had basic insurance. I was given the three options at the counter: 1- Pay over 700 euros for insurance at the counter 2- dont get the car and lose your car rental payment of nearly 300 USD 3- Take the car and sign a a document that if anything happen to the car i should pay full amount up to 40000 euros.
