We booked 11 months prior to pickup date. We needed a van sized vehicle for 4 adults and 2 children which we were able to book at a very good price. About 4 weeks prior to pickup, I tried to find an email address for the rental car shop to ask for childrens seats as well as to confirm that our vehicle was in fact the van size. I could not locate an email address whatsoever. So I decided to call the shop instead. After a while of trying to locate the correct number and make sure I timed the phone call correctly due to time zone difference, not one person could assist me. I phoned during their staffed hours on a Sunday and was told to call back during the week when there’s more staff to assist. So I called on the Monday, multiple times until I finally got through to a very very rude woman explaining to me that she was too busy to help with my enquiry and only answered my call because she saw my number come up multiple times and thought it was an emergency. She said my enquiry wasn’t an emergency and that I needed to call closer to my arrival date. So I did that. Called a week prior to arrival and once again very rude and they couldn’t guarantee that I would have the vehicle that I booked. What on earth?! How can you not guarantee that you’ll receive a product/service that you’ve received confirmation for. How are we supposed to travel 24hrs across the world, to arrive at the car rental with 2 small kids and not be guaranteed that they’ll have a car large enough for you. Absolutely ridiculous. I asked them what I should do as I couldn’t have that risk upon arrival. She stated I should make another booking with another company and then cancel their reservation on the day if they didn’t have the car. Umm no. I had to make another reservation with another agency at a higher price. Very unprofessional. Imagine booking a hotel room and receiving confirmation then a week out you call to confirm your room type and they say it’s not guaranteed they’ll have a room when you come to check in. Just wouldn’t happen.

We couldn't rent the car that we reserved several months prior because the station was closed. We weren't notified. Therefore, highly recommend to avoid this Avis/Budget location.

The oil light came on right after I picked up the car. The oil was so low that it only touched the bottom of the stick. The drop off address no longer exists, so I had to find another address. The other address didn’t have the same hours, so they were closed when I got there. There was no box for me to leave the key in. Luckily, an employee of another business in the same building opened the door, and took the key for me.
The office was close to the main train station and easy to find with only a few minutes walk. Pick up was great, the guys spoke English very well compared to my mediocre German, they even brought the car to the front of the office. The car was nice and clean with built in GPS which was awesome for what we were planning to do. The problem arose when we tried to return the car after hours. We were not told were to return the car to, so we read the note on door telling us to drop it at the gas station on the corner. The gas station guy said we couldn't leave the car and to put it in the garage...except he didn't specify which garage. We went to closest garage and finally found the drop area but had no idea where to drop the keys. Luckily the garage attendant helped otherwise we would have taken the keys with us and had to return to the office the next day. It would have been nice to have more instructions when we picked up. In there defense, they were dealing with an entitled 22 yr old who was throwing a fit because she couldn't rent a luxury vehicle and drive it one way to Munich that day, so they were distracted.

Customer service was excellent both at pickup and drop-off. Fuel rank was not full but was supplied as full. They could have mentioned that.
