Terrible vehicles

Don't let them give you a silver Opel Astra at Warsaw Airport!! The actual pickup etc went very smoothly. However, when driving out of the car park I noticed the orange engine management light was on. I stopped and told the young lady who handed me the car. She said to ignore the light as it is a factory fault and the car was fine to drive. 10 minutes into the journey I was having real problems getting the car into gear and the clutch was very "sticky". I decided that I would drop my wife and 2 young daughters off at the hotel then go back to swap the car as it really wasn't performing. However, I got to traffic lights, I was in the middle of 3 lanes of traffic. The car began to shake violently. The car would not go into gear and then completely cut out. I tried the engine 3 or 4 times but when it did start I could not force it into gear. Having 2 young kids in the car they became quite scared as we were sitting ducks. We called the emergency number, got out the car and removed all our luggage and waited for help. It took almost 2 hours for the replacement car to arrive with lots of apologies. I have since sent them an email to say how upsetting the whole experience was. However, the reply didn't even contain an apology. They actually told me that there was nothing wrong with the car and they hired it out to another customer. Can you believe that??? I hope the next customer isn't in the fast lane of the motorway when it breaksdown again, they might not be so lucky!! They're playing with lives!!

Nur mit zusätzlicher Versicherung

Das Fahrzeug wurde im April über die Fluggesellschaft gebucht und mit der Kreditkarte bezahlt. Vor Ort mussten wir die Kaution hinterlegen und die Kreditkarte war nur 5 statt wie im Kleingedruckten auf der Seite 3 hingewiesen 6 Monate gültig. Alle anderen Möglichkeiten wurden abgelehnt und uns wurden 560.- Euro für eine Zusatzversicherung aufgezwungen. Nie wurde darauf hingewiesen was eher Täuschung und Geschäftsmodell ist. Man muss auch vor Ort nochmals ein Papier ausfüllen, dieses dient eher für die Provisionbeweis der abgezockten Touristen. Auf dem Zusatzvertrag der Versicherung war bereits alles vorausgefüllt, sie wussten schon das es hier was zu holen gab. Ganz miese masche von der Swiss unterstützten Carunion

Auto Union Greece (Preveza Airport)-…

Auto Union Greece (Preveza Airport)- would definitely use again. We were told to expect someone waiting with a sign on arrival - we couldn't find him for 10 mins which sent alarm bells ringing, however on calling the office they said to walk across the road and minibus would be waiting for us, which it was. This was the only negative experience we had. The transfer to their office is 1 min away. Our car was ready and waiting , we checked over and completed paperwork and all was fine. Drop off was quick and easy. They had minibus waiting to transfer us back.

Slechtste auto verhuur ooit

Slechtste auto verhuur ooit. Huur hier nooit een auto. De autoverhuur is slecht vindbaar. Bij aankomst hebben we een uur moeten wachten omdat de capaciteit niet op het aantal huurders berekend was. De auto die we meekregen maakte een absurd klapperend geluid dat vanuit de motorruimte kwam. AutoUnion was niet bereid naar ons toe te komen om het probleem op te lossen. In plaats daarvan hebben we een halve dag opgeofferd om terug te gaan naar autoUnion. Het mankement aan het voertuig is goed te verklaren. De verhuurder maakte een testrit waarbij hij de auto zo belachelijk ruig bestuurde dat geen auto het langer dan een jaar zou overleven. Bij het afleveren van de auto was de verhuurder zeer agressief en onbeleefd. Omdat er wat vervuiling door bezoek aan lokale stranden in de auto lag nam hij €50 euro van de borg in beslag. Aan de manier waarop dit kenbaar gemaakt werd blijkt dat dit spelletje vaker gespeeld wordt en dat ze op deze manier extra inkomsten proberen te genereren.

There is a better service somewhere. Walk away.…

If you see "Interior detail fee" at the counter, run out the door They have cars with designs in the seats. You return the car, they charge you for removing (!!) sweat spots, on all 4 seats, when you are a solo traveler!!! Crooks, with a vengeance. Never again. They have the shaft ready for you before you take off. I had a pic of her hand right on the "spot" prior to delivery!! She thereupon returned!, and she charged mt 70+ euros for cleaning all 4 seats. .

Los vehiculos de Auto Union Ltd sonuna pesima compra y mala inversionz

Los vehiculos de Auto Union Ltd, estan maquillados con pésima calidad de pintura, los vendedores te cambian los números que prometen a la hora de vender son diferentes a la hora de firmar contrato, al poco tiempo empiezan con problemas mecánicos y son gastos extras porque ellos venden como estan, y todavía cuando tratas de hablar con el dueño te contesta mal, a mi esposo el mismo dueño le contesto con esta frase QUIEN TE MANDA COMPRAR AQUI, PORQUE NO FUISTE A OTRO LADO, muy soberbio el señor. 😡😡🤬🤬

Auto Union NOT a scammer

I had read worrying number of v negative reviews of AutoUnion Car Hire. Our experience at Athens International Airport was totally positive. Staff very keen to help, concerned to tell us exactly how to locate the depot on return, couldn't be nicer - eg made a point of checking the spare wheel and tools. Car had a number of marks on collection, absolutely no problems on return [in same condition]. Our experience is absolutely opposite to those reporting Auto Union as scammers This duplicates a review on Holiday Autos through which we hired. I almost never post reviews - but need to offset the horror reviews.

Bravi, veloci e competenti

Noleggiata on line una panda full insurance. Tutto perfetto. All'uscita dal ritiro bagagli abbiamo trovato una ragazza con un cartello col nostro nome. Ci hanno portato con una navetta all'agenzia poco fuori l'ingresso dell'aereoporto. Personale giovane,gentile,veloce. Passaporto,patente,carta di credito x la cauzione di 300 euro. Accurata ispezione della carrozzeria assieme a noi e firma delle condizioni e del livello di carburante. Veloce l'assistenza dell'assicurazione quando ci hanno tamponato sul monte Ainos. In 40 minuti è arrivato un ragazzo della compagnia di assicurazione che ha svolto tutta la pratica di constatazione. Consigliatissimo!

BE WARNED! DO NOT USE AUTOUNION OR THE BROKER, WISECARS!…

Larnaca, Cyprus Booking.Booked car via internet in UK with Autounion through Wisecars. I was to be met in Arrivals Hall. Almost 2 hours later no one appeared and i had to ask people at the airport how to deal with this problem as the Autounion number just rang and rang. I even tried Wisecars, the broker ( I phoned Ireland at great cost), but they were not helpful. Airport Staff told me since it was a two day hire Autounion will not bother to come out as it was also a sunday! Eventually, traced company by chance through another hire company. i had to use a shuttle bus that i was also not told about. Had it not been for a woman i asked who happened to know them i would have had to hire another car at the airport. I received the car 2 hours late and i would give somewhere between 2 and 3 stars for quality)! Very stressful. Do not use these people! I AM WRITING THIS PART OF THE REVIEW AFTER READING AUTOUNION'S ANSWER. THE LARNACA ARRIVALS HALL IS SMALL.THE PLANE WAS ON TIME. I CHECKED WITH A NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD NAMES ON A BOARD AS THEY WAITED FOR THEIR CLIENTS. 95 MINS LATER STILL NO-ONE TURNED UP. I HAVE PROOF THAT I RANG THEIR PUBLISHED NUMBER 6 TIMES (NO ANSWER) AND, BY THE WAY, MY PHONE NUMBER, WAS CORRECT! PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE. YOU ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AT THEIR AVERAGE REVIEW SCORES TO SEE HOW POOR THEY ARE.

Beware fraudulent damage claim's.

Beware fraudulent damage claim's. We booked through argus car hire. The major point was we got a flat tyre, were told to go to a different depo to get it fixed, 3 hours later... We are told we must pay €120 in cash to get the keys back, and they cannot give us a receipt. We get the keys back and it isn't even a new tyre, but a very poor repair job. In addition, the Aircon does not work, the passenger window does not open from the passagers side, and the locking system does not work properly.

Great price, good cars, helpful staff

I rented a small car from Auto Union Greece at Volos Airport and was very happy with the vehicle and the price. I booked the vehicle online at the company's website autounion.gr and got a very good rate - much better than some of the comparison sites for car rental. The vehicle was a Nissan Micra, with only 16,000kms on the clock - probably less than a year old and in excellent condition. I extended the hire period by two days, then another four days, with no trouble, and dropped the car off at a slightly different location - Volos bus station. The company's representative, Giorgos, was very friendly and helpful and got through the paperwork swiftly. He was waiting on time for the drop-off. I would recommend AutoUnion for cheap rates and good cars.

Gerne wieder

Wir haben ein Auto ( kleinste Kategorie über vehicle rent-check24 ) am Flughafen Kreta gemietet. Und genau das haben wir auch bekommen. Der VW UP war sauber und gepflegt. Nach einer kurzen Wartezeit ging der Mitarbeiter mit uns den Wagen durch und erklärte uns alles Wichtige. Es wurde NICHT versucht uns zusätzliche Versicherungen auf zuschwatzen (hatten bereits VK ohne SB) . Bei der Rückgabe lief es genauso ab. Der Mitarbeiter kam, sah sich das Auto an und bescheinigte uns, dass alles in Ordnung sei. Tankregelung war in Ordnung. Ich kann die ganzen negativen Bewertungen nicht verstehen. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr freundlich . Allerdings ist eine Verständigung nur auf Englisch möglich. Sollte aber heut zu Tage kein Problem darstellen. Wir würden wieder dort buchen.

Illegitimate Business/Scam Artists

Illegitimate Business/Scam Artists (warning: please read before considering to rent from auto union) I rented a van and two other cars from this company by making a reservation online. When I picked up the vehicles at the airport the renter gave us the keys to the van without doing a proper inspection. The individual also failed to explain that the person who was signed on the contract as the primary driver of the vehicle was the only person who could return the vehicle and failure to do so was grand violation of the law. These details didn’t seem relevant upon pick up but was later used as a point of contention later when we dropped off the vehicle. We returned the Van at the airport the following Monday. When I parked the car and exited the vehicle an individual who I had never met yelled at me demanding that I give him the keys. This is a person who I had never seen before and it was not clear that this person worked for auto union. Disgruntled, I was adamant and told him I did not know who he was. He continued to yell at me and then another woman (who I assumed was his wife) sternly demanded that I forfeit my “yellow paper”. She was referring to my carbon copy of the contract that listed the details of my rental. I was very uncomfortable with her demand because I have rented many cars before from many different companies and in different countries and that request had never been asked of me. In the end, this company charged me $250 in “damages” to the side bumper that was non-existent. When I refused to pay, they threatened to call the police because my name wasn’t listed as the primary driver. I told them that upon pick up of the vehicle they never explained to me that was important even though I had driven the other cars and I was the person who initially made the reservation. He responded that the people at Auto Union didn’t have time to tell every single person about this rule. I retorted by stating that if this rule is important enough to have to police called then every customer should know. After I made my point, the auto union worker became very angry and his threats became more harsh. He started yelling and screaming stating that he would make it so the police would be very harsh to me. The reason why they wanted my copy of the rental contract or the “yellow paper” was because they failed to do the inspection and failed to sign the part of the contract indicating where the damages were. If I had forfeited they could have forged any details on it and use it as leverage against me. I took pictures of the car after I dropped it off and took extra pictures of the side bumper and it is very clear that there are no damages there. The only reason why I complied to paying this ridiculous amount of money for no damages was because my newly wedded wife was crying and wanted to leave rental lot and enjoy our last days in Santorini instead of arguing with the Auto Union employees. All in all, I will say. DO NOT USE AUTO UNION. They are scam artists and they will suck out all the money out of you. If you DO NOT PAY they will make your time as stressful and as miserable as possible.

Ho prenotato per un mese a Santorini…

Ho prenotato per un mese a Santorini una Polo. Mi hanno rifilato una i20 scassatissima, con 105.000km all'attivo, clacson che non suonava, niente acqua nei tergicristalli, la chiave non funzionava nella portiera del guidatore e quindi bisognava sempre aprirla dal lato passeggero, radio non funzionante. Inoltre i conti non erano fatti in maniera molto chiara.
