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.

10 year old car, did not match pictures

The car advertised and pictured was not as old as the car we were provided. The pictures show a newer model Skoda Octavia station wagon, and we were provided with a vehicle which was over 10 years old (as shown on the registration documents) with 156,000km on the odometer. This is false advertising as far I am concerned, and I presume illegal. This was just the start, as shortly into our trip, the air-conditioner stopped working. This was during extreme heat in Greece and we were on a 2.5 hour drive to Patras with 5 of us in the car. Not wanting the inconvenience of driving back to Athens we continued with all the windows open in about 35 degrees heat. In Patras they agreed to swop the vehicle at our hotel, and I emphasised to them that I needed the same size of vehicle as we had a lot of luggage and 5 people in the car. The following morning a very helpful chap arrived with a Seat Arona which unfortunately had a fraction of the boot space of the Skoda Octavia station wagon, despite my previous requests. At Preveza airport there was no mention that Auto Union was located just under a kilometre from the airport without any signage to indicate this. Luckily the other rental companies could direct me and the staff member at the depot did drive me back to the airport. I would never use Auto Union again, and I don’t think anyone else should take the risk of using them either. There are special companies that rent 10 year+ aged cars and Auto Union do not advertise to be one of these companies. The cars pictures appear to be like Avis, Europcar and Sixt, but they are not. The Images are false.

Never again. Fraudsters

Turned up a Vienna airport. No signage. Rang a number five times before someone picked up. Shuttle from airport hotel to location ten minutes away. Demanded a credit card, took 1200 euro deposit and charged 50 euros to cross any border no disclosure of fees. Car had 40k kms on the clock and petrol only 60% full. Never again

SCAMMERS!!! SCAMMERS!!!

We reserved a car with them, when we arrived to pick it up they told us that we needed a credit card (debit cards are not useful, except for charging). Since we don't have one, they gave us a phone number where no one answers. We have written emails that we have read from other negative reviews to request a refund of the reservation amount and they do not respond. Never rent with them, they are THIEVES!

I booked my car in Sarajevo

I booked my car in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina long time ago via Discover for June 24 to July 10 and unfortunately choose Union even I have had other companies with same rental conditions. When we arrived at airport location agent immediately complained we are early 1/2 hour (even on agreement was flight number and time of arrivals) and we have to wait because car was not ready yet. At that time was very hot on the airport parking lot. OK but in the meantime another customer arrived and she wanted to return the car but because parking was full she asked him to come out and help her. He got out with water spray bottle and clothe. He started spraying her car and drying it looking for small scratches doing that slowly and talking some nonsense. At the end I was so frustrated I cancelled my reservation and rented car with other company and because now is full season I have to pay much more than initially. But to drive a car and think about some small scratches or stone chips and get charged for that ... no thank you.

Absolutely appalling will never use…

Absolutely appalling will never use again we were charged for a stone chip on the windscreen 890 euros something that can easily be filled in. I asked to see an invoice / quotation for this and they just said it’s what the garage told them on the phone. They were arguing with myself who is 34 weeks pregnant very stressed and have made us miss our flights due to keeping us there with no transportation to the airport until we paid the money without any proof of this quotation!! We have now had to pay out again for return flights as I have hospital appointments to attend to for my baby which I told them numerous times but they honestly didn’t care at all!!

Absolutely disgusted in the way they…

Absolutely disgusted in the way they treated my pregnant girlfriend. They demanded €890 for a tiny chip in the window which wasn’t even our fault. They gave us the wrong car to begin with. They even made us miss our flight costing another £500 as they would not let us leave without paying!! We are literally sitting on the airport now and my girlfriend will miss all her baby appointments tomorrow 😔 they really didn’t care at all!! I’m soo ashamed some humans can be this way.

Auto gemietet in Ayia Napa

Wir haben über Sunny Cars ein Suzuki Alto gemietet. Obwohl in den Buchungsunterlagen ausdrücklich gestanden ist, dass keine Debitkarte - trotz Kredirkartenfunktion - nicht erlaubt ist, verlief die Abwicklung reibungslos. Die Dame kam uns netterweise entgegen und verlangte als Sicherheit statt € 200,- Kaution, € 300,- Kaution in bar (da keine Abbuchung von der Debitkarte) möglich. Wir fanden das einen sehr guten Kompromiss. Wir sind sehr froh, dass dies alles super gut geklappt hat. Auto hat uns problemlos an alle unsere Ziele gebracht. Auto wurde vom Hotel abgeholt. Die Kaution haben wir ohne Probleme zurückerhalten. Kleines aber super feines Auto mit ein paar Schönheitsfehlern. Wir empfehlen Auto Union wärmstens weiter!

Car was good, but with opportunities

Car was good, but it was dirty and with 3/4 of fuel, important to Marion that I bolt a category of I-20 (hatch) I get a sedan (Tipo). The communication before the reservation by email was very good and clear. At the day not so much, I had doubts about cross border that wasn’t clear. Overall: 3/5
