Spend the extra money not to rent with ACE, it will be worth it

The wait on arrival was excessive, I don't expect to wait over 90 mins in a queue for a pre-booked car. The woman at the drop off was rude and unhelpful when I asked about the excess I had but on my card. ACE would not accept American express for the final payment or the excess ( I had a separate insurance for this) and I had to put it on my debit card which cost me money and I have to wait 8 days to get it back but that was difficult to find out as they told me it would be sorted out when I returned and then they were rude at the drop off when I asked about it and I had to go back into the terminal desk. There was a queue and I had to get a flight but the girl just said I had to wait till they pay it back.

The booking platform was fine

Don’t know as couldn’t get one unless I paid 5 times the on-line price

We arrived on time to pick up our rental car only to be met by a sea of people waiting to collect their cars . Firstly, there were only 4 staff working and they each took around 20mîns if not more to serve each customer! No sense of trying to speed up to help with the ever growing queues! Once we had waited for 2 hours and 20 mins (!!!) we finally had our number called . We were then met by an incredibly slow, unapologetic and borderline agressive member of staff. When we asked for an explanation for the long wait and utter chaos, we were given no apology ( as the representative of ACE should have done in basic customer service ) and just an aggressive and rude attitude whilst we tried to collect our car. In the many years of travel and use of car hire companies at Bordeaux Meringnac airport I have never been treated so incredibly badly nor had to wait so long with no apology or basic customer service. I will never use this company again and will be sure to pass the word on amoung my contact , friends , family and anyone else who I know is looking for car rental .

The car was excellent as was the pick up and delivery service. I was, however, disappointed at the 50 Euro penalty for filling up the fuel tank with very little fuel needed. As the car was returned 2 days early, I felt that the 50 Euros was excessive even though it was probably in the terms and conditions. Under these circumstances perhaps you might consider refunding part of the penalty.

Excellent service

Was good, counter staff very helpful. Think the insurance thing is a bit cheeky really but i get it. Also they didnt know id reserved a car seat. Luckily had brought own anyway as airline said was no extra cost. Should be made clear about huge deposit if you dont take out insurance as i hadnt brought a card with that amount of cash on.
