Ordering and picking the car perfect. Returning the car annoying and infuriating.

Lack of thoroughness.

Buchbinder is extremely dishonest and even fraudulent. First, I refueled the car at a gas station within 2 kilometers from the return site, spending 55.63 euros (automatic shut-off). 2-3 minutes later, I returned the car. The staff checked the gauge and car condition without mentioning any issues and let me leave after I signed. After returning home, I was charged for 1/8 tank of fuel and repairs for scratches on the front underbody! The fuel charge is outright Buchbinder's shameless fraud! Additionally, the underbody scratches (not the front, you have to lie down to see them) were brought up afterwards, making it impossible for me to defend myself. I cannot determine if it was caused by stones or already existed before. Fortunately, they didn't claim for tire wear as well. However, the inspector did not mention this during the inspection. The worst part is they filled in car damage details on the blank signed inspection form afterwards and shamelessly claimed it was verified by my signature. I can't believe a European company can be so unethical and shameless! Had I known, I would have bought the full insurance they pushed hard during pickup to avoid the deductible loophole. Can you imagine such a shameless company? I've rented cars abroad more than 20 times, and this is the first time encountering such an infuriatingly shameless company. Even if it costs ten times more, I would want to take them to court!

The store location is very convenient, all rental companies are between T1 and T2, easy to find. Processing one customer is very slow, around 15-20 minutes... The service attitude is quite average... Arrived at the counter at 6:40 am, a blonde lady said my reservation was for 7 am, so I had to wait 20 minutes. 20 minutes later, I was told they didn't have the car I wanted, only large vehicles like VANS, and I had to wait another 20 minutes... During this time, I saw four local German-speaking customers all get their cars smoothly (three of them were alone and only one group was a pair). Maybe I was overthinking, but they could all be renting VANS??? When I had waited for the third 20 minutes and saw another Chinese couple being told the same thing while locals got their cars smoothly, I got a bit angry. I directly asked the blonde lady how to resolve this issue, then a higher-ranking brunette came out, checked my order, and I told her about my waiting process. She immediately said OK, she would give me a new car but with an extra charge. Since I had already waited for over an hour, I didn't want to wait any longer and agreed. When I went to the garage to pick up the car, I found that they did have the car I wanted... it was just that they were all relatively new?? I don’t understand, maybe they were reluctant to give us these cars? Thankfully, the car I got was indeed new, with only 20KM on it... I probably won't choose this company next time.

Buchbinder is the worst rental car company in the airport imho. They offered a much lower class car instead of the premium one we reserved. They stated that its actually a better car because its bigger in size. We ended up trying to cancel with a fee. I would never go with them
