I never rented an EV from them and never would because the charging logistics are a pain in the ass at return. Out of petrol? 10 minutes, run it through the car wash at the same time, sorted. Out of charge? Oh I'm right next to one of the biggest airports in Europe and all the chargers are rammed. No thanks.
- echoangle 2y agoWhat happens when you return it with a lower charge than when you got it? Don’t you just have to pay the difference? Is that more expensive than charging it yourself?
- resolutebat 2y agoYup, same as returning an ICE car with a half-empty tank.
- patja 2y agoIt's a flat fee. I forget if it was $25 or $35. They were pricing EVs at a discount for a trip I took through Atlanta last month. Still came out ahead with the recharge fee.
- cjk2 2y agoWaaaay more expensive.
- khuey 2y agoDo Europeans really return their rental cars washed? The only time I've ever washed a rental car in the US was when I drove it off paved roads in violation of the terms of the rental agreement and needed to hide the evidence.
- Symbiote 2y agoI've never washed a rental car, and I've never heard of anyone doing so. (Fortunately, last time I drove one on a dirt road there was a heavy rain storm the next day.) </European>
- ghaff 2y agoI’ve never ever washed then though I probably risked a cleaning fee. I’ve returned some very (externally) dirty cars that were in a bunch of forest roads though mostly not really off-road.
- cjk2 2y agoI mostly do because I tend to make them all shitty.
