Intermediate SUV
I booked a SUV, Volkswagen T-cross or similar. I was given a Volkswagen Golf, which is cheaper and one class lower on their website. A Golf is mot an SUV. I hit my head on their sign when picking up the car, didn't realize this at first. I wasn't offered a partial refund for the difference in price at my drop-off location. They told me this: A Volkswagen golf is a SUV, and the same class as a T-cross! Leaving an honest review and giving you as little stars as I can is the only thing I can do now. Shame on you.
