This place is really bad! Do not rent from here!
They charge you for everything even if you did not do the task and this place is no no no good!Please do not rent from here they have short staff and it is a one man show! You have to wait a long time for shuttles and to get print out! I waited almost 30’mins to get print out! And also they did not give me rides to airport she told us to walked to airport the persons was really rude

Check the roof they will make a small indent in it then charge €300 euros of damages.
Do not recommend! I make many rentals during the year and for the first time I met that they charge you 100 eur per visited country out of the Austria. When you count all the fees they charge you, it is cheaper to use normal rental companies. They can be called not U-Save, but U-Spend!
tardamos una hora en coger el coche y solo una persona delante una pareja,
coche te hacen firmar los papeles sin poder leerlos en un movil, y ser ver coche como esta ni ver deposito firmas esta lleno
luego ves esta a medio deposito la gasolina al poco de salir, haces foto y llamas para reclamarlo que solo hay medio deposito. AL devolverlo devuelves el deposito a 3/4 mas gasolina te lo dieron y revisan coche despues de esperar mas de una hora a 37 grados dicen todo ok y la gasolina enseñas la foto con la fecha y hora recogida y te da ok
de nuevo firmas sin ver nada y a la semana te ves te han cargado en la visa 60.20 euros sin motivo ni posiblilidad de reclamar
el coche segun cogimos tenia una luz de alerta de averia, no tenia ni radio. por los que he leido despues esto de la gasolina es una constumbre hacen a todo el mundo. los que estaban delante por una rayita decian habian hecho en retrovisor apesar tener seguro les cargaron en la visa 500 euros. pero claro saben llevas prisa y pierdes el avion ..... ESTAFADORES
Polecam wypożyczalnię U-save miła,szybka i solidna obsługa klienta.Wszystko co jest uzgodnione przy odbiorze auta jest realne bez żadnych zmian przy zwrocie.Adam
Hemos tenido muy mala experiencia con esta empresa. No nos devuelve el dinero retenido (350 dinares jordanos) desde Abril por alquilar un coche en Amman, Jordania y cuando nos comunicamos con ellos nos dan muchas largas. Son muy poco profesionales
Mogelpackung und Servicewüste! Wir hatten für eine Autowäsche 14 € zusätzlich zu zahlen. Das Auto war nicht vollgetankt, wir sollen bei Rückgabe bis zu diesem Füllstand tanken. Das ist uns nicht gelungen, wir hatten Mehrkosten von ca. 15 €. Trotz Versicherung bei Check24 sollte Vers. für 57 €/Tag wegen evtl. Abwicklungsproblemen getätigt werden. Es gibt U-Save und AurumCars Bewertungen im Internet (Liste erweiterbar!) Auto wurde nicht vorgefahren bzw. weggebracht. Der Kunde musste das tun.
DON'T RENT from them!
Green Motion(u-save) turned out to be a disaster.
Despite the low rental price, they make up "damages" by recording microscopic imperfections at checkout and pinning them on you! (They were there at check-in, but you didn't notice it because they were literally microscopic)
(The rental was $288, they sent me an additional bill for $674!)
Excellent ! The staff was friendly, professional, and efficient. The car was clean abd well-maintained. The whole process—from booking to return—was smooth.
Abbiamo noleggiato un'auto presso questo ufficio e ci siamo trovati benissimo.
Gabriele è stato di una gentilezza, chiarezza e disponibilità uniche.
Ci riaffideremo senza dubbio a lui per i prossimi noleggi a Lecce.
Grazie! Simone, Maria Elena e Giulio
My total experience is been completely unprofessional and unexceptable. I keep getting the run around about my deposit. First I was told 3-5 business days. Then it was 7- 10 business days. Now I'm being told 14 business days. My whole experience from the time I picked the car up to dropping it off customer service was unprofessional. The car on the other hand was great. But I have yet to receive my refund for my deposit.
When we arrived at the airport we found the customer service desk easily, the lady was very welcoming and there wasn’t a queue. The car was in excellent clean condition and almost new.
During my flight, I lost my physical bank card. Even though I had it on my phone and could verify it in my banking app, they still refused to let me pick up the car this way.
The colleague at the counter was incredibly cynical and ill-intentioned. I lost the entire amount I had prepaid for the rental, and support hasn’t responded to anything.
At the counter of another company right across, I was able to rent a car without any problem, even under the same circumstances.
I will never go near this company again.
Do you even read these reviews before putting a reply in, I advised you I did have a credit card that I place on the counter in the Usave office for the girl behind the counter to lose the said card. Do you think people want all this hassle, just take a look at how dissatisfied all the clients using Usave are, this speaks volumes, you need to heed what people are saying and rectify this bad customer service, you do not seem able to come back with an answer just excuses. Take stock of what the people using your firm are saying you have a terrible score on Trustpilot, so you need to improve or you will go out of business. I have put up these reviews so other people can get a better firm to deal with and maybe when you go out of business you will take notice of what customers are complaining about, no one wants to have a bad experience when on holiday, but all you do is try to put the blame of the customer. You really need to get your act together and maybe get some good reviews, wish I had read all the reviews before booking with you.
Timely pick up after landing in Calgary. Rental counter was close to the airport. Car was as expected. Staff was friendly and informative.
Drop off seamless and charges applied were as quoted. No surprises.
Would definitely book here again!
