I booked a car for 4 days when I got there, the car I ordered was not available, so I was given another one, a peugeot, when I had ordered a polo, all right until then, but when I was asked to take pictures of the car from all angles, I noticed that the car was completely full of muted scratches, until the windshield was cracked, and in addition, the light of the back number plate was hanging, the car inside full of stains, there was many risks to put everything in pictures, so I asked the man there. to go and see the car. He didn't like it and spoke badly to me, he told me that they weren't new cars and that I didn't pay to have a new car and that I was supposed to pay the insurance that I didn't need to worry about. After speaking arrogantly, he said that he would see another car that I refused because they are all scratched full of dents.
He told that for the money I have paid the car was good.
Not the best people to work with.
I asked the man for his name and he said Luis but didn't give me surname saying that I'm not a police officer to give me is name.
When I ask for the rent refund he told me that I lost the money I lost all.
Waste of money time
Worst company to rent and have a car.
I have photos of the car to prove what I'm saying unfortunately I didn't record a video.

Very good expérience

The experience with klasswagen was reassuring and allowed us to have a vehicle and not to worry about everything that revolves around the rental thanks to reassuring people.

Matias took back our car at the end in a kind way and worried that our experience went well. He guided us for the return shuttle and was very friendly.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

While many intermediary websites offer their own insurance products, these are third-party insurances and differ from our local Klass Total Cover. When third-party insurance is selected, the security deposit is still required at pick-up. In the event of damage, the applicable amount may be charged from the deposit, and the customer can then submit a claim to their third-party insurer for reimbursement.

Please note that the coverage and exclusions of third-party insurance policies may vary depending on the broker and the insurance product purchased. We therefore recommend checking the specific terms directly with the insurance provider to clarify the extent of the protection included.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Kind regards,
KW Team/Sorina M.

5-Star Review

5-Star Review – Exceptional Customer Service

My experience with Class Wagen Rental Car was outstanding. The staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism, genuine kindness, and a remarkable commitment to customer satisfaction. Their readiness to assist, attention to detail, and welcoming approach made the entire rental process seamless and enjoyable.

What truly sets Class Wagen apart from its competitors is the quality of its people. The team goes above and beyond to ensure customers feel valued, respected, and well taken care of. Their level of service sets a standard that other rental companies should strive to achieve.

Class Wagen has earned my trust and future business. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for superior customer service and a truly exceptional rental experience.

Extortionate addional charges.

We were picked up from Faro on time. But then we were driven 12 mins out of Faro to an isolated area. Once there even though we had booked with Autocar Europe and paid for full cover serious upselling began. €150 deduction for 15 days (no reason) a damage bond of €2400. We were advised a 1 cm Scratch would cost €600 and that the car was not owned by the agency Auto Europe if the car broke down or had a puncture a further €500 charge would occurr. We were advised that in the event of an accident our full cover with auto Europe would not cover the cost of the car which could be €7000 or more depending on the damage. Needles to say we were not happy with this. We contacted Auto Europe who were lovely but not very assisting. We left without the extortionate insurance and declined to take the car at all. Would now recommend avoiding both companies. Had a great trip in Faro.

Dear Mr.Anthony,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

Regarding the €150 deposit, this amount covers tolls and potential traffic fines during the rental period. As for the damage deposit, the amount and conditions are clearly stated on the rental voucher. The deposit reflects the maximum potential liability in the absence of local coverage and is intended to cover potential repair costs in the event of damage to the vehicle.

Any damage charges are calculated based on the type and extent of the damage, the associated administrative costs, and any period during which the vehicle cannot be used while repairs are carried out.

Our staff is trained to explain the rental conditions, answer customers’ questions, and present the available coverage options. While we aim to ensure customers understand the potential financial responsibility associated with each option, the final decision always rests with the customer. We apologize if our explanations came across as too insistent.

We regret that you ultimately decided not to proceed with the rental and appreciate you sharing your experience.

Kind regards,
KW Team/Sorina M.

Avoid

One big scam, avoid as fire in the hole, crew not helpfull, no usefull. scam fees, lazy as hell, they use ome van from airport to place of picking up cars, driver is not interseted about you or your luggage, he doesnt care about you or if you were waiting for transfer. It does not matter if have paid any insurance - you need to pay additional insurance on site (350€) or leave deposit 2400€. Any problem - for example flat tire - admistration fee 100€ + 140€ tire. So hope you see the picture. I domy recommend.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

Our team is properly trained to assist customers and provide support throughout the vehicle rental process. Regarding the insurance requirements, all customers have two options when collecting their vehicle: purchase the local insurance or leave a security deposit, in accordance with the rental terms and conditions.

Please note that roadside assistance and related services may incur additional charges in accordance with our terms and conditions.

We take all customer feedback seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to understand what happened. If you contact us with your booking details, we'll be happy to look into your experience.

Kind regards,

Complete rip off! Stay away!

Picked up a Fiat 500 Hybrid in Lisbon. The car had 118,000 Kms, dirty, scratched up junk. Had to pay US314.00 for insurance or leave US$1,433.00 deposit. I never trust leaving deposits in foreign soil, it takes forever to get it back and you are at their mercy with your credit card. At 200 miles from Lisbon, oil light goes on. Checked and could not see a drop of oil on the dipstick. Bought one quart of oil for 20 euros and nothing. Bought another quart and then saw the mark, but still missing another half quart. When I got back and showed them the invoices, they said I had to have a bank account in order to get my money back! Never did. Then I got their Via Verde transponder, which as I found out, had no battery, so we got yellow light at every toll booth. Upon returning, he said that it would take over a month to get an invoice from Via Verde, so my 180 euros deposit stayed locked. Then they charged me US$119.00 when, if you check, it costs an average of 25 euros to travel from Lisbon to Porto. STAY AWAY! Complete rip off!

Hi Silvio,

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We would like to clarify that our vehicles are regularly inspected to ensure they meet our maintenance and safety standards. In the event of an oil-related issue, our customers can contact our 24-hour roadside assistance service for technical support.

Regarding the toll deposit, the €150 deposit is refunded within 15 to 30 days after the vehicle is returned, as it may take time to receive the final statement from Via Verde and confirm the toll charges.

We take all customer feedback seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to review your case in detail. Please contact us with your booking details so we can look into the matter.

Kind regards,
KW Team / Eduarda Rei.

Untrustworthy rental company – definitely not recommendedn a car rental is booked for…

When a car rental is booked for collection at a specific time, it is reasonable to expect that the vehicle will still be available if you arrive later.

However, when I arrived just over two hours after the scheduled collection time, I was told that my reservation had been cancelled. Instead, they immediately tried to sell me another rental at a significantly higher price, which felt like a blatant attempt to take advantage of the situation.

They didn't send an email, message or anything clarifying that I should pick-up the car exactly at the starting rental time.

I ended up renting a car elsewhere for a quarter of the price they were trying to charge me. I will also be submitting a formal complaint through the booking platform.

Extremely disappointing experience. In my view, this company prioritises making a quick profit over providing a fair and reliable service. Not trustworthy and certainly not recommended.
