Plovdiv city toprentacar

Recently rented a nine year old Kangoo van in good used worn condition from Toprentacar Plovdiv. One wheel trim missing at the point of hire. That's ok.
I subsequently lost another one over the hire period.
I offered to buy and fit a replacement one , this offer was refused by toprentacar.
Instead they charged me a total of 160 Euro for the missing trim.
The cost of a new Renault part was 18 euro.
I've been a loyal customer for years but they refused to compromise .
Never again
(I had their insurance also )

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are sorry to learn that you were left dissatisfied with your last rental experience. We truly appreciate your loyalty as a returning Top Rent A Car customer and value the trust you have placed in us over the past two years.

However, the additional review of your case confirmed that the charges were applied in accordance with our Official Price List, which forms an integral part of the Rental Agreement accepted at the beginning of your rental. These procedures are applied consistently and equally to all customers.

While we understand and respect your point of view, we are unable to make exceptions to the agreed contractual terms in this case.

We regret that this experience has affected your impression of our service and sincerely hope you may reconsider using Top Rent A Car in the future.

Best Regards,
Top Rent A Car

Dear Mr. Walsh,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to read that your experience did not meet your expectations.
We would like to clarify that we do not retain a customer's security deposit without reason. The temporary retention of a deposit is a standard procedure in situations where a vehicle requires additional inspection by our Fleet Department, including cases where damage is identified or suspected, or when a more detailed assessment is necessary to determine the nature and extent of any findings. This process is in place to ensure that every case is handled fairly, consistently, and based on objective evidence rather than assumptions.
Our Fleet Department conducts all inspections in accordance with established procedures before any final decision is made. If no chargeable damage or other issue is confirmed, the deposit is released in line with the terms of the rental agreement and the processing times of the relevant financial institution.
We also take the condition of our vehicles very seriously. Every vehicle undergoes regular maintenance and inspections, and any reported concerns are reviewed carefully. If a customer identifies an issue at the beginning of the rental, we encourage them to report it immediately so it can be documented and, where appropriate, resolved without delay.
We understand that waiting for the outcome of an inspection can be frustrating. However, these procedures are designed to protect both our customers and the company by ensuring that every case is assessed accurately and impartially.
We appreciate your feedback and remain committed to providing transparent service and maintaining high standards throughout the rental process.
Best regards,
Top Rent A Car

Friendly Service and Painless Experience

The whole experience was easy and user-friendly from start to finish. The car (model and year) was as agreed and in good condition. The shuttle to/from the airport was about 10 minutes and the drivers were friendly and helping with the luggage. Overall, great service.

cargo space incorrect given by phone and on website

Hi,

i needed to move and for that i needed a car where i could put a lot of stuf but as specialy my 2 table blades that are both 1.60 x 90. on the website (and i called also for it) the cargo space should be 1.81x1.55x1.23 the only thing that is correct is the hight of 1.23 .
It doesn't matter where or how you measure it, it is not 1.81 and not 1.55 but 1.40 and on the smallesed part even 1.20

Because of this i have to drive an extra time from Burgas to Plovdiv to move my table blades.

there for i give 1 star
and never will use Toprent a car again.

Dear Ms. Hennekes,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the vehicle did not meet your expectations for your move.
Following your review, we carefully verified the cargo compartment dimensions of the 2022 Citroën Berlingo against the official technical specifications provided by Citroën. We can confirm that the dimensions published on our website accurately reflect the manufacturer's official data and have not been altered or misrepresented. Our Contact Centre team also relies on these same official specifications when providing information to customers.
We understand that the practical loading space may differ depending on how it is measured and on factors such as the shape of the cargo area, wheel arches, interior trim, and the size or orientation of the items being transported. However, we have found no discrepancy between the information we provide and the manufacturer's published specifications.
While we regret that the vehicle was not suitable for your specific transportation needs, we remain committed to providing accurate information and reliable service to all our customers.
Best regards,
Top Rent A Car

Support your local

Support your local. Shuttle bus took us from old T1 to the off-airport location in a couple of minutes. While the vehicle handover wasn't necessarily as swift as with some international competitors, it was professional nevertheless. We got a manual drive Citroen C3 aircross, mint condition, this years make. Vehicle worked perfectly. Return was semi-smooth too. Nothing to complain really and I'd gladly rent from TRAC again.

- I waited for 1 hour 30 minutes at Sofia airport on 03 July. This was the first voucher i had.
- yesterday for the second voucher unused, I picked up the car in nessebar yesterday and it was very dirty. Sandy, dirty and banged up. Today on 02 august I dropped the car off in Sofia airport and even though I paid 20 euro to drop at the airport there was no clear instructions for drop off because the minivan does not fit inside the under ground parking. It took a long time to figure out what to do and after checking with that top rent a car counter (which was super busy) I finally managed to do it.

This year I notice your level of service has gone down! It is clear that top rent a car does not employ enough people for such a service. I suggest your managers reconsider this and improve.

Dear Mr. Deyanov,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate your comments, as they help us evaluate and improve our services.
We are sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations.
Regarding the waiting time at Sofia Airport on 3 July, the summer season is our busiest period, and despite careful planning, there may occasionally be delays due to the high volume of arriving customers. Our team works hard to assist every customer as efficiently as possible, and we appreciate your patience.
With regard to the condition of the vehicle collected in Nessebar, we sincerely regret that it did not meet the cleanliness standards we strive to maintain. This is not representative of the level of service we aim to provide, and your comments will be shared with the relevant branch for review.
Regarding the vehicle return at Sofia Airport, our return instructions are provided in the rental documentation and are also available on our website. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify opportunities to make the process even clearer and more convenient for our customers.
We also appreciate your comments regarding staffing. During the peak tourist season, customer demand is significantly higher, and while we continuously adjust our operations to accommodate this, there are times when waiting periods may be longer than usual. Please be assured that we are continuously investing in both our team and our processes to improve the overall customer experience.
Thank you once again for your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother experience on your next rental.
Best regards,
Top Rent A Car

Cheats trying to maximise funds

On the very first day of my rental, a tyre pressure warning light appeared on the dashboard. When I contacted customer service, I was advised to inflate the tyre using the tyre inflation kit provided in the vehicle. I did this, but the tyre continued to lose air.
I contacted them again and was then instructed to visit a local tyre service centre. I followed these instructions, which took time out of my holiday. The tyre centre found that the tyre had a puncture and required attention. The tyre man fixed the tyre and I paid out of pocket . When I returned the vehicle. I was still charged 150 euros for doing noting . They provided no explaination just collected the money for no reason.

Dear Mr. Ogunjobi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience.
When you contacted us regarding the deflated tire during your rental, we explained that the tire required replacement rather than a simple repair, as driving on a flat tire can cause severe internal side all damage, making it unsafe for further use.
To help resolve the situation as quickly as possible, we offered to send a mobile roadside assistance service to fit a spare tire on site. We also informed you that towing the vehicle to a repair shop was an available alternative, although it would involve higher costs. You chose to arrange the repair independently. As outlined in our rental terms, when customers choose to handle repairs themselves instead of using the assistance provided, they are responsible for any associated costs.
Following the return of the vehicle, our technical inspection confirmed that the tire had sustained irreparable damage caused by being driven while deflated and therefore required replacement.
In accordance with your Top Protection coverage, your liability for tire damage was limited to €120, plus the standard €30 administrative fee applicable to all damage claims. For this reason, a total of €150 was retained from your security deposit.
We understand that situations like this can be frustrating, but the charge was applied in line with the condition of the vehicle and the terms of the rental agreement. If you would like to discuss the matter further, our Customer Support team will be happy to assist you.
Best regards,
Top Rent A Car

DO NOT use this company at all costs

I rented a car from this company, expecting that if something outside my control happened, I would be covered.

Unfortunately, the car was damaged overnight while legally parked outside my accommodation in a hit-and-run. As soon as I discovered the damage, I immediately contacted Top Rent, who instructed me to call 112. I followed their instructions exactly. 112 then instructed me to visit KAT (Traffic Police) to obtain the required documentation. I went to KAT, obtained the official document they issued for my case, and handed it to Top Rent when I returned the vehicle.

More than two weeks later, I received an email rejecting the document and demanding almost €1,000 for the damage. They stated that the document issued by KAT was not acceptable, despite the fact that I obtained it by following the instructions given by both Top Rent and the Bulgarian authorities.

As an international student, this has been extremely stressful. I did everything I was told to do, reported the incident immediately, cooperated fully, obtained the official documentation available to me, and still ended up with a large bill for damage caused by an unknown driver.

If a specific document is required for insurance purposes, customers should be clearly informed at the time of the incident and guided through the correct process. Instead, I was left to navigate the system myself, only to be told weeks later that the document I had been instructed to obtain was insufficient.

Based on what happened to me, I cannot recommend this company at all

Dear Zak,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

We are sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident that occurred during your rental. We understand how stressful it can be to discover that a parked vehicle has been damaged by an unknown driver.

We would, however, like to clarify that our team provided the instructions required under the circumstances and advised you to report the incident to the relevant authorities immediately. The documentation requested in such cases is determined by the applicable insurance procedures and legal requirements, and, unfortunately, we are not in a position to influence or alter the insurer's assessment or acceptance criteria.

Top Rent A Car does not make claim decisions independently. Once an incident is reported, the case is reviewed according to the terms of the rental agreement and the insurance policy. The insurer evaluates the submitted documentation and determines whether their conditions have been met. We understand that this outcome may be disappointing, but these procedures are outside our direct control.

Our intention is always to assist our customers throughout the process by providing guidance and the information available to us.

However, we hope to have the chance to regain your trust in the future, and provide you with the smooth experience you deserve.

Best Regards,
Top Rent A Car
