    I’m planning a 3000+km 22 day road trip in Europe perhaps in May/June. I plan to start in Amsterdam, then onto Antwerp, Brussels, Luxemburg, Stuttgart, Zurich, Munich, Vienna, Prague, Berlin, Hanover and back to Amsterdam.

    I’ve looked at Hertz and Kemwel (Europcar). However, I read some really bad reviews (widespread deception/scamming) for Kemwel/Europcar that has put me off.

    Any other suggestions for car rentals? I am looking for unlimited km and a fair rate. Leaning towards Hertz for now.

    Can view my planned road trip route HERE

    Cheers and thanks for sharing any info/suggestions you have on the route as well as the rental 🙂

    Not sure if you’d consider Alamo (I typically don’t rent from them), but here is a story I just happened to read this week. The good side is Alamo addressed the problem and even found other billing errors.

    You shouldn’t have any problems with renting a car in Europe if you go through the normal channels ie expedia etc. There is a company called Sixt http://www.sixt.com/ which I often use in France as they tend to be a little cheaper and shorter lines. Otherwise its the usual international companies you get anywhere in the world. You can of course lease/buy a car which is quite popular alternative to rental, but I’m not sure what the advantages are.
