Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 676 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Customers frequently state that the vehicles are clean, modern, and very pleasant to drive during their trips. Many people also appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, and describe the overall car collection process as fast and easy. However, some customers also noted unexpected charges and high security deposits held for months after the rental period. A few other people also felt that additional fees for cross-border travel or disputed damages were completely disproportionate. Reviewers occasionally experienced long waiting times or communication issues at the front desk when arriving at the station.

with the car all was ok. but it took more than 3 weeks to get the deposit back, which is very long. especially that I rent cars very often so when it adds up its a very large amount just in deposits.... See more

Pick up was not good! The car was dirty outside and inside was not completely cleaned. Windshield water was empty and fuel tank was said was 3/4 but when I checked was litle less than 3/4.

The service I received was great both…

The service I received was great both on pick-up and with the car return.
The only thing that wasn't easy was finding the pick-up place in the airport, maybe if you could provide explanation in the order email.

Experience was good

Experience was good, my only critique is that I didnt get any confirmation that the car had been properly returned and that the hold on my credit card would be released. It was fine in the end, but some information for the customer would be great. I was left hoping that I had done everything correctly.

PREDATORY RENTAL COMPANY

PREDATORY RENTAL COMPANY - CARD FRAUD & BREACH OF INSURANCE CONTRACT!DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY! Austrauto GmbH (Dryyve Vienna) is engaging in illegal financial manipulation and predatory billing. I rented a car for 1 day. At the counter, I paid 68.61 EUR specifically for their Super Collision Damage Waiver (ZICDW) and vignette to ensure full protection. They delivered the car in a dark, pitch-black underground parking garage where it was impossible to inspect minor plastic scuffs. After returning the vehicle, they completely ignored the full insurance package I purchased from them and forced an unauthorized debit of 468.00 EUR on my credit card for a tiny, unproven cosmetic scratch on a plastic wheel arch trim. They charged a 349 EUR excess fee plus an abusive 99 EUR "admin fee" for a scratch I categorically DID NOT cause! This is a complete scam—they sell you full insurance at the desk, and then charge you full damage fees anyway. A formal cross-border fraud complaint has been filed with the European Consumer Centre (ECC Austria) and my bank has opened an official chargeback investigation for commercial fraud. Stay away from Dryyve if you want to protect your money!

Complaint regarding my recent rental experience in Vienna.

I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding my recent rental experience in Vienna:

Booking confirmation: 759834308
Pickup: Friday, 31 July 2026 – booked for 9:00 AM, vehicle received at 10:00 AM
Return: Friday, 7 August 2026 at 10:00 AM

My main concern is the €355 additional insurance charge I was required to pay because I did not have an International Driving Permit. This requirement was not clearly highlighted during the booking process. Such an important condition should be communicated clearly from the start, rather than requiring customers to search through several pages of terms and conditions.

I hold a valid UAE driving licence and have rented cars across Europe, including Italy and Poland, without ever being asked for an International Driving Permit.

The pickup experience was also disappointing. The staff member handling my paperwork was unprofessional and somewhat rude, and despite my 9:00 AM appointment, I received the car at 10:00 AM. I would suggest having more staff available to avoid such delays. On the positive side, the return process was smooth and efficient.

Finally, I was informed that my deposit would be returned within 5 working days, but it was only returned on 4 September 2026, nearly one month after returning the car.

Considering the above, I am requesting the full refund of the €355 additional insurance charge as soon as possible.

I look forward to your prompt response and a satisfactory resolution. I believe in giving companies the opportunity to address concerns directly before sharing my experience publicly through social media and other review channels.

All good

All good, nice staff, and helpful. No messing with the vehicle- we took photos of everything before we left an emailed them to Dryyve. No funny business which was very good. All in all a good service.

You have charged me €200

You have charged me €200 for traffic offences that never took place. I have asked you for supporting documents, which you have never provided.
Furthermore, you used my bank card with my PIN. Now I am forced to lodge a complaint with my bank regarding PIN theft and fraud. So thank you for all this extra administrative hassle – I really needed that.
