Mercedes-Benz B-Class
in Georgia
The technical condition of the car 6/10. The right rear light is broken, taped with adhesive tape, the right brake light did not work, as the on-board computer reported all the time. In addition, the computer all the time reported on the failure (or uncalibration) of the tire pressure sensor and the need for maintenance 86tys. km back. The cabin is clean, there is no smell, the air conditioner was working properly, the passenger detection sensor is faulty in the front passenger seat - when the seat was empty it still signaled that the passenger was not fastened, I had to fasten the belt from scratch so that the squeak did not interfere. At engine speeds above 2500 rpm, the machine vibrated noticeably, the vibration was transmitted to the pedals, but perhaps this is a feature of the model, and not its separate copy. Very upset by the company's fuel policy. Despite the full / full policy stated on the website, the car was given with an almost empty tank, a light bulb was on. The owner commented on this situation that "it is written there on the site, and here it is here" and said where the nearest gas station is. But the fuel level was honestly fixed in the act of receiving a car almost at zero. Since I didn’t know if the stated consumption coincides with the real one and how much fuel will be needed for the planned route, I had to fill a full tank, which cost 142 GEL. When you return the car, a little more than half the tank remains, i.e. about 70 GEL fuel, which I did not compensate. With a total rental cost of 210 GEL, an overpayment of more than 30% came out. Also in the tank there was no washing liquid at all, but the sensor did not show it - apparently, it was also faulty. I had to drive for a while with dirty glass, until we got to the gas station, where we bought the washing liquid for 5 GEL, which, when returning the car, had almost a full tank. The provided child car seat was an unidentified manufacturer, of course, without any certificates (I didn’t even ask them), but the worst thing was that there was no instructions on how to properly secure the chair, the owner didn’t know how to attach it, or find instructions on the Internet It was possible because of the complete absence of any mention of the manufacturer or model on the chair. Secure at your own risk.
We managed to drive along the planned route, the car did it, but I cannot recommend this rental company.
