I booked a KIA car with manual transmission for 5 days from Warsaw airport. To avoid any additional deposits I paid for full insurance which was more than the car itself but I accept that's how rental companies work. They blocked additional 100 eur on my account for petrol deposit, no way to avoid this apparently.Upon arrival I was told the car I booked is unavailable and I got another one but with automatic transmission which was not what I wanted, not for everyone that is an "upgrade". Furthermore the car had the driving assistant I couldn't turn off and on narrow roads the car was keep trying to push me to the middle of the road which was extremely dangerous when there were other cars passing. Many times I thought we are gonna crash. I rented many cars all over Europe and it has never been an issue. I'd suggest that setting is optional and not default.
The huge issue only happened a few days after using the car. I went to a very remote village in Poland on Bank holiday, about 4h drive from Warsaw and I couldn't start the car after parking...the battery in the key died and there was no spare one provided. It was a holiday with no shops open, the customer service told me to wait 30 min and try to turn the car off and on few times and see what happens, otherwise I have a problem! I found a person on the car park that had a spare battery and bought it from him, he helped me to replace the battery and the car worked. The whole situation was extremely stressful, I said it again when returning the car and they said they are sorry...but nobody offered a refund for the battery...so my advise is, take one with you if you plan any remote trips, turn it on and off again might not save you!
