The overall service was quite satisfactory. The car pickup process was relatively simple, but it required two non-UnionPay credit cards for the deposit. Returning the car was also very convenient. If there was no accident and the tank was full, just return it as is. Staff will check the fuel level and inspect the car body. That’s it for the return!
The contract stated to pick up and return the car with a full tank, but after driving for a bit, I realized it only had 3/4 of a tank. I couldn't be bothered to go back and argue, but it does raise trust concerns.
It took an extremely long time, and the type of car provided was completely different from what was promised. The car had a lot of scratches and was in poor condition.
We reserved a Mercedes A-Class automatic, but the store had no stock and replaced it with a BMW 1 Series manual, which we refused. They then upgraded us to a GLB, but there was a £300 upgrade fee. At pickup, they said the fee would be refunded when we returned the car. However, at drop-off, they denied it. The inspector claimed I had signed for it, and the salesperson avoided me the entire time. The store manager brushed me off, and they refused to check the surveillance footage. Extremely poor experience.
The experience was okay. I rented a Volvo V60, but initially, they offered a Kia. After some negotiation, they provided a BMW 1 Series... Everything else was fine.
I have rented cars abroad many times in Europe, but my experience with Europcar in London was exceptionally troublesome and disappointing. I strongly advise against choosing this company in London. From the very beginning, the car pickup staff try to sell insurance and make intimidating remarks, followed by complicated processes involving various fines, and ending with a series of email hassles related to returning the car. For such a large company, their London branch is full of pitfalls, fines, and inexplicable issues that will cause you significant trouble. The service and overall experience are extremely poor. Among all the car rental companies I have used many times, this one is by far the most frustrating and stressful. Renting a car is supposed to enhance convenience, especially when traveling abroad where there may already be language barriers, but this company will ensure you deal with endless issues during your trip. Choose wisely, and I strongly suggest avoiding this company in London.
Although my flight was delayed, they kept the vehicle for me. However, they still tried to sell me driving insurance. The fuel tank was only half full, so I had to refuel before hitting the road.
The car rental company operates quite professionally. At the airport, you need to ask the staff for directions as the location of the shuttle bus may have changed. I experienced a parking lot scratch, which was my fault. According to the policy, I needed to report it to the police, but without a dispute, the police wouldn't intervene. Calling both the emergency number and the rental company proved ineffective. The Avis locations near Oxford shown on Google Maps were all closed. Fortunately, the QEEQ platform offers 24/7 support. They advised me to use the online reporting platform to file the information and confirmed that police intervention was unnecessary. When returning the car, the Avis staff inspected it quickly, and £500 was directly charged to my credit card without requiring my signature. Thankfully, I had purchased supplementary insurance back in my home country. After providing photos and relevant information, QEEQ promptly processed the claim. This was my first time encountering an accident during a multi-country self-drive trip, but thanks to the supplementary insurance and QEEQ's reliable service, the situation was manageable. Much appreciated.
