The price of 200 RMB per day is the first time I got a car that has already driven 137,000 kilometers! The condition of the car was terrible. On the highway, it couldn't accelerate to 80 km/h, and with the air conditioner on, it couldn't speed up at all. On the slightly uphill road to Patong, it couldn't go over 20 km/h! A long line of cars was stuck behind, which was very embarrassing and dangerous as the slow speed forced the cars behind to keep changing lanes and overtake.
Additionally, because this car was very old, even after refueling to full before returning it, the fuel gauge only showed less than two-thirds full. The nearest gas station to the airport return point was less than 1.8 km away but it took a long time to communicate with the staff. Although they believed the fuel was full after verifying the receipt and refueling time, this situation undeniably caused me trouble!
Moreover, the staff at the rental company was not very capable. I arrived at the rental office at around 11 PM and spent 20 minutes waiting. They couldn't find my order even after checking my passport in the system. Then, another employee suddenly found my printed order with my name on it on the desk, right in front of them!
Overall, this car rental experience was extremely poor!
The worst rental experience ever. Couldn't find the company upon arrival, and no one answered the phone. Ended up waiting for a long time with children late at night. Signed a bunch of contracts and paid a deposit. During our rental period, we had a flat tire and replaced it at a local repair shop. We couldn't find the same brand tire, so we used a different one. After returning to our country, we were charged over 700 RMB because the tire wasn't the same brand. Multiple appeals to the platform were rejected. The after-sales service on other platforms like Ctrip and Fliggy has always been excellent. Never using this platform again. Everyone, be cautious, especially for international travel, with language barriers, they make you sign, and then deduct your deposit after you return. Stick to big platforms with better service.
Other car rental companies allow differences between the driver's name and the credit card holder's name for the deposit without any issue. However, this company requires both names to match, otherwise, you have to pay an extra 2000 THB. If not, you can't pick up the car.
At Phuket Airport Gate 2, since there's no dedicated counter, you need to call the staff to come and assist. If your English isn't good, you may need help from Thai service staff to make the call.
“Terrible experience with Europcar staff and attitude. False charges and deduction.”
About Europcar:3.0/10
The car provided to us was damaged but still we accepted it since we were in hurry, and I even made video of it, later on while returning they charged me for the damages which I didn't do and deducted from the deposit.
Staff was terrible and she even lied to their supervisor right in front of us that I damaged the car. They charged extra as a service charge as well which was nowhere mentioned.
