The reserved car was old and didn't have CarPlay; I was forced to pay an extra $20 a day to switch to a different car. They also charged me an extra day when I returned the car!
The local company Fox in Los Angeles is quite problematic. Europecar partners with Fox locally and they will try to charge you additional fees at pickup, telling you there are no cars available unless you pay more. There were many people at the door complaining about why they couldn't pick up their reserved cars. The staff explained that making a reservation only guarantees you can come to the store, not that you will get a car. Also, I returned the car with a full tank, but I was still charged over 20 USD.
During the paperwork process, the Hertz agent from Asia had a constant smile but also tried to persuade me to buy additional insurance and even encouraged an upgrade. Even though I had already purchased full insurance, he still claimed that I didn’t have roadside assistance. After repeatedly emphasizing that I had bought all the necessary insurance, he finally directed me to the car lot. Be cautious, as this is another potential pitfall. There were about five or six different cars parked, but only two of them were actually available for me. The others required an upgrade (if you accidentally took one, you might get stopped when leaving, wasting a lot of time). After taking several photos and confirming repeatedly, I finally got my car (there was no Ford Focus as I had reserved). Instead, I got a Kia Forte, which turned out to be nice to drive with lane-keeping assist. Driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas was stress-free. American drivers are very disciplined, making the experience very enjoyable.
Took forever to get my car at LAX. Had to change vehicles a few days into the rental, at which point LAX changed my return time in SF. But when I arrived on schedule to drop off in downtown SF, the office was closed. Apparently LAX didnt know the closing time in SF. Had to go back to SF office 7am the next morning, but Thrifty charged me an extra day and a late fee - $91.33. I followed their instructions and they charge ME money for a THIRFTY MISTAKE. I am still trying to get my refund. Will never use Thrifty again.
El edificio donde se situaba Europcar fue un poco difícil de encontrar ya que no está bien señalizado, pero el mostrador para realizar la gestión del coche si. Además, sigo sin recibir la devolución del depósito que deje como fianza del coche
Overall satisfactory, but the sales representative was not aware that we had already purchased full insurance through QEEQ and still tried hard to sell us additional insurance, even asking the platform staff to call him! Luckily, I firmly explained that we already had full insurance, which was not visible in their system, and the sales representative relented. At the car lot, you can choose your vehicle yourself, though it may not be the exact model you had in mind; it will be from the same series. We ended up with a Nissan mid-sized car, which performed well and was easy to drive!
The car return process was quick and the service attitude was great. Especially during the car rental, the staff were very friendly and chatty. However, after returning the car, I received an email about being charged 9 units for something.
