There were four adults and five suitcases. Initially, we booked a Mercedes C-Class wagon, but Europcar provided an Audi A4 wagon instead. We were concerned that the A4's trunk wouldn't fit all our luggage. After some persuasion from the staff, we decided to pay extra to upgrade to a Jaguar XF wagon. The staff were very polite and did not pressure us into upgrading. Therefore, I am very satisfied with the company's service this time.
When we arrived at the rental location, we were told there were no automatic cars available and were directed to rent on-site from another car company. After extensive negotiations, we were instructed to go to the airport to pick up the car ourselves. Upon arrival, we were further delayed and charged an extra 69 euros for airport parking. Overall, the service was inefficient, the staff were rude, and the experience was unreliable.
The engine failed to start twice: The first time was the day after renting the car, in the parking garage of the exhibition hall, it would not start. I called, but both breakdown numbers on the car key were unreachable and automatically disconnected! I tried the phone number on the rental platform, and after several transfers and explaining the situation, we waited for about an hour for assistance. During this time, I kept trying to start the car. Shortly after the phone contact, it miraculously started. Due to our tight schedule, returning to the airport to exchange cars was not an option, so we agreed that if it happened again, we would stop using the car. Miraculously, after four days, on the last day, while on our way to the airport, we stopped at a gas station to fill up the tank before return. After refueling, the car wouldn't start again! Tried all the phone numbers on the key and the rental company number, but none worked. The rental platform's phone said they couldn't help and asked us to call the breakdown number. Rushing to catch a flight, after about forty minutes of attempting to start it, it worked again! The car had only around 7,000 kilometers and was a 2018 model, so it should have been in good condition, but it was definitely a problematic car! Originally rented a Volvo V40, but was told at pickup that it was upgraded to a Jeep Wrangler. I thought I was lucky, but later felt it was a trap! It was a scary experience!
They didn't provide the originally booked car. The only options were to upgrade at a higher price or accept a cheaper vehicle without any refund for the difference. The staff had a poor attitude, like we owed them a fortune. Despite having more staff than customers on site, only one desk was open, making the process very slow.
1. There was no information indicating an additional airport fee of 21 euros;
2. At the airport, I was informed that I was not old enough to drive the specified model, which contradicts the information in the app;
3. When placing the order, it was mentioned that a phone holder would be provided, but there was none upon picking up the car;
4. The service staff had an accent which made the experience very unpleasant;
I booked a Volvo S40, but when I arrived, I was informed it wasn't available because I was late. Am I supposed to precisely predict if the flight will be delayed? After some hassle, they gave me a Jeep Wrangler. Its fuel consumption is very inefficient, but at least the staff had a decent attitude.
