Extremely frustrated. We showed the rental order stating that insurance was already purchased and no additional insurance was needed to the front desk staff three times and emphasized that we only wanted to pay the amount on the order, yet we were still tricked into adding an unnecessary vehicle rescue insurance. They claimed it would be refunded if the fuel tank was full upon return. This was very upsetting and felt like a scam. During pickup, there was no one to assist us; we had to find our own way to the parking lot. The staff left the counter for a long time, leaving us searching the vast parking lot for an hour. It was a terrible experience.
“Terrible, the car was not cleanded and very dirty. We will not hire car from Europcar in future.”
About Europcar:2.7/10
I picked up the car at Sevilla airport. A male staff highly recommended another model, a MBW 2.20d, for us. He said that the car used diesel and it would has less fuel cost for travelling long distance. Owing to the darkness environment in the carpark, we could not easily identify the dirty situation of the car. After leaving the airport and under the sunlight, we found that the car was very very dirty. There was dust and debris inside the storing spaces at the doors and cabinet, mud on the carpart. Many white spots/paint on all seats. It was very disappointed that such car was not cleaned throughly before giving to customers.
This was a fantastic experience! The only thing a little confusing was finding the pickup spot for the van to take us to the agency but once that was done the rest was a breeze. Patricia was very helpful! She set us up with a great diesel car and explained everything very well. Overall wonderful experience! We'll definitely be back when we return to Sevilla
When I arrived to pick up the car, I was about 40 minutes early. I waited in line for a long time, and when it was finally my turn, they told me that my scheduled pick-up time hadn't arrived yet, and I had to keep waiting. I was waiting with my child, and I don't accept this kind of service. They could have checked if anyone behind me had a tight schedule before making me wait longer.
When it was finally my turn, they tried to sell me various insurances. I showed them the full insurance I had bought on the rental platform, yet they still charged me a 1200-euro pre-authorization.
They stated a 'full tank pick-up, full tank return' policy but directly charged me 81 euros for fuel, saying they would refund it if I returned the car with a full tank. If they had already pre-authorized 1200 euros, why forcibly charge me 81 euros for fuel? Even worse, when I got the car, the fuel tank was not full. It's deceptive, even if the difference was small.
The most unacceptable part was during the rental period, when my car's radiator was damaged on the highway due to a dog suddenly darting out. After calling roadside assistance, the car was towed away, but they said I had to go to a branch 200 km away to get another car with another 1200-euro pre-authorization. I was in Cordoba, a popular tourist city in Spain, and they had no branch there? I ended up with no car even though I paid for the rental.
The next day, I repeatedly confirmed with their customer service if I needed to go to the return branch to complete the necessary procedures, and they said no. However, on the day of the return, I received a call in the afternoon asking me to come and return the car, but the return time had already passed. My car had been towed away a day and a half earlier, and their system failed to update the information in time.
As of now, a week later, the damage assessment is still not confirmed. My 1200-euro pre-authorization and the 81-euro fuel charge haven’t been settled. Ultimately, I had to pay out of pocket for transportation from Cordoba to Seville, as all my planned driving routes were no longer covered.
I suffered significant losses and had a terrible service experience.
OK car rental in Seville was fantastic. Friendly and efficient both on pick up and drop off. Would definitely recommend them to others and will certainly use them again in Spain.
I suggest not to buy QEEQ's full insurance. The deductible is 10,000 yuan, and upon arrival at the rental site, you have to pay an additional 1,000 yuan or so for it to be considered full insurance.
Maria at Seville Santa Justa station was brilliant and should get a medal for counter staff service. We were upgraded and she set the GPS to English for us. In Madrid the service was fast and efficient and we were credit for the extra petrol we returned. Our only problem was the signage at Madrid Terminal 4 which was unhelpful in finding the entrance to Alamo returns.
