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!
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 Europcar branch in London was relatively easy to find. The staff initially tried to upsell an upgraded vehicle model, but after I clearly declined, they still provided the original model. Overall, it was alright. The car had quite a few scratches, but during the return process, the staff inspected the vehicle very thoroughly.
We arrived a bit later than the scheduled pickup time, yet there were no cars available. After completing the paperwork, we had to wait over ten minutes for the car to return.
