Very good, the staff was very friendly, and returning the car was simple. Since we drove carefully, the car was well-maintained, so there were no disputes afterward.
Very dissatisfied:
1) The store selected for car rental was Kiel downtown, the address shown was Dusternbrooker Weg, and there was no specific building number. According to the map, there was no store at this location.
2) Based on the store's name Ostseekai, we went to Ostseekai, but there was no one there. Called customer service and they said Ostseekai is only for people coming off the cruise, and there is usually no one there. However, I did not receive any such reminder when making the reservation.
3) The main store in Kiel sent someone to pick me up, and I successfully rented the car, but the car given to me was a two-door, while my order clearly stated I wanted a four-door. The store staff just said: all our cars have been rented out.
Next time I will choose Enterprise. If the car I want is not available, they'll give you an upgrade rather than a downgrade.
Pickup at Munich Airport: After a ten-hour flight, we arrived at the counter around 11 PM. There were two staff members: a friendly English-speaking lady and a nonchalant German-speaking man. We rented three cars in total. By the time we finished the paperwork and got to the parking lot, it was around midnight. One car's warning light (triangle exclamation mark) came on as soon as we left the parking lot. We returned to the counter, but Europcar had already closed. Luckily, a returning staff member helped us. A series of steps followed: from the counter to the parking lot, determining low oil was the issue, adding oil, but it was still too low. As exchanging the car required logging into the system, and other cars were not yet registered, the staff suggested we go to a gas station to add oil or return the next day if there were issues. We insisted on having the staff accompany us, which proved wise. At the gas station, we couldn't find the specific oil the car needed, despite a full cabinet of oils. We returned to the parking lot and then back to the counter to redo the paperwork for a new car. This whole process delayed us by two hours, and a child got slightly injured bumping into a post during the wait. Experience: Europ's cars are cheap but in average condition. Given our route and need for an automatic transmission, it was the only choice. Another car's warning light came on frequently, indicating low oil. Consider the counter hours and leave extra time. If there's no one at night, it's really helpless—the airport rental counters are empty midnight. Don't believe staff if they say, 'Just observe and deal with it later.' Insist on resolving issues immediately, or it will be more troublesome if problems arise on the road.
