First Time Renting a Car Abroad: Read the Pickup Guide Carefully

The store is located in the city, and the parking lot is right next door. After completing the procedures, you can pick up the car by yourself, which is very convenient. We drove from Vienna to Prague, the car was in great condition, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. There is a dedicated car return area at Prague airport, and the staff are very efficient, taking only 5 minutes!

The staff was a bit strict, but very competent.

This was my first time driving in Europe, and I was worried about being scammed by the car rental company. However, the staff at Europcar in Austria and the Czech Republic were nice and patient. They also upgraded my car. During the return in the Czech Republic, the staff inspected the car and signed off.

I originally booked a POLO online, but when I arrived at the store, they said the car I booked was too small for three people and asked if I wanted to change the car. I went to the parking lot to check, and they had arranged a FIAT500 for me, a two-door small car, and the back seats couldn't accommodate anyone. After further communication, they finally replaced it with a POLO. It's so strange, couldn't they see the model I booked in the order? There was a language barrier, so I couldn't argue with them, which wasted a lot of time. I am not very satisfied with this service.
