The staff was rude. I wanted to add comprehensive insurance, but they didn't let me. At first, they tricked me into thinking it was added, but I later discovered it wasn't. They were rushing to finish work and didn't want the hassle. Such staff doesn't care about customer safety, which is very selfish. Insurance is not a trivial matter. When I went back the next day to add it, they said it wasn't possible unless I canceled and rebooked, going through all the procedures like refueling and vehicle inspection again. The most frustrating part was that if I canceled, I wouldn't get a refund for the 16-day rental fee! This was the most unpleasant day of our entire trip! Moreover, the employee gave us a different model than we booked and didn't provide any details. I had to ask about everything, even what type of fuel to use. All he cared about was ‘getting off work.’ We spent the entire day at the store without solving the problem, wasting a whole day. Additionally, the rental company didn't support us in this matter, and we felt bullied. We are extremely dissatisfied. As an experienced traveler, I kindly advise everyone to choose your rental company carefully. A company without good service can ruin your entire trip.

Simple procedures, no hard sell for extra insurance.

Picked up the car at Munich Airport in Germany. The instructions differed slightly from what we found online, which was confusing. Asked at the information desk and then saw the signs. Took a number, waited in line, showed our documents, and were done very quickly.

First, the front desk staff were impatient and not friendly. Poor service. Second, I asked for a car with more space at pickup and tried to communicate this several times, but the front desk refused. Another thumbs down. Third, I reluctantly took the car. Upon inspection, I found a small dent on the rear bumper, took a photo, and informed the front desk staff who told me it was fine and didn't note it. When returning the car (which had no incidents during use), the staff blamed us for the dent. Even after showing the pickup photos, they ignored our explanation and recorded it as our fault. Thumbs down again.

Pick up of car in a dark car park - hard to see any damage. There was damage on the wheel trims, which I took a photo of. The drop off location was very well lit, and the Europcar team said the wheel damage was caused by us. Fortunately I was able to show the photo evidence of the damage being there on pick up, but thought that the whole process was corrupt by Europcar. With the dark car park for pick up so we can't easily see damage when we pick up, but very well lit to help them in the drop off car park. Probably will not use Europcar again in the future - for this dirty con trick they tried.
