Departure from Paris, traveling through Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and returning to Paris

Europcar forced us to buy extra insurance during the rental process. Due to language barriers, it was assumed we agreed by default. This resulted in us paying over 4000 RMB more for insurance. This feels like a consumer trap and makes us question the company's integrity.

The car provided did not match the reservation. The description mentioned it could fit three suitcases, but it could only fit one 24-inch suitcase and one 20-inch suitcase. They kept trying to upsell me on car and insurance upgrades. The car had many scratches on the driver's door.

Low efficiency. Explanations were unclear.

The store is near the airport exit, making it relatively easy to find. After arriving at the store, we waited in line for about 15 minutes. During the procedure, the staff recommended additional insurance but did not force us to buy it. After completing the pickup procedure, we waited for about 15 minutes before the staff handed us the car keys and informed us of the car's location. It took us about 5 minutes to find the car. We had originally booked a Peugeot 5008 (7-seater), but upon pickup, we were upgraded to a Nissan X-Trail (7-seater). The vehicle was relatively new and well-equipped. Although there were a few noticeable scratches on the body that had not been repaired, it did not affect the driving.

I got a very clean and nice car, but: Tires were very used at the front and I got a fine from police. One of the tire was punctured coarsely repaired. I had to replace both tires at the front, as per regulation after having called Europcar. 3 months after, I still didnt get any feedback from them. Very disappointing.
