It was off-season when we went, so there was no queue. They did offer additional insurance, but it wasn't overly pushy. After giving us the keys, there was no guidance or anyone to take us to the rental car location. The car model was changed in the end and felt somewhat smaller, but my friends decided to accept it, so we didn't push further. It wasn't a very pleasant experience.
The staff was very patient. The originally reserved GLA was unavailable, so they recommended an equivalent X2 and also provided options such as XC60 and GLC for comparison. They also helped double-check the insurance options.
The rental location moved from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2. After various inquiries, we found the rental point at T2, where many car rental companies are located. We took a number and waited, but noticed that people who were ahead of us had left, yet we were not called. The staff helped Western customers who arrived later before us. Finally, after about 40 minutes of waiting (despite many empty counters), we were served. Because we didn't read the details carefully, we booked a manual car instead of an automatic. The car rental desk told us that we had to pay extra for an automatic, so our original 50 euro per day rental increased by 33 euros (originally 80+ euros but discounted to 33 euros). After adding various fees (10 euros per day for an additional driver, 70 euros for crossing into Monaco, 20% tax, etc.), our total changed from 500+ euros to 1041 euros before the process was completed.
We rented a Q3 and were told there was no Q5 available. We impulsively agreed, and the staff didn't mention how much extra it would cost, just handed us the invoice. Later we found out renting the car for the week cost 5000 RMB… Adding an extra driver required an additional fee, and they charged us just because we provided two licenses, assuming we were two drivers. Isn't that unreasonable? Returning the car an hour late incurs a significant fee. Is there a clear standard for these fees, or do they just charge an exorbitant amount for any delay? We won't use Europecar again. After returning and disputing it with the rental company, the results were minimal since we had already paid. It was tough to get anything back.
