Quick and essy

Very quick and easy booking process

There was a double charge issue. I had already paid in full on the rental website, but was charged an additional £250 rental fee and £252 deposit for damages when picking up the car. I told them I had already paid to the rental company, and they said it was a deposit. My understanding was that the deposit would be refunded upon returning the car. I contacted the rental company, and customer service assured me it was a pre-authorization and I should just pick up the car. Upon return, the damage deposit was refunded, but the £250 rental fee was not. The car company said the rental company would refund me. I called the rental company to report the issue, and the customer service mentioned they would handle it after the New Year holiday. Needing to catch a flight, I returned the car and left. Now 10 days have passed, and the car company is still verifying the issue. It seems the process in the UK is quite slow.

Our rental was from Cardiff Airport - unfortunately not the largest airport, therefore a little understaffed. Through no fault of the staff member, he was on his own to process Pick-Up's, Returns, Cleaning and all other related duties at a car hire counter. In my opinion Europcar should have a minimum of 2 members of staff on duty at all times. As always, the vehicles available are excellent, the rental process simple and effortless - will always use Europcar if price allows it

As always, a simple and easy way to save money on car rentals. Only one slight moan - I'm requested to 'upload' rental agreement//Invoice after rental has been completed to gain QEEQ Points, This should not be necessary and be done away with, points added automatically. A small moan on an otherwise excellent website service

Did not get car I asked for was only disappointing part but this is the case with every hire company

Like: Pleasantly surprised by how helpful the Europcar office staff were with limited upsell.
Dislike: I got slightly confused at Heathrow T2 over which bus stop to use for the shuttle - some better signage that can be seen at a distance would help.
