Very satisfied

The car rental company is pretty good.

The service is acceptable, and the paperwork was processed quickly.

We picked up the car near the Galeries Lafayette in Paris, then went to a nearby parking area for a self-service pickup. There were no inspection procedures. For the return, we dropped it off at Charles de Gaulle Airport without any checks. We just parked it in the car rental area of the airport, noted the parking spot, and that was it. The return time was based on the pick-up time. Our booking said pick-up at 8:00 AM, but we actually picked it up at 9:00 AM. Not only did they not charge us any late fees, but they also changed the original return time from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. Awesome! The only downside is that the deposit refund takes quite long, about 60 days. We rented the car for a total of 11 days, with a deposit of nearly 567 euros.

Like: Where Ryanair use frankly baffling language and terms to confuse what can and can't be taken as booster seats the team at Europcar were exactly the opposite. One email to the head office resulted in a chain of helpful emails and a member of the team to meet us with a choice of booster seats. The staff were friendly and helpful, the car was great and the handovers swift and painless.
