I landed at 8 AM and booked the car online, but when I reached the rental point, they said I had to wait 3 hours for the car because it was a last-minute booking. However, the online system confirmed immediate pickup. This caused me to cancel, and I had to deal with a series of issues regarding the prepaid amount online.
The service attitude was excellent. I was given a new Skoda Kamio with 16.9km mileage, the car was efficient and fuel-saving! French people have a typical style - they start work late!
We chose the Passat manual transmission group, and we were pleased when the staff at Charles de Gaulle Airport helped us arrange an Opel Insignia station wagon (similar to the Buick Regal in China, but a bit bigger with a larger trunk space). We had four suitcases for two adults and two children, which fit perfectly in the trunk. If it were a sedan Passat or Regal, they definitely wouldn't have fit. Thumbs up to the team here. The car was very new, with only a few thousand kilometers on it and very clean. It had manual transmission, no sunroof, but came with all the advanced features like rearview camera, distance alarms on all sides, lane change warning, automatic headlights, automatic wipers, dual-zone climate control, etc. The car's built-in navigation supports English and was very accurate. As long as you have the detailed address, the navigation is very useful with comprehensive traffic signs. We drove over 2000 kilometers, reaching close to 200 km/h in Germany without experiencing noise or vibrations. Plus, the diesel engine was very fuel-efficient. Overall, we were very satisfied with the vehicle and service.
I wanted to experience the European version of a car. I initially booked a Toyota Yaris (completely different from the one in China), but ended up with a Peugeot 208. Since this car isn't available in China, I gladly accepted it. The staff was friendly and efficient. It was my first time renting a car in a developed country. The paperwork was completed quickly, and they handed me the keys and pointed out the parking spot. No one helped me find, inspect, or check the car. Although the car was supposed to have a full tank, it was actually half a gauge short. I'm not sure if this is normal. It was quite challenging to drive out of Charles de Gaulle Airport's rental area (mainly because I don't understand French), as the signs were unclear. It took me two loops around the terminal ramps to finally get out. Overall, I still highly recommend EUROPCAR's service.
Everything went smoothly, the counter is right outside Terminal 1. However, the efficiency was typical of France, very slow. What normally takes 5 minutes took nearly an hour, waiting for the paperwork and then the keys... I was assisted by a black gentleman with a very heavy accent, which was challenging for my not-so-good English. When returning the car, I was assisted by a white gentleman. The return process was simple, just hand over the keys, done in ten seconds.
