I have used Zuzuche several times, but this was my first time with Europcar, and it was a very unpleasant experience.
I had to wait in line for nearly an hour to pick up the car. The price difference caused by the prepayment was blamed on a discrepancy between their system and the agent's (Zuzuche) pricing, amounting to more than 50 euros. I had to pay their price to get the car. Even the supervisor didn’t take a detailed look or care about the discrepancy and wouldn’t answer the call from Zuzuche's representative in China. Otherwise, they wouldn't give me the car.
When picking up the car, it wasn't the one I originally booked, and I wanted to confirm if it could fit our luggage. They rudely said it was the only car left, take it or leave it.
On the 14th, returning the car went smoothly. Someone checked the car at the drop-off point, I signed a form, and there were no issues.
When it came to billing, a few days later, my credit card statement showed the prepayment deducted, but it was charged in dollars instead of euros, and they calculated it in some unknown way. I have asked Zuzuche about this several times with no response yet. Very dissatisfied.
The pickup location was easy to find and picking up the car was convenient. I booked a Citroën but was provided a Mercedes-Benz C180 Estate. While the car was slightly small for three large suitcases, its condition was great and the driving experience was excellent.
When picking up the car, I was told that the reserved car was no longer available because I arrived two hours late, and I had to pay extra to upgrade—an additional €63 per day, which was quite expensive. The store also tries to push their insurance, but if you’ve already purchased full coverage on Zuzuche, there’s really no need to consider buying insurance abroad.
When picking up the car at the store, I was informed that only Audi was available. Since I'm not familiar with Audi's operating system, I insisted on wanting a Mercedes. Later, they said they had Mercedes, but it required an upgrade. I asked how much the upgrade would cost per day and was told it was 25 euros extra daily. Considering the additional cost of 100 euros for four days seemed acceptable, but when the invoice was issued, it turned out the amount was not inclusive of tax. With tax, the total additional cost was 140 euros, and the car price went from 230 euros to 415 euros. Suggestion: Avoid upgrading on-site if possible. Regarding the car return, the train station is undergoing partial construction, and the return location was changed to the parking garage at the back. The address provided in the return instructions was inaccurate. You have to keep driving to the top level and look for the Eurocar signage, but there were no clear signs below. The service counter staff inside the train station is often absent, and every time you need to ask something, it takes over ten minutes of waiting. Other than the car being satisfactory, there’s not much to praise.
