Europcar forced us to buy extra insurance during the rental process. Due to language barriers, it was assumed we agreed by default. This resulted in us paying over 4000 RMB more for insurance. This feels like a consumer trap and makes us question the company's integrity.
In simple terms: they tried every possible way to upsell additional services! Then they tried to push higher-priced cars on us, claiming that the car we rented wasn't available. I had booked an automatic, but they gave me a manual. I specifically pointed out the scratches on the car during pickup, but during drop-off, they said there was no record of it, implying the damage was our fault. It was only when I provided the photos taken during pick-up that they waived the charge.
Pretty good, rented cars a few times, and Europcar was the best among them. AVIS/BUDGET had bad reviews. Europcar clearly and thoroughly explained the additional insurance options, and we could choose whether or not to include them. I made a mistake with BUDGET, not realizing they added insurance and services without my consent and signed the contract without noticing. BUDGET staff seemed intentionally misleading, but I won't go into details. If you're interested, you can message me privately. Even though this is a review for Europcar, I wanted to mention BUDGET. It made me resolve to always give BUDGET a bad review whenever possible. Honestly, I wouldn't be reviewing Europcar if it wasn't to criticize BUDGET.
The car was brand new and we enjoyed the overall experience from Pick up the whole drive and drop off
Benjamin the person who assisted us while pick up was very helpful and joyful person
“The overall experience was satisfactory but can always get better further.”
About Europcar:8.0/10
The actual status of car is provided in the statement of return after vehicle is returned, however the same should be more helpful to be shared at start to make driver aware about existing limitations or damages if any.
