Very satisfied. We were given a Volkswagen Taigo with only 900 km on it, almost brand new. It was easy to drive, though a bit underpowered. The car had enough space for two people and two large suitcases. The rear seats could be folded down to connect with the trunk. Europcar provided excellent service. There were no upsell attempts, and they sincerely advised us that we didn't need to pay for additional options. Returning the car was quick—just drop off the keys, and the credit card hold was released immediately. Inside the car, a type-C charging cable is required to charge your phone.
The staff at the Europcar desk and inspection personnel at Belgrade Airport were very friendly. Their English was clear and easy to understand. The car was almost brand new, having only driven over 2000 kilometers; we drove nearly 5000 kilometers. There was no push to sell insurance when picking up the car, and the return inspection was quick, then they said 'everything is ok.'
1. The counter staff was not particularly friendly and seemed somewhat arrogant towards Chinese tourists, possibly due to previous negative experiences with other tourists.
2. The return inspection was extremely thorough, with three rounds outside, three rounds inside, using hands and lights, but no damage was found. Possibly because: firstly, we took great care during use, avoiding bumps; secondly, we spent around 1000 local currency (about 60 RMB) to clean the car before returning it; thirdly, the car was not cleaned when we picked it up, it even had bird droppings, and the staff wanted to return it based on the previously marked damage list, but we insisted on rechecking and found at least three traces, which we recorded to avoid issues during return.
3. Conflicts arise from cultural differences, but mutual understanding is key, even with overseas car rentals. We respect others, and they will respect us.
I personally think that those who don't purchase full insurance are checked more thoroughly because, in the logic of the locals: 'If you don't buy full insurance and there's hidden damage, how can I know? Therefore, I must be more meticulous in my inspection.' This is understandable and possibly due to previous distrust caused by dishonest renters.
The car pickup and return processes were convenient and fast. The staff carefully pointed out existing flaws when handing over the car. The return was very quick and not inspected in front of us, but after returning to our country, we received an email stating there were scratches and charged 240 euros. Fortunately, we had insurance, so there was no personal loss.
