The Europcar staff provided excellent service. My English is not very good, but the staff used gestures while explaining and wrote down the key information. They asked me repeatedly if I understood or needed further translation.
1. We weren't informed that we needed a pass for crossing the border, only told to show relevant documents to the police if needed, resulting in a 150 Euro fine.
2. The amount charged didn't match what was told at the location, they overcharged us by more than 3500.
Due to the rental company's shortcomings, the vehicle wasn't ready, making us wait for over half an hour. They also failed to point out previous scratches and accidents; the car was covered in water spots after washing, so we had to inspect it ourselves.
The car pickup process was very unpleasant. The rental company staff was unwelcoming, and didn't show any effort to understand the address in Chinese Pinyin. He impatiently directed me to the garage, which was located in a public parking lot next to the Ritz-Carlton.
This was my first time driving in Europe, and I was worried about being scammed by the car rental company. However, the staff at Europcar in Austria and the Czech Republic were nice and patient. They also upgraded my car. During the return in the Czech Republic, the staff inspected the car and signed off.
The store in the center of Vienna is very convenient, with car pickup in the adjacent garage, but the garage staff can be hard to find. Once the car is picked up without issues, you can leave directly. Driving was limited to Austria with a provided highway ticket. Returning the car was near Salzburg train station, which required a bit of walking, but self-service return was supported. Overall, it was satisfactory. However, the cancellation of the credit card pre-authorization took a bit long.
