CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON EUROPCAR IN HOBART

Requested a Mitsubishi ASX specific for its' size but got upgraded to an 7 seater Outlander 4WD. i normally love upgrades but not in this case. The car was too big for the narrow roads we intended to drive and most likely used more fuel than what the ASX would have done.

There was no explanation of the features of the car, on pickup in Hobart. Staff member at Launceston, where we called in and later dropped off the car was excellent. Difficulties with the Cruise Control which was regularly but intermittently failing to activate caused distraction from the task of driving, and the risk of rear-end collision when the car decelerated instead of maintaining Cruise speed. On two occasions, the Cruise Control accelerated the vehicle significantly above the set speed, on level roads. On one occasion, the vehicle accelerated to 20 km/hour above the set speed, before I managed to get the speed under control. As these incidents were around traffic, this was dangerous. On several occasions, the Cruise Control caused the vehicle to suddenly, and swiftly, decelerate from the set speed, as if the driver had braked the vehicle. This nearly resulted in several rear-end accidents. Difficulties with the Cruise Control ruined what was an otherwise great driving experience, and placed up to 4 travellers at risk of accident.

I had privilege of renting brand new car ( 35 miles on tachometer). Besides of 'no problem car', I specially appreciate most effective rent-desk of Europcar at Hobart International Airport - despite of them serving to several clients of arrived flights, and despite of us coming to the desk last, we were all sorted within just fractions of minutes, which is incredible. The same had happened at drop-off, when - while we were still around our car , sorting our own luggage - man from the Europcar was already with us and all was sorted with zero waiting time before we sorted even our own things. That was truly exceptional. Well done, Hobart Europcar!

Thanks for excellent service

THE COUNTER STAFF WERE OVERWHELMED WITH NEED OF CLIENTS TO SHOW PASS PORT DETAILS THIS HELD UP THE FLOW SIGNIFICANTLY

Very helpful counter staff.

Long wait at the counter

Counter staff very helpful, the whole thing went very smoothly

Counter staff looked like he wanted to be somewhere else, completely non-engaged. Very off-putting.

The car was quiet dirty....

They tried their best to help, and were very made at easy rental for the confusion.

Very professional, good quality car and helped out as much as they could despite Easyrentcars mistakes. Would recommend.

Worst experience ever.

Terrible rental company, no car available on the specified date. Zuzuche refused to refund.

The car was too big and drove like a barge.

KIA upgrade

Yes - free upgrade!

Great company and service.

GPS did not work properly - counter staff arranged a no quibble refund.
