When traveling through NZ, was NEVER told that needed to change cars at the ferry, between the north and south island. Had to change all my ferry bookings at the last minute. Absolute nightmare of an experience and neither Europcar nor Easyrentcars.com wanted to take the blame for the lack of notice. VERY unimpressed with both. Would have rented from other companies if rentals hadn't been sold out.
“Car pick up totally not my booked type, no similar car type provided”
About Europcar:7.3/10
I have even spent more money to book my desire medium SUV car with brand Chevrolet Equinox. However, I could only be offered a Holden Commodore (not a SUV at all) when I picked up my car. The staff explained to me that the car was broken in accident. Anyway, I known accident is unavoidable, but I wonder why don't the staff arrange similar car for me? Its totally not a sport car type that I wanted. And no any notification to me, and I have no better choice other than that. So disappointed to my trip in these few day. Hopefullly it has not affected my trip, but feel something lose.
But the staff services are good overall!
We'd booked a Toyota RAV 4 auto (or equivalent) but were given a Nissan Quashquai (on the South Island) which is smaller than a RAV 4. For the North Island we got a Kia Sportage which wasn't as clean as it could have been.

Excellent service and email communication throughout.
Booked a large 4x4 SUV but got a small 2wd instead. Couldn't give us a good reason why we couldn't get the vehicle we booked. Their vacuum cleaner didn't work. And had no staff.
Very shambolic. A bad experience.

Good. But wondering if we missed a message from Europcar to earn that they couldn't fulfil their vehicle obligation.
The car was fantastic. The staff at check were good but there were not enough of them. There was a high volume of people picking up cars on arrival with only 2 staff on the counter. Wait time of almost 1 hour and 30 mins was not ideal after long flights and 2 young children.

Great service!
Look forward to using you again in the future!
We arrived to find the car we had booked wasn’t available
They offered us an “upgrade” to a compact car or the 8 seat people mover we ended up with
When asked about the car we booked we were told it wasn’t available and the only cars available were the compact and a couple of people movers.
We ended up taking the people mover as we had two small girls with us
The booster seats that I had emailed to confirm that they would be installed had to still be installed before we could go to the car
It was a stressful start to our holiday and some people in line wouldn’t have been getting a car at all
It was a terrible experience when you pay for a small SUV and you get a sedan and you are told its a similar vehicle.
The staff had no interest or care, all they kept saying is it has 5 seats and can hold your bags.

If you are going to let people book a SUV can you atleast make sure it comes with some sort of guarantee that your customers dont end up in a sedan. If I wanted a sedan, I would have booked a sedan and saved money. Im writing this review and I kind of know there is no hope in hell anything is going to come of it, but I have to try.
It was a little bit confusing what to do when returning the car at the airport. There were nobody to ask or there was no information where to leave the car and what to do next. But at the end - all good :).
“Great car shame on them about the paperwork, double dipping payment & held $$ and overcharging.”
About Europcar:9.0/10
Disappointed as they have overcharged me. Booking was for NZ$316.83 (AU$302.83) + $200 bond, So AU$502.83 was frozen on credit card. But when I returned the car they charged my card with NZ$373.83 instead of the $316.83, petrol was filled there was no reason to take any extra. Invoice still has not been supplied despite requested. Further they were still holding the AU$502.83 a week later in pending as well as being paid on the 17th for the car. So they had double dipped my card for 5 working days overdrawing it as well as taking an extra $57 with no explanation.
The car was expected my expectation in a positive way as I was upgraded to a larger SUV which is nice and spacious.
It took awhile to queue to pick up the car. I think it could do it better with more staffs.
Basically service was good. There were two staff working. One was super helpful and friendly, the other needs more training, I think. He didn’t know how to install the child car seat. We ordered a car seat in advance, so we were a bit annoyed to find that it hadn’t been installed before we arrived to pick up the car. Other than that we had a very good experience.
