1. The staff had poor English skills, making communication difficult.
2. Pickup time was delayed by over 10 minutes from the scheduled time, resulting in an additional charge of over 500 RMB.
3. They surprised us with extra charges at pickup, forcefully adding a bunch of insurances.
4. The tire had a small scratch, and they charged over 2000 RMB, enough to replace it with a new tire.
5. Severe overcharging, taking advantage of out-of-town customers.
“Barcelona Airport - Zaragoza - Segovia - Toledo - Madrid”
About Europcar:8.0/10
Staff at Barcelona airport tried to upsell insurance and charged extra claiming the car we reserved wasn't available. With the help of QEEQ customer service, we eventually got the car we booked. Although the process was convoluted, we were satisfied with the outcome.
“From Valencia to Javea to Madrid Airport, all in one day”
About Europcar:2.0/10
When picking up the car, no staff guided us to the parking spot. They just told us where the car was parked and left us to find it ourselves. No one inspected the car with us, nor did they inform us to take photos. However, when returning the car, they blamed us for old damages. Thank you, shameless company. We had a one-day rental due to catching a flight and returned the car at a different location. All the damages were old, and they even drove the car away before I could take photos for proof, just because we didn't buy their full insurance? Your shamelessness is indeed impressive!
Picked up the car as scheduled, chose a Volkswagen Golf, but ended up with a black sedan Opel full of scratches. Girls wanted a smaller car but they said none were available. Spent over half an hour documenting the damages. Later had to change the car due to a flat tire, got transferred to the train station location where they had more cars. We asked to preview the replacement car and they showed us a picture. However, we ended up with a small Citroen with only 15,000 km, which was different from the picture. The trunk was small and didn't seem as good as the Volkswagen Golf. Language barriers complicated things, but the staff was patient in resolving the issue.
Got the car on schedule, chose a Volkswagen Golf, but received a black sedan, checked and it was an Opel with damage all over. Wanted to switch to a smaller car for a female driver but was told none available. Took over half an hour to document the damages. Later had a flat tire and was transferred to the train station branch with more cars. Asked to upgrade at a cost but was offered a different car after seeing its picture. Ended up with a 15,000 km Citroen, which was different from the picture and had a smaller trunk, not as good as the Golf. Communication issues made it worse, but the staff patiently resolved it.
Not entirely impolite, but the conversation was unpleasant. Diesel cars need to add AdBlue, which is uncommon in China. I didn't know about it, and they should have informed me when I picked up the car to avoid problems later on. I had to contact customer service multiple times, and international calls are expensive! Luckily, I saw the prompt. If I hadn't noticed it, who would have paid for the towing service? I later realized that this thing had to be added continuously. So why not mention it in advance? Tourists from other countries might not be familiar with your car's special requirements! I added AdBlue twice. When I claimed the reimbursement, the counter staff asked me why it was twice. How should I answer that? I could only say that your car prompted me twice! Such unnecessary questions are not needed. I didn't want to add it twice either! Additionally, when charging fees, just charge my credit card in euros. My credit card will handle the conversion. Why convert to dollars? Not only is the exchange rate high, but there are also extra fees!
