Horrible! Rushed out upon arrival as didn't want the counter staff to wait too long. Keys were provided, told where to go and rental agreement signed. Was not shown to the car to perform checking of the car together. Just asked to take photos to protect myself. Upon finding the car, realized that car seat was not installed or even provided although I already remarked in my booking. Went back to the counter which was already closed and empty. Amazing that no one among the other car rental booths had the Europcar employees mobile number and no number was left pinned somewhere at the counter. Called the careline who made me wait so long on the line (I was on international roaming!), arguing with me (WHO WAS IN FRONT OF THE COUNTER) that the counter at Avalon should still be open and finally telling me they couldn't do anything. I needed to get another car seat from another Europcar branch the next day! A TODDLER TRAVELLING WITHOUT A CAR SEAT IN AUSTRALIA IS ILLEGAL!!!! Luckily for me, the staff at Hertz next door saved my day by obtaining a spare car seat for me! First and last time renting from Europcar.

Pickup was fine, but returning the car was a hassle. There was no onsite inspection unlike other companies. Nobody was there from the company, and the instructions on where to park were unclear. I had to ask staff from other companies to finally find the parking spot.

The process of renting and returning the car was very smooth. Especially when returning the car, the staff just checked for damages and fuel, and we were good to go, it was super fast! When renting, our flight was delayed, but the staff extended the return time accordingly, which was very considerate and thoughtful!

Due to the language barrier, communication wasn't very smooth. We arrived more than half an hour early to pick up the car. During the pre-authorization, an extra day's rental fee was directly pre-authorized (originally 100 AUD, actually 182.07 AUD). We only realized this after the payment was processed. Upon inquiry, they said that 82.07 AUD is an extra day's rental fee, which would be refunded if we return the car within the allowed time (even if it's half an hour earlier). If we exceed the time, the fee would be deducted. It would have been more acceptable if we had been informed before the payment.

Pick-up and drop-off are relatively easy, but an extra AUD 276 was charged during the rental, which I don't understand as it exceeded the booking cost by EUR 50 without any expense statement.
