I've actually got updated to a KIA CERATO at the pick up! Therefore the above review is for a KIA CERATO and rather than a Hinday Accent (witch I don't recommend)

Europcar were good, although I was charged an international money transfer fee which I don't recall being in the contract. The vehicle was new, but a software glitch produced an airbag warning sign on the dashboard. The car itself was very basic and Mitsubishi really need to upgrade their "clunker" engines.

Waited well over 4 hours upon pick up. Customer Service was very bad from the get go , very rude . Had no customer service skills what so ever , refused to listen to us . It wasn't until my daughter rang head office and a new customer representative started their shift that things finally started progressing.

Car was very new and perfectly clean. Counter at pick-up had a computer glitch which caused a bit of delay, but nothing major to fuss about. All in all a good experience.

It was a little difficult to contact staff. Left messages but did not return call. Had to go to the terminal and find Europcar counter. A lady from next door hire company had to look around the back and told us staff were there and would be out shortly. The customer service girl was very nice and friendly and completed our booking.

Le service a été très lent et long. De plus, on nous a chargé deux jours au lieu de 1. La réservation était pour 9h00 am mais notre avion est arrivée tôt. On nous a donné l'auto vers 8:35 am mais on ne nous a pas dit de retourner pour avant 8h35. Nous avons retourné l'auto à 8:40am le lendemain. Et malgré tout, u e charge de 2 jours. Un vrai vol. De plus, nous sommes retournés au comptoir pour discuter de la situation et la personne ne voulait même pas nous parler et a manqué de respect. Aucun changement ni remboursement. Europcar, c'est fini et nous ne recommanderons jamais.
