I thought we were going to get an old, 5-seat compact car. What we ended up with was a Nissan Qashqai SUV with leather seats, lots of room, and GPS navigation. Plus, the car had only 7,000km on it! So it was brand new! It was an excellent car and was great for driving in the mountains.

Overall Europcar is great and the cars provided are amazing, the type of car, the ease of registration, every was nearly perfect. However my only negative comment is during departure from geneva, the staff at the counter at the parking did not help me in my baby chair at all, he just pointed at the chair which was outside the office and i had to carry it, assemble it in the car by myself without guidance so i have to figure it out while he was playing with his phone in the office. I am paying for that service and expected at least some sort of guidance and help to get it to my car. For all those driving parents out there they would know the hassle of figuring out different baby chairs and how to attach them to the seat. Other than that, the staff where i dropped off in Zurich was amazing, i did not get his name but well done to you sir!

There was no queue when picking up the car, it was just us, but the process was slow because they had to check a lot of information. Returning the car was relatively faster. It's the third day since we returned home, and we haven't received the deposit back yet, which is a bit concerning.

Rented the car at Geneva Airport location. The service was pretty good, and there weren't many people when picking up or returning the car. They didn't push to sell insurance, and the procedures were quick and easy. When returning the car, there were some scratches, but they only charged 85 euros, which was quite reasonable and not overcharged. They were also very friendly and even allowed us to use the employees' restroom.

Overall, it was pretty good. Renting a car in Geneva went smoothly and I was given an upgrade. However, returning the car was frustrating because they insisted a mark on the wheel rim was my fault. Thankfully, I had photos to prove otherwise. Make sure to inspect the car carefully.

The car pickup process was smooth, mainly because I had all the necessary documents ready: passport, credit card, and a translated driver's license. It was done very quickly. Considering my long rental duration, they gave me a brand-new car with less than 8,000 kilometers on it. Returning the car was also very convenient. It was at the train station; I parked in the small square in front of the station, and the staff took pictures, signed the paperwork, and drove the car away.

Absolutely love it! The diesel 4WD is amazing to drive, easily hits over 200km/h on Germany's autobahn, and it's super fuel-efficient at just 5.6L per 100km. The space is huge, back seats can even be used as a bed. Handles snow effortlessly, plus it has a seat massage function which makes long trips so comfortable. One tank of fuel covers 1100km!
