Arrived 40 minutes early. Normally, after completing the formalities at Terminal 1, I would rush to the parking lot at Terminal 2. There was no car available. Numerous phone calls were made back and forth, and it took 54 minutes past the scheduled pick-up time to get the car. It really messed up my plans. Returning the car in advance went smoothly.

This EUROPCAR company is extremely terrible. On the Zuzuche platform, it indicated that our credit card would be accepted, but when we arrived at the store, they did not acknowledge it and said that Zuzuche platform had nothing to do with them. As a result, they didn't give us the car, refused to cancel the order, and denied a refund, wasting us thousands of yuan.

Please note that Barcelona airport has two terminals. Make sure to choose the correct one when booking, as they are not well connected.

Our group of four booked a Touran seven-seater online, which was supposed to accommodate four large suitcases. The site showed that the car had seven seats, and the last two seats could be folded down to make more trunk space, which we believed would fit our four suitcases based on past experiences. However, Europcar only provided a Renault five-seater, claiming it could hold four suitcases. When we picked up the car, the staff saw the size of our luggage and we confirmed multiple times if it could fit four suitcases, but the trunk could not accommodate them. We went back to inquire, and they said our booking only included space for four hand luggage items, and that the Renault was in the same class as the car we booked. They suggested switching to a nine-seater Vito, which indeed could fit our luggage and was easier to drive, but this came with an additional fee of 340 euros per day, later reduced to 120 euros per day. We reluctantly accepted and switched to the Vito. After driving for half an hour, we realized the Vito was too large and hard to control, had no rearview camera or sensors, so we returned to request a seven-seater. We ended up with a five-seater Touran instead, which could barely fit our luggage and had no rearview display or sensors. The 120 euro daily fee was not refunded. When we returned the car on April 6, there was a fuel charge of 78 euros, claiming we didn't return the Vito with a full tank. We contested this as the staff didn't inform us about a full-to-full policy, and it was unreasonable to charge 78 euros for a one-hour drive. We drove the Touran for five days and over 1000 km, and refilling the tank near the airport cost only 45 euros. I have requested follow-up from the rental staff, and am very dissatisfied with Europcar.

Car was in a different terminal than where I landed....Europcar was kind enough to bring it to where I was. Though the car was in a usable but damaged condition at various places. They were kind enough to note the same on the contract but I expected to get a car in good condition.

It's relatively expensive...but otherwise smooth.
