Low efficiency. Explanations were unclear.

Long waiting time. Our number was already displayed on the screen, but we still waited for over 10 minutes. Not sure what the staff was doing. During the paperwork, the rental staff kept recommending us to upgrade the car model, costing an extra 85 euros. After we declined, they continued to push for various reasons such as it being flashy, luxurious, and discounted. This made the process very slow. They also kept pushing insurance, resulting in the entire process from queuing to getting the car taking more than an hour! Very dissatisfied.

Other customers (regular Europcar clients) take 5-10 minutes. Our family rented two cars, and it took a total of 1.5 hours! I have records, feel free to verify! There was no line, just very slow processing! For the child seat, they told us to just go directly. When inspecting the car, there was no one in the office; we waited for over ten minutes. When we returned to the front desk, they said the person had gone for lunch!

Pretty good, rented cars a few times, and Europcar was the best among them. AVIS/BUDGET had bad reviews. Europcar clearly and thoroughly explained the additional insurance options, and we could choose whether or not to include them. I made a mistake with BUDGET, not realizing they added insurance and services without my consent and signed the contract without noticing. BUDGET staff seemed intentionally misleading, but I won't go into details. If you're interested, you can message me privately. Even though this is a review for Europcar, I wanted to mention BUDGET. It made me resolve to always give BUDGET a bad review whenever possible. Honestly, I wouldn't be reviewing Europcar if it wasn't to criticize BUDGET.

The actual status of car is provided in the statement of return after vehicle is returned, however the same should be more helpful to be shared at start to make driver aware about existing limitations or damages if any.

Price protector didn't got me any benefit ☺️.
