They won't give you the car even one minute before 7 AM, even though staff are already inside.

Sometimes the queue at the counter is very long, sometimes it's completely empty. It depends on the time; on average, the wait is 10 to 20 minutes. The service attitude is alright; some are very business-like, and some are more eager to help. Encountering a good employee is a matter of luck.

This time we rented a car from Europcar, a well-established European car rental company. We picked up the car at Frankfurt Airport in Germany. The car was very new, and we didn’t encounter any forced insurance sales. Despite our not-so-great English, the counter staff was very patient with us and provided good service. We returned the car at a drop-off point in downtown Vienna. Since it was a Saturday and the rental company was closed, we followed the instructions for self-service return, parked the car in the designated spot, and dropped the keys in the box. The pick-up and return process went very smoothly.

Very good.

The rental company made a mistake with the terminal. I booked a Passat, but they gave me a Peugeot 3008 instead. It seems the Peugeot 3008 is cheaper. Fortunately, the car comes with a navigation system, which is quite convenient.
