Pickup at Munich Airport: After a ten-hour flight, we arrived at the counter around 11 PM. There were two staff members: a friendly English-speaking lady and a nonchalant German-speaking man. We rented three cars in total. By the time we finished the paperwork and got to the parking lot, it was around midnight. One car's warning light (triangle exclamation mark) came on as soon as we left the parking lot. We returned to the counter, but Europcar had already closed. Luckily, a returning staff member helped us. A series of steps followed: from the counter to the parking lot, determining low oil was the issue, adding oil, but it was still too low. As exchanging the car required logging into the system, and other cars were not yet registered, the staff suggested we go to a gas station to add oil or return the next day if there were issues. We insisted on having the staff accompany us, which proved wise. At the gas station, we couldn't find the specific oil the car needed, despite a full cabinet of oils. We returned to the parking lot and then back to the counter to redo the paperwork for a new car. This whole process delayed us by two hours, and a child got slightly injured bumping into a post during the wait. Experience: Europ's cars are cheap but in average condition. Given our route and need for an automatic transmission, it was the only choice. Another car's warning light came on frequently, indicating low oil. Consider the counter hours and leave extra time. If there's no one at night, it's really helpless—the airport rental counters are empty midnight. Don't believe staff if they say, 'Just observe and deal with it later.' Insist on resolving issues immediately, or it will be more troublesome if problems arise on the road.
The staff was rude. I wanted to add comprehensive insurance, but they didn't let me. At first, they tricked me into thinking it was added, but I later discovered it wasn't. They were rushing to finish work and didn't want the hassle. Such staff doesn't care about customer safety, which is very selfish. Insurance is not a trivial matter. When I went back the next day to add it, they said it wasn't possible unless I canceled and rebooked, going through all the procedures like refueling and vehicle inspection again. The most frustrating part was that if I canceled, I wouldn't get a refund for the 16-day rental fee! This was the most unpleasant day of our entire trip! Moreover, the employee gave us a different model than we booked and didn't provide any details. I had to ask about everything, even what type of fuel to use. All he cared about was ‘getting off work.’ We spent the entire day at the store without solving the problem, wasting a whole day. Additionally, the rental company didn't support us in this matter, and we felt bullied. We are extremely dissatisfied. As an experienced traveler, I kindly advise everyone to choose your rental company carefully. A company without good service can ruin your entire trip.
When picking up the car, the staff was quite impatient because he needed to leave at 3 PM to pick up his daughter. Moreover, the platform indicated that the car rental would cost over 300 euros, but the rental company actually charged 647 euros. Additionally, the 1500 RMB already paid on the platform could not be deducted from the bill, making it difficult to get reimbursed later. After calling customer service, they couldn't provide a clear explanation. To avoid affecting the visit, we had no choice but to rent the car, thereby bearing the cost ourselves. Furthermore, extending the rental via the app was not possible; it had to be done in person at the store, which was very inconvenient. As a result, we had to rush back to Munich overnight to return the car.
First, the front desk staff were impatient and not friendly. Poor service.
Second, I asked for a car with more space at pickup and tried to communicate this several times, but the front desk refused. Another thumbs down.
Third, I reluctantly took the car. Upon inspection, I found a small dent on the rear bumper, took a photo, and informed the front desk staff who told me it was fine and didn't note it. When returning the car (which had no incidents during use), the staff blamed us for the dent. Even after showing the pickup photos, they ignored our explanation and recorded it as our fault. Thumbs down again.
The salesperson was unfriendly because we bought full insurance on Zuzuche instead of their company.
