Returning the car was difficult to find, we circled around several times since the navigation was inaccurate. Picking up the car was easy. We were convinced by the store to buy full insurance; the car rental was only 1800, but the insurance cost more than 4000. It's been over a month and the deposit hasn't been returned yet.

Standardized management

1. The staff had poor English skills, making communication difficult. 2. Pickup time was delayed by over 10 minutes from the scheduled time, resulting in an additional charge of over 500 RMB. 3. They surprised us with extra charges at pickup, forcefully adding a bunch of insurances. 4. The tire had a small scratch, and they charged over 2000 RMB, enough to replace it with a new tire. 5. Severe overcharging, taking advantage of out-of-town customers.

I have previously rented cars from Sixt, Budget, Hertz, etc., and had great experiences. However, renting from Europcar this October was frustrating. In February, I rented cars from Europcar at Madrid Airport in Spain and Tangier Airport in Morocco through a rental company, bought full insurance, and paid in full. On October 4th, when I picked up the car at Madrid Airport, the Europcar employee did not recognize the rental company or the full insurance. She insisted that I either: 1. Buy additional insurance, or I would be responsible for any damages. I refused adamantly. 2. Pay a deposit of 331 euros, otherwise I couldn't pick up the car. Reluctantly, I paid 331 euros with my credit card. (I had a similar experience at Tangier Airport in Morocco.) When I returned the car in Algeciras, Spain, the return location provided by Europcar did not even exist! After much trouble finding the correct return location, I missed the free shuttle bus provided by the ferry company (I had already purchased the ferry tickets) to Tarifa. I had to pay 33 euros for a taxi to rush to the dock before the ferry departed! Would I dare to rent from Europcar again?!

El coche estaba en muy mal estado. Lleno de arañazos, óxidos, agujeros en la tapicería...
