Austria and Czech Republic

Europcar pays attention to details, and the vehicle condition was excellent. Our car was almost brand new. However, the self-service pickup was slightly worrying, lacking a personal touch.

The car pickup process was very unpleasant. The rental company staff was unwelcoming, and didn't show any effort to understand the address in Chinese Pinyin. He impatiently directed me to the garage, which was located in a public parking lot next to the Ritz-Carlton.

I originally booked a POLO online, but when I arrived at the store, they said the car I booked was too small for three people and asked if I wanted to change the car. I went to the parking lot to check, and they had arranged a FIAT500 for me, a two-door small car, and the back seats couldn't accommodate anyone. After further communication, they finally replaced it with a POLO. It's so strange, couldn't they see the model I booked in the order? There was a language barrier, so I couldn't argue with them, which wasted a lot of time. I am not very satisfied with this service.

Europcar is pretty good. Picked up the car in Vienna, the process was simple. An automatic diesel Golf. The car was very new, only 15,000 kilometers, and very easy to drive. Returned the car in Prague, and the store even helped call a taxi. No upselling, charges were according to the contract. Recommended.

Easy to find
