I took the inland route from Melbourne to Adelaide this time.

The first staff member was inexperienced with the process and system operation. When they couldn't provide the reserved car model, they were unable to effectively communicate with the manager. The following supervisor who assisted had a very poor attitude, being indifferent and unhelpful. They offered a lower-end vehicle with only $25 compensation or an upgrade at an additional cost. Then, yet another supervisor came with a different solution. Overall, the experience felt highly unprofessional. The car's condition was acceptable, but the service was very poor. I will avoid using this company in the future if possible.

After returning the car, I handed it over to the staff without any issues. Once I returned to my country, I found out that nearly 10,000 RMB had been deducted from my account. They claimed I didn't refuel the car, and that I had used one car for 11 days when I only rented it for 4 days. I contacted customer service and provided my flight ticket and refueling receipt, which led to a refund of just over 400 RMB for the fuel. When I inquired further, they said it was all insurance charges. How could insurance for a 4-day rental cover 11 days? Additionally, when they deducted the amount from my credit card, a transaction fee was already taken. Even after the refund, I'm still out on the transaction fees, and there's over 9,000 RMB unaccounted for. Is there any chance I would rent from you again?

Because we were a group of five, considering the number of people and luggage, we rented a Toyota Kluger. The seats were spacious, and the trunk was large. When we arrived at the EUROPCAR near Melbourne airport, the staff told us that the previous renter had not returned the car yet and suggested we rent from Budget, claiming it would be $100 AUD cheaper. When we arrived at Budget, it was indeed $100 AUD cheaper in rental fee, but EUROPCAR included comprehensive insurance. Adding the same insurance coverage at Budget cost an additional $49 AUD per day, making the insurance from our previous contract not applicable there. After more than an hour of communication, we returned to EUROPCAR and explained the situation to the staff. The staff then communicated with Budget again and offered us an upgrade to full insurance for an additional $40 AUD, to which we agreed. However, when we finally picked up the vehicle, it was a Jeep, which was very narrow. Three women in the back seat felt cramped, and the trunk was small. With three 20-inch suitcases and two 24-inch suitcases, it was completely full. Backpacks and other items had to be placed under the seats, making the already cramped space even more crowded...

Got a better can than I booked which was great. Will use europcar again because of this

Excellent car and good rate. REALLY ANNOYED at being billed over $20 for providing the drivers licence of my wife and not being told we would be CHARGED FOR A SECOND DRIVER BEING REGISTERED - even if she didn't drive the car. This was DECEPTIVE practice.
