There weren't many people in line at the rental office, but the process was typically slow in a French way.

In simple terms: they tried every possible way to upsell additional services! Then they tried to push higher-priced cars on us, claiming that the car we rented wasn't available. I had booked an automatic, but they gave me a manual. I specifically pointed out the scratches on the car during pickup, but during drop-off, they said there was no record of it, implying the damage was our fault. It was only when I provided the photos taken during pick-up that they waived the charge.

Insufficient reminders about the terms of service caused some misunderstandings later on.

Pretty good, rented cars a few times, and Europcar was the best among them. AVIS/BUDGET had bad reviews. Europcar clearly and thoroughly explained the additional insurance options, and we could choose whether or not to include them. I made a mistake with BUDGET, not realizing they added insurance and services without my consent and signed the contract without noticing. BUDGET staff seemed intentionally misleading, but I won't go into details. If you're interested, you can message me privately. Even though this is a review for Europcar, I wanted to mention BUDGET. It made me resolve to always give BUDGET a bad review whenever possible. Honestly, I wouldn't be reviewing Europcar if it wasn't to criticize BUDGET.

Car not the one ordered Paid extra for no excess insurance but was expected to pay €1900 because not taken out with Europcar Billed for petrol on return even though car was full tank
