No one was present from the company when picking up the car, had to get help from staff of another company.

We told them we had paid in full, but the contract still showed three charges: a basic package fee, a snow chain fee, and some departure fee (all in Italian, no English provided), totaling $147. We refused to sign and communicated that all fees were paid in China, and the weather was good, so snow chains weren't needed. They tried to intimidate us by saying the police would check. To give them face, we conceded to the snow chain fee, but they still listed the other two fees, promising a refund after the car was returned. Despite calling for help from ZUZUCHE, which confirmed the same outcome, the whole process took nearly two hours. The car has now been returned, and we don’t know if we can get the other two fees, over $100, refunded. The drop-off location was unmanned except for the car receiver, who told us to contact the store.

When I picked up the car, Europcar switched my booking from a Mercedes C-Class to a Skoda sedan. I didn't notice the exact model, but the vehicle might have been bigger. However, the driving experience was not as good as the C-Class! The worst part was that after giving me the keys, the staff didn't accompany me to inspect the car. I was careless and drove off without taking photos of all sides of the car. This led to a problem when I returned the vehicle. The staff inspected the car thoroughly and found a scratch on the right rear door, which I believe was an old scratch. Without photos, I had no way to prove my point. I ended up being charged 200 euros for a very small scratch by Europcar. Despite having bought comprehensive insurance from Ping An through Zuzuche, making an international call to file a claim and waiting for Ping An's response was a hassle. I suggest buying insurance directly from a local provider for smoother claim processes.

I'll rent from Europcar again, this is my third rental from Europcar with no hassle or problems.

Very good

Europcar counter folks were fine but their 24/7 emergency line was not. We called for help when a warning light came on in our Volvo. The person answering did not speak English but said someone would call us. Never got a return call. We figured out the issue but if it was more severe I can imagine a frustrating experience. Got their cell phone/WiFi rental. It was fabulous making navigation and location highlights easy. Worth the money.

All aspects were great except it would have been helpful to add the rental company on the confirmation. We made the reservation far in advance and forgot it was through Eurocar. Overall experience was great.
