Free upgrade to an A4 Avant

Very, very dissatisfied with Europcar. On the day of pickup, they didn't inform us in advance that the store would be closed. When we arrived, we found out there were no staff working that day. After negotiating with the rental car customer service, there was no solution. I also tried contacting the airport pickup point myself but couldn't get through. After asking other rental company staff, we finally found the only place in Munich where we could pick up the car. We waited in line for over an hour, only to be told by a very unfriendly staff member that they didn't have the model I reserved. When I asked if they could contact the airport pickup point to check if it was open, they refused. In the end, I decided to go to the airport with a try-my-luck attitude. When I arrived, I found the store was indeed open, but no one had answered the phone earlier. By then, it was 4 hours past my original pickup time, and my reserved model was no longer available, so I was forced to upgrade. Although the rental car customer service said they would cover the difference, this pickup experience was terrible and made the elderly in my family very tired, greatly affecting our trip. I will never rent from Europcar again!

Returning the car at the airport store was quite convenient. However, renting a car at the central train station store was a nightmare. It took us an hour to find the store, then after completing all the formalities, we needed another hidden parking lot to get the car, which took another hour to find. Additionally, we had to complain about this: although we got a free upgrade to a larger MPV due to car unavailability, the second day after a tire blowout and switching to a spare, we reached another store in Füssen only to switch to a compact SUV. 'This car or no car,' we were told. We booked a Touran to fit five people's luggage, so imagine three people and two large suitcases squeezing into the back seat for the rest of the trip! Unforgettable.

Haven't received the exact charge processing result yet, can't comment. Convenient pickup and drop-off, good price.

Picked up the latest model VW Golf, with full comfort features like Bluetooth, Airplay. However, encountered a Tyre air leak since pickup, which was covered by Europcar. Added some inconvenience to our trip, but it was fixed nonetheless

Smooth booking process as always.
