Spain

It's the standard process for European car rental companies. The car I booked was not available, and the staff tried to suggest an upgrade. I declined, so they gave me a similar model!

This Europcar branch is awful, they seriously discriminate against Asians. Watch out for them, avoid at all costs. You'll regret choosing them.

The staff had a pretty good attitude. They asked if I needed additional insurance, and when I declined, they didn’t delay anything; the procedures were handled quite quickly. They were very diligent during the car inspection and proactively pointed out existing damages on the vehicle. If the car’s condition was not suitable, they were willing to coordinate a replacement. Initially, I reserved a 5+2 seat car, but they gave me an Audi A5. The car was great, but it couldn't fit five people plus luggage, so I had to go back to the counter to change the car. The car exchange was smooth (but if I booked a seven-seater, why did they give me a five-seater in the first place?).

The staff were quite friendly. They asked if I needed additional insurance, and when I declined, there were no delays in processing. The paperwork was completed quickly. The vehicle inspection was thorough, and they proactively pointed out existing damages on the car, and coordinated a replacement if the car was not in good condition. Initially, I had booked a 5+2 car but was given an Audi A5. The car was great, but it couldn't fit five people plus luggage, so I had to go back to the counter to change the car. The exchange went smoothly. (Though, if I booked a seven-seater, why did they first give me a five-seater?)

The service was quite good, but the booked car couldn't fit our luggage. We had to pay over 30% extra for an upgrade.
