The service was good. When returning the car, they tried to say that the existing scratches were caused by us, but upon showing the photos taken during pickup, the staff said it was okay.
The vehicle did not match the reservation at all, and the actual charge of $350 was far from the budget. Additionally, the available models in the store did not match the reserved ones. Being in a foreign country with no other options, I had to make do. Overall, it made me feel cheated.
Long waiting time. Our number was already displayed on the screen, but we still waited for over 10 minutes. Not sure what the staff was doing. During the paperwork, the rental staff kept recommending us to upgrade the car model, costing an extra 85 euros. After we declined, they continued to push for various reasons such as it being flashy, luxurious, and discounted. This made the process very slow. They also kept pushing insurance, resulting in the entire process from queuing to getting the car taking more than an hour! Very dissatisfied.
Do not rent from this rental company, Europcar at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. When renting the car, they will pre-authorize an amount higher than the actual rental cost, with the excess being the deposit. After your rental period ends, the company does not charge you the actual amount but the highest pre-authorized amount. For example, if your rental is 1000 euros, they will pre-authorize 1100 euros, with the extra 100 euros as a deposit. While this seems normal at the start, by the time you return the car, they actually charge you 1100 euros despite the agreed rental fee. Since you are already back home at this point, any efforts to argue through platforms like QEEQ will be met with various excuses, such as not overcharging, banking issues, etc. Additionally, contacting this rental company via phone is not free. When I called, they claimed I had violations, which contradicted the reply from QEEQ. Also, the cars from this rental company are in poor condition, with high mileage. Avoid renting from Europcar, even though they offer cheap prices.
