1. I already purchased full insurance on Zuzuche. When picking up the car, I told the staff in English that I didn't need insurance. They gave me a contract in French and pointed out a €950 charge, explaining that it was the deposit and emphasized that it was a credit card pre-authorization, not a fee. However, the €950 included €650 for insurance, which wasn't mentioned at all. The entire insurance contract was in French, which I couldn't understand. As it was my first time renting a BENZ V-Class car, I accepted the €950 deposit as reasonable and signed the contract, not realizing I had bought extra insurance. After returning the car and coming back home, I received three invoices from the car rental company for €650 in insurance and two €875 car damage fees. Despite already having the company's insurance, I was charged a total of €1750 for car damages.

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.

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.

The service at Europcar was excellent.

Staff at Roissy airport agency very unpleasant and not accomodating. the car was very dirty (seats dirty and dog fur inside) and car body very damaged (10 existing damages). at middle travel, the car had a lack of oil so we have to find europcar in Brive for filling.
