I purchased the Super Peace of Mind insurance from Zuzuche. When picking up the car, I showed the order and the printed insurance certificate (which included English terms) to the rental company staff, but the employee insisted on pushing their insurance, using various excuses to delay the process. The pickup process took an hour and a half. In the past, my car rental experience abroad typically took only around 20 minutes. Initially, I booked an Audi A3, but the rental company staff claimed they didn't have this model. They suggested that if I purchased their expensive insurance, I could get a free upgrade to a Mercedes C. After I declined, they informed me that the equivalent car would be a Honda. Early in the morning, it was still dark when we got to the parking lot, and we found the car was actually a Hyundai Bayon. The rental price for this model at the company was about 70% of the Audi A3 price. Since our itinerary was already set, we reluctantly accepted the vehicle. This bait-and-switch behavior is truly reprehensible.
The return location provided by Zuzuche was incorrect. At the North Terminal, there was no staff present to accept the car. We had to take the airport train to the South Terminal counter to hand over the keys. Out of concern for potential disputes afterward, we requested the staff to inspect the car, but they were unwilling to go. Thankfully, there were no issues later.
EUROPCAR is extremely poor in terms of integrity and service. Be cautious to avoid issues when renting from them.
We had already purchased full insurance through the Zuzuche platform in advance, but the rental counter added extra insurance charges without informing us first.
The car was booked at the North Station! When we arrived, it was closed. We had to go to the South Station to pick up the car, but we were told the car was in the North Station parking lot. We complained for a long time before they finally brought the car to the South Station for us. Also, if you choose to buy extra insurance from the rental company, you must carefully inspect the car body and windows because they won't check the car for you at pick-up. Due to dark weather, they generally ask you to report any issues within 24 hours, which is very passive. Be careful!
The address said north terminal but this was wrong and got sent to south terminal. Waited 45 mins to pick up and first car smelt and had low tyre pressure, so swapped it.
