Even though we had full comp insurance and a certificate an up sell was attempted as was to upgrade the vehicle but without really saying it was going to cost extra. Found it an easy process nevertheless.
Car hire in the Uk is expensive all round :(
About QEEQ:8.0/10
I liked that we could pre pick the supreme insurance and receive the certificate so that there was no way to up sell at the counter
The pick-up location has hidden charges and forces customers to purchase full insurance. Although they promised to refund the insurance fee after communication, the refund was never issued.
The staff was a bit careless; you need to carefully review the terms yourself. Everything else was fine, but the rental fee for automatic cars is quite high, much more expensive than in the US. Is this the norm in the UK?
At the end of it I feel like I’m walkinh into a trap set by Europcar after enticing me with attractive discount.
Even after paying for full coverage using QEEQ platform. The counter staff refuse to recognize and insist that I have to took up full protection with Europcar. The rate for Europcar protection is almost same as the car rental. End up I have to pay double.
Upon returning the vehicle, they charge me extra 1 day because I’m late by 32 minutes but they took more than 30 minutes to process my picking up. I don’t have proof when did I actually get my car but I’m quite sure when I get my car it’s over 9:30am but their system says my pickup time is 8:59am. And my return time they set at 9:31am. Just 32 minutes and I have to pay the full day of rental plus Insurance !!
Lesson learnt, be very very careful with Europcar. They will find all means to charge you and maximize their profit
About QEEQ:10.0/10
QEEQ has been helpful. After I complain about the insurance, the process a special discount for me but that is not enough to offset what I have to pay overall.
Counter staff were very friendly and helpful and offered me an upgrade to an automatic car but didnt tell me of the extra charge until my credit card was charged for this choice of vehicle.
