The entire process went smoothly without any issues, and I received a brand new car. Remember to clean both the interior and exterior at the self-service car wash when returning the vehicle. Buying a €5 wash token from the machine is sufficient; don't buy extra since it’s non-refundable. Extra tokens can only be taken back home as souvenirs.
Waited in line for an hour, the car model I reserved wasn't available, and they gave me a Ford Focus without any explanation. I refused and said this wasn't the car I booked. They said I would need to wait at least another hour for my reserved model. In the end, after waiting another hour, they only provided an electric Mercedes. Charging and driving on the highway in Germany is not convenient.
“I will not use Europcar Frankfurt again. Europcar in Zuerich would have waved the additional charge”
About Europcar:6.0/10
My flight was delayed and because I did not give the flight number upon reservation, Europcar had already rented the car out to someone else. They told me it would be hours before I could get the class I booked again. They made me pay the difference for the next class up. Not happy.
About QEEQ:8.0/10
Was there a protection for this included in QEEQ's policy? We traveled because of a family emergency and it was tough being as on top of things as I normally am.
In our home country, we took the same car with the same people and luggage to the airport, but the staff here insisted that the Mercedes C-class couldn't fit our luggage and asked us to pay for an upgrade to an Audi A4 wagon. Coincidentally, another customer nearby was also asked to upgrade. It seems the reviews about forced upgrades are true. We were in a hurry, so we had to upgrade. Fortunately, the A4 was a diesel car, as I hoped, and had only 3277 kilometers, almost brand new. When returning the car, the staff inspected it very carefully, noticing a tiny chip on the windshield caused by a small stone. Thankfully, we had full insurance. I checked the windshields of a few nearby cars and saw many such tiny chips; the company considers them as damage. I suggest getting full insurance when renting a car. Overall, the car was fine, but after driving 1000 kilometers, it indicated that it needed one liter of oil, quite similar to domestic Audi cars needing oil for long trips.
They didn't give me a receipt after returning the car. Additionally, the car they provided was very old and consumed a lot of fuel. Their attitude was mediocre, and they didn't give detailed instructions on where to return the car. I had to search on the map myself. The description of the car's location was also very vague.
Arrived an hour early to pick up the car, only to be told that the model I reserved wasn't available. I was offered an upgrade to a higher-end model for an additional 14 euros per day, or I could wait another hour. Reluctantly, I waited another hour. Other Chinese travelers on the same flight faced the same issue.
An hour later, I came back to pick up the car and was informed that the BMW X2 was still unavailable. They only had a BMW 216 in the same class, but I argued that the website indicated the same class vehicles did not include the BMW 216, and the rear space of the 216 is significantly smaller than that of the X2. My argument was ignored, and I had no choice but to upgrade to a BMW 318, paying an extra 14 euros per day.
During this time, I made a special trip to the garage to see the car, only to be given the wrong key, making the trip pointless.
They also suggested I buy additional insurance, which I declined.
Overall, it took two hours to pick up the car. Their attitude was not exactly bad, but I wouldn't call it friendly either.
The entire experience was very poor! In the end, I paid a lot more for a car that I didn't expect.
Very satisfied, convenient, and fast, no different from domestic services. The store is not far from the underground parking area, just a few minutes walk, and an elevator ride away. They didn’t have the Volkswagen T-Roc I reserved but gave me a Skoda with over 3,000 kilometers, not sure of the model, but it was very new. It had a rear view camera, radar, navigation, everything you could need. I felt it was better than the car I reserved. The power was also very good, and the key point is the fuel consumption is really low, averaging five liters per 100 kilometers.
