Europcar rental company is average. It's a big company with average service. After completing the formalities, they just hand you the key and you find the car yourself. But the car condition is good, very new and well-maintained. They are quite enthusiastic when you return the car.
“Drop-off can be improved, good value for money, no overcharge, more clarity on the tolles would help”
About Europcar:8.7/10
I have 2 opportunities for improvement to recommend to Europcar and 2 watch-out for potential people renting:
1) Tolles in South Africa get automatically charge to some while sticker placed under the middle mirror (I didn`t know that, would have preferred to opt out instead of being charged later to my credit card).
2) Drop out can be improved: After a bad experience I had with GoldCar in Rome Fiumicino, Italy(overcharge because of misfuelling, even if I have pictures proving I have returned the car with even more fuel than I have taken it and I`m claiming the money back for the past 2 months), I`m asking after each rental a printout to confirm that everything is fine (no supplementary scratches, fuel level according to the contract during dro-out).
It took me more than 30 minutes to find out the right person that can print a confirmation that everything is alright while returning the car. I would have prefered this would happen faster. In the previous experience with Goldcar they said everything is fine and they`ll sent out the final invoice by e-mail and then I got extra charge.
In conclusion, I think that Europcar should keep the option of printing out the final confirmation of returning the car and should do this much faster (not in 2 days online or after waiting for almost 1 hour on site).
Enjoy South Africa. It`s a very beautiful country!
About QEEQ:10.0/10
Swithched from renting on companies website to renting on easyrentcars.com. For now (only 3 rentals with easyrentcars in the past 2 months) I`m very satisfied with easyrentcars.com and I have recommended it to my friends.
Initially received a car that seemed to have some accident damage but they changed it. Struggled to locate the pick up but when we found it the staff were helpful.
“The staff at the counter should hand over some document, which confirms that car was handed over”
About Europcar:9.7/10
While booking the car online, the deposit amount was not mentioned as 5USD, where as when we took over the car, the amount blocked on my credit card was around USD700. I believe they should be transparent regarding the deposit amount, during the time of booking online. Also during the hand over of the card, I was not given any document which says that I handed over the car in proper conditions & the fuel tank was full during the hand over. A confirmation document should be given to customer when the car is dropped off.
The pick up counter staff would nor accept the on line voucher and as I couldn’t print it , it made life very stressful, they managed to print it for me in the end. They said we were upgraded but we think the car given was a downgrade. On returning the car the staff got very rude when I requested some paperwork saying the car was all in order on return

When we went to rent a car, there was almost no waiting time. Although our English was not very good and communication was a bit slow, the lady who assisted us was patient and very helpful.
