We waited 1.5 hours to collect our car in Lisbon. The Europcar pick-up office was extremely busy and there was not enough staff. We arrived well ahead of our scheduled pick-up time and it still took an unacceptable amount of time to finally receive the car. Having said this, the staff were trying their best in the circumstances and were friendly and helpful as much as possible.
I can’t understand how it’s possible that in 2019, the company is still renting cars without AC (particularly in the middle of summer), and with manual windows... I understand that I opted for an economy car but this was ridiculous specially given what it cost me. When I asked for a different car with proper conditions, I was told that it would be a 30euro per day upgrade!!! C’mon! I wasn’t asking for much, just didn’t want to melt in my car during my vacation.
“Great car, great service. I got a good deal on this rental.”
About Europcar:9.7/10
The car was in very good condition. The pick up process was smooth. I was welcomed by a very friendly employee. I was offered an upgrade to a Jeep Wrangler at a very good price, which I accepted. Overall I am very satisfied with the rental.

As usually, the booking process was easy and fast. The offered price was good. I am happy to book with easyrentcars.com
When booking through Zuzuche, I noticed there was a mileage limit on the rental options. Therefore, I didn't purchase Zuzuche's insurance but planned to buy the car rental company's insurance on-site and have them remove the mileage limit clause. At the car pick-up, I asked if I could buy full coverage without any mileage limit. The staff assured me there was no mileage limitation. Since the contract was in Portuguese, I trusted them and didn't translate it word by word. However, when returning the car, they still charged us for exceeding the mileage limit. I felt deceived, but since I signed the contract, even if I filed an after-sales complaint with Zuzuche, based on my years of experience with them, they would definitely not sincerely help resolve such issues. So, I could only accept my bad luck and consider it a costly lesson!
My experience with person on counter during pick up was excellent. I absolutely loved it. I am again going to book car from europcar just because the experience was pleasant with the guy on counter.
The car we had expected was not available so we had a free larger vehicle which was comfortable with adequate room. We could have had a bit more instruction on the workings of the vehicle as it had technology with which we were unfamiliar.

Drop off was confusing as the signage was not clear. Which parks were for which rental firms could have been much clearer. Booking was easy .
I booked a BMW X2 but not available and offered a Volvo XC40 which was acceptable. Counter staff was very helpful and efficient but pick up counter was average. Overall the whole process was smooth.

About Europcar:5.7/10
Avoid like the plauge. They consistently take at least 2 hours to check in, they have no problem telling you "they just had 10 flights land, all behind schedule so there's a sudden rush, it's not usually this bad." They are lying though their teeth, which seems to be a motif for the company. Do not trust anything they say. Get all paperwork duplicated in your native language and above all, do not trust them to be honest. Inspect every tiny detail and take photos of even the smallest cosmetic mar.
They look for small ways to rip you off. The bumper with had a broken restraining clip so it wiggles if you pull on it but had no visible damage and needs to be pulled decently hard to see any flex. This tells me that the car was previously damaged, they cleaned it up but did not repair it. Now that they have hard to notice damage, and know where to look, I expect they tell every driver that it is new damage and keep milking it.
