It took almost an hour to pick up the car, which was a bit long. They also tried to sell me a highway card, claiming some routes required it. But in reality, I saw that Portugal mostly has toll roads.
When handling the car pickup procedures, they added some extra costs. Due to communication issues, it took a lot of time and was hard to understand the additional charges. The experience wasn't great. It would be better to have Chinese service during pickup and a more detailed explanation of the car's operation.
The service was particularly bad. They first asked how many suitcases you had and then said they wouldn't fit. They kept pushing you to upgrade and buy insurance. The waiting time was too long. Never choose this rental company in Portugal again.
Picked up the car at Lisbon airport; the queue was quite long. It seemed many people rented from this company, probably because it's the cheapest. However, they provided bottled water while waiting, and the staff was very friendly. Note that Europcar charges extra for additional drivers, which was a first for me. Keep this in mind.
Basic services were good, but the automatic highway toll system rented with the car was incompatible, causing alarms each time we passed a toll gate. On our first attempt to exchange it, we were told it was fine with no issues, so they refused to replace it. Contacting the rental platform didn't help either. We had to follow their advice and try again. The next day, the same alarm occurred on the highway. Finally, after hours of negotiation with local friends helping at the rental office, we got a new system. Everything was fine thereafter, but we were unsure how much we'd be fined for the previous alarms. The rental platform didn't provide effective help in this matter. If we do get fined, I hope the rental platform would handle it properly and positively.
Like: The car itself if great. The guy explained about the types of cameras on the south and why I may need additional devices. Another guy explained me everything about the car and answered all my questions. Dislike: Waiting time at picking up the car was around 20 min or even more.
When I brought back the car, I first came to the right gates, but there was written “welcome back the car” and arrow to the left. So following the arrow I went to the wrong gates ((
Like: The car was brand new and excellent. OPEL ASTRA STATION WAGON, so if you have 3 big suitcases and 3 small suitcases it shall be okay. Dislike: the device for tall road fell down on the floor for one day and I don't know if Europcar shall charge me for this day when I drove
the car on the highway. ( I paid for the device the whole period)
Although the wait time was about 20 minutes, the staff offered us a bottle of mineral water and actively coordinated to open more service windows, so we were satisfied.
