CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON EUROPCAR IN JOHANNESBURG

Pick-up and drop-off are extremely convenient. The daily rental rate for the same model is 30% more expensive than in Cape Town.

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.

Waited too long in line to get the car. Return was quick and easy.

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!

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.

Easy procedure

Very friendly way to book car with good price

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.

Unprofessional service attitude

Very convenient

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

All good wit QEEQ

It's alright

Average attitude, not very proactive, got tricked the first day

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.

We didn't have to wait much when renting the car; even though our English was not great, communication was slow but the lady who attended to us was very patient and nice.

It was not the model I booked. I remember the price was over 200 RMB per day when I made the reservation, but it ended up being 760 Rand per day.

Merci à Europcar et surtout à Gavin au guichet qui nous a dit avec un grand sourire que la voiture était neuve! Très facile à trouver.

Très bons contacts avec le team si besoin et les messages WhatsApp avant la prise en charge et avant la restitution sont très bien.

Processing time was too long
