CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON EUROPCAR IN BARCELONA

Both renting and returning the car were convenient

Staff at Barcelona airport tried to upsell insurance and charged extra claiming the car we reserved wasn't available. With the help of QEEQ customer service, we eventually got the car we booked. Although the process was convoluted, we were satisfied with the outcome.

At pickup, they had various reasons to charge us extra fees for a different car.

Initially booked with AVIS, but remembered the unpleasant experience in Los Angeles where AVIS forced insurance charges. Switched to Europcar before the trip. Both pickup and dropoff were smooth without excessive upselling. We got the car we wanted.

There are a lot of people.

I arrived 4 hours early and asked the staff if it was possible to pick up the car earlier. They recommended an Audi and even though I asked twice, they said it was the same price. However, upon returning the car, I was charged over 300 euros more. The staff in Madrid confirmed that the price had increased.

Меджер предложил два варианта: Ждать забронированую машину 2часа или взять более дорогую и уехать сейчас. Развод чистой воды! Пришлось согласится так как был с ребёнком. Плюс называет итоговую сумму в евро, списывают в долларах с комиссией, без предупреждения! С начала берет карту, блокирует деньги, потом даёт читать контракт! В итоге заплатил на 120 евро больше чем планировал.

The promised car Mercedes MB class was not available and we were offered Audi Q2 at an additional cost. Since, both fall under intermediate category to the best of my understanding, I would like to know the rationale for additional charge. Otherwise the booking and pickup process was fine. The drop-off was smoother as at the time of pickup, the person was not readily available.

The portal was user friendly and showed options that were not available at other sites. I am happy with the services and would like to book again. One thing that can be done better is the inclusion of filter of vehicle transmission and refinement of existing filters.

Picked up the car as scheduled, chose a Volkswagen Golf, but ended up with a black sedan Opel full of scratches. Girls wanted a smaller car but they said none were available. Spent over half an hour documenting the damages. Later had to change the car due to a flat tire, got transferred to the train station location where they had more cars. We asked to preview the replacement car and they showed us a picture. However, we ended up with a small Citroen with only 15,000 km, which was different from the picture. The trunk was small and didn't seem as good as the Volkswagen Golf. Language barriers complicated things, but the staff was patient in resolving the issue.

Got the car on schedule, chose a Volkswagen Golf, but received a black sedan, checked and it was an Opel with damage all over. Wanted to switch to a smaller car for a female driver but was told none available. Took over half an hour to document the damages. Later had a flat tire and was transferred to the train station branch with more cars. Asked to upgrade at a cost but was offered a different car after seeing its picture. Ended up with a 15,000 km Citroen, which was different from the picture and had a smaller trunk, not as good as the Golf. Communication issues made it worse, but the staff patiently resolved it.

The counter staff upgraded my car without my consent, doubling the rental cost. Extremely frustrating.

Nice car. Difficult to find drop location in Barcelona.

worked fine

Picking up the car at Sants Train Station is convenient with multiple subway lines available. The pickup point is in the basement of another building.

Arrived 40 minutes early. Normally, after completing the formalities at Terminal 1, I would rush to the parking lot at Terminal 2. There was no car available. Numerous phone calls were made back and forth, and it took 54 minutes past the scheduled pick-up time to get the car. It really messed up my plans. Returning the car in advance went smoothly.

Europcar was fast and helpful to all my requests and questions

Not entirely impolite, but the conversation was unpleasant. Diesel cars need to add AdBlue, which is uncommon in China. I didn't know about it, and they should have informed me when I picked up the car to avoid problems later on. I had to contact customer service multiple times, and international calls are expensive! Luckily, I saw the prompt. If I hadn't noticed it, who would have paid for the towing service? I later realized that this thing had to be added continuously. So why not mention it in advance? Tourists from other countries might not be familiar with your car's special requirements! I added AdBlue twice. When I claimed the reimbursement, the counter staff asked me why it was twice. How should I answer that? I could only say that your car prompted me twice! Such unnecessary questions are not needed. I didn't want to add it twice either! Additionally, when charging fees, just charge my credit card in euros. My credit card will handle the conversion. Why convert to dollars? Not only is the exchange rate high, but there are also extra fees!

Very satisfied

The car rental service was good, but the instructions were unclear. After landing, the car we needed wasn't available in our terminal. We had to either pay more or go to another terminal. The car options (CRV Hybrid or upgraded to Tiguan) weren't different at all. They said we could just go to the parking lot, but after reaching the other terminal, we still had to handle things at the car rental center and not at the parking lot service center. This caused us to run around the airport several times. In the end, we got the Tiguan without paying extra. Online, both cars are listed as the same, and the hybrid is more fuel-efficient.

El vehiculo bien equipado, espacioso. El tiempo de proceso para la firma del contrato fue un poco lento. Lo negativo y desagradable fue la atencion del personal que entrega el coche muy poco amable y muy apurado, ademas el vehiculo tuvo una limpieza somera, rastros de cigarrillo sobre las alfombras y un fuerte olor a cigarrillo.

Excelente plataforma de reserva, completa y facil a reservar. Ademas buena asistencia en caso de dudas.

A too long of a process to get the car keys. I wish the staff was more informative as far as what is needed if traveling thru different countries, tolls, etc.
