CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON EUROPCAR IN MARSEILLE

The service was excellent.

The car rental is just behind Marseille Airport. You can see many rental companies right after you exit the airport, and Europcar is very conspicuous. The paperwork takes quite some time, about 15 minutes per person. The pickup process is very convenient.

Average. You can't rush things in France. I rented for the Alfa Romeo, but they said it wasn’t available and gave me a Toyota instead, which was disappointing!

The pick-up and drop-off locations are convenient, and the staff are serious and friendly. The car I got was very new, and the driving experience was great!

I rented a compact SUV, a Tiguan, but they gave me a small SUV, a Toyota CH-R. They told me it was the same category, but when I returned the car, I noticed from the rental brochure that cars in the same category as the Tiguan are actually the Ford Escape or Audi Q5. This is deceptive to consumers, and we had to squeeze five people into this car the entire trip. Additionally, when I rented the car, I asked the counter staff if I could return the car to a different location for free (Charles Train Station in the city center), and they said yes. However, when I returned the car, they charged me 88 euros for returning it to a different location. Very frustrating!

The staff were particularly slow, but the car was very new.

Too crowded

Very satisfied

Pickup: The employee at the counter was patient and helpful, but the POS machines did not work well and caused us big problems. The employee at the parking slot did not offer much help and was hard to find. The car was not clean enough. Even knowing we would return the car to Geneva Airport, the employee did not inform us that: 1) it's mandatory to buy a €50 Swiss traffic license when entering Switzerland; 2) the car should be returned on the French side, which again caused us huge problems when returning the car. Neither point was specified in the rental car confirmation order. Drop-off: As mentioned, we arrived at the Europcar parking slot at Geneva Airport, but the first employee refused to accept the car and simply asked us to return it to the French side, or we would be charged €120. He provided a very simple map showing the way to the French side, but we could not find it even after an extra hour and three circles around the airport, and we almost missed our flight! Why does the same company have such a stupid and unfriendly policy?!! The distance between the two offices of the SAME COMPANY is just about 1.5KM according to the employee, so why should the customer be bothered by that??? Eventually, the second employee on the Swiss side agreed to take back the car, which took him only one minute! This was the worst car rental experience I've ever had in many countries, I must say!!!

The queue wasn't too fast. They offer multilingual services but not in Chinese. For those good at English, it’s not a problem. They don't appear to offer free upgrades, but they try to sell paid upgrades, which you can decline if you don't want. Make sure to thoroughly check the car and take photos of any scratches and confirm them with the store. This is very important because even if the car has scratches, they might not be listed on the slip, and you won’t have proof if you overlook them. The car interiors were very clean, which was good. Additionally, the car's performance was excellent, and the vehicles were relatively new.
