CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON EUROPCAR IN NICE

Dislike: Just small problem with pick up as I didn’t receive my number problem with computer so I waited a long time before realising I needed a number.

It was off-season when we went, so there was no queue. They did offer additional insurance, but it wasn't overly pushy. After giving us the keys, there was no guidance or anyone to take us to the rental car location. The car model was changed in the end and felt somewhat smaller, but my friends decided to accept it, so we didn't push further. It wasn't a very pleasant experience.

The queue was very long, almost an hour before it was my turn. The lady at the counter saw that I had purchased full insurance and offered me a choice of Mercedes or Volvo. I thought they were similar models, but they were actually upgrades, requiring an extra 950 USD. After explaining that I only needed an A3 or a similar model, the staff member seemed displeased and said there were no A3s available. Eventually, I was given a hybrid Toyota. During the pickup, I noticed damage all over the car but the pickup assistant was very nice and recorded the damages on the pickup form in French. Five days later, the car kept reporting faults, and the hotel front desk had to help me contact the car rental company in French to see if they could repair it. The response was that they don't fix cars and advised me to drive back to the airport to exchange it. Worried about potential breakdowns on the road, I had to refuel and exchange it for another Japanese car at the airport rental station so that the trip could continue. Returning the car went smoothly, and the inspection guy was very professional and much faster than the front desk.

It will be brilliant if you have the hours rate for the late drop off. 2 hours extra cost for me the same like a hole day.

Limited English proficiency

Their attitude was just okay, not particularly cold or warm. The service was relatively fast, and the car pick-up process went smoothly.

Quick transfer to get the car and staff very pleasant - car was almost new!

booking platform great and very competitive prices - will definitely use again

When I visited the store a day in advance, I found out that the reservation was for a different store. The staff, knowing my situation, proactively arranged to transfer the car to the nearest store the next day. Great service.

The female staff responsible for my rental process had an extremely poor attitude. She was impatient and unfriendly. My original order was about 1200, but she added a series of insurances, doubling the price. I tried to get her to remove them several times but failed, and she even tried to rush us out. Eventually, I had to contact customer service; she wouldn't answer the phone either. I communicated with customer service for an hour, and finally, one of her colleagues, a black man, helped to remove the insurances. By then, it was already past 8 PM. She didn't take us to the car; she just threw the keys at us. The car was not the Passat I had originally booked but an Avensis. When I asked her, she said the Passat was more expensive, which was absurd because my rental order clearly stated a Passat at that price. We didn't pursue the issue further as it was too late and we had to get to our hotel. One word: terrible!

Good service, no need to queue

Excellent service at the desk during pick up. Gave good tips for our trip.

Not bad.

Like: Efficient and polite staff; vehicle is new and in excellent condition
Dislike: It would be much better for the contract printed in bilingual, i.e. French and English as we are unable to understand French. Confusion may offer due to communication problems.

The price online didn't match up with price we were charged for car hire. Don't like being ripped off.

Very good

Too many people, queued for two hours

We waited over an hour to pick up our vehicle.. we would not use Europcar again

Pretty good

The vehicle was very new, with only a few thousand kilometers on it, and it was in excellent condition! There was a traffic accident, but we had full insurance, and the return process was very simple!

L'adresse indiquée sur le contrat pour restituer le véhicule (avenue Gustave V) n'est pas celle du garage (rue Halevy), mais celle du bureau ... d'où une perte de temps dans les encombrements de fin de matinée à Nice. L'employé,pourtant pas seul dans l'agence, n'a pas accepté de prendre en charge le véhicule et nous avons donc perdu beaucoup de temps ! Par ailleurs, ayant demandé qu'un taxi soit appelé, il nous fut indiqué qu'une station était au bout de la rue ! nous sommes donc parti en traînant nos valises, bien énervés !
