Staff were helpful. It was not clear that car hire was not based at the airport and the directions for the bus were not accurate so we wandered around the airport searching for a while and then had a 20 min wait for a bus. Unsure if this is a QEEQ or Budget issue.

Yeah all worked as it should. A very well used Opel Crossland is not an Audi A2 but it worked for me. Car had plenty of dings in it, but this is normal in Tenerife. Car was fine in all respects, other than a dragging brake. Return process simple and a very helpful guy looked after me. Deposit was a bit steep, but it was only pre-authorised and was removed soon after return.

The pick up process was most difficult. It was a ticket system but was not communicated so we stood in a crowd for 15 min before we realised. Then there was only 2 staff and it was very slow. We sat on the floor waiting. Then they didn’t take AMEX, which is ridiculous as it is a worldwide accepted card.

Pretty good. Drove for five days without any issues.

Quite pushy with the sell up insurance and clearly weren't happy with me refusing it. I had to point out quite a few damages that weren't on the original damage report. Two days after dropping the car back off they rang me to ask why I hadn't dropped it off yet, I told them when/where I dropped it off, they have emailed me with the end of hire report so guessing it was just an error but they haven't rang back to explain or apologise.

Be careful with this car rental company. Make sure to thoroughly check the car and get insurance. I was charged 400 euros for a small scratch on the wheel. Locals recommend Cicar as a more reliable option.

The staff was not professional and unfamiliar with their tasks. What kind of logic is it to let the customer decide how to resolve issues? Is this how they are trained? They asked if I wanted an upgrade when I couldn't find the pickup location in a foreign country and couldn't reach them by phone. Customer service said communication could only be done through email. If I were the boss, I would have fired such an employee!

Didn’t meet with any agent / rep in the terminal at pick up as instructed, we asked locals for directions to the Gobycar shuttle and luckily they were able to help us and tell us where to go. Shuttle bus parked at bay E3 for information. Please update for other users as to the instructions as there may have been other renters not so proactive and waiting around in terminal for agent. Other than that it was a straight forward process and got an upgrade to vehicle for free. Person on desk was friendly and helpful

I had an email confirming that the the car was off hired and returned with no new damage on the off hire due day (10 11 22) The company has tried to charge my card €720.05 yesterday (10 19 22) with no explanation. Fortunately I use a travel debit card with not much credit and so was declined! I would like an explanation from the hire company please.

The woman at the Europcar stop was absolutely wonderful! She helped me to choose a car that would best fit my needs and made the renting experience very easy. She went above and beyond and gave me some great travel recommendations. Also, I loved the car she connected me with (I had initially chosen a different car). I would 100% recommend!!

Horrible, never again. I was pushed into purchasing an insurance worth several hundred euros because I was a female traveling alone-- the gentleman next to me picked up his car without insurance no problems.

It was okay, but the rental counter staff's English on this island was really poor. Due to the time zone difference, we had to wait over an hour to pick up the car. We eventually chose a better model recommended by the staff, which cost an extra 25 euros. They then suggested we buy higher insurance, and since we declined, they asked for an 800 euro deposit. In the end, we decided to just buy the insurance for an additional 75 euros.

The rental company's staff tried to trick us initially, saying our credit card didn't go through and that we had to pay cash, which required purchasing their extra insurance for 178 euros. When our card went through, they got angry and refused to rent us the car. These foreigners are really good at fooling people. Be extra cautious and don't fall for their tricks. Very dissatisfied with this rental company, Europcar.

Terrible car rental! We encountered some issues on the road and called the rental company, but they kept passing the buck. No one spoke proper English, only gibberish, and their attitude was extremely poor. We finally had to contact the local police, who had to force the rental company to send someone to help us.

Id like to have my refund because I didn’t take the car, The receptionist came up with lots of fees and also he ask me for £1.000 for deposit, but online the info was totally different ($300 to $500). I paid for extra insurance and he was asking again for more payments!

There were a lot of hidden costs that we were not informed about upfront, including a mandatory €1000 deposit if we didn't pay out for the extra insurance cover, and a €102 fuel deposit (which is more fuel than will even fit in a Fiat 500). Staff also didn't tell us about these costs in one go, even when directly asked 'what is the total we will have to pay'. This created a really negative experience for us and impacted on a lot of our holiday plans. It seemed like this was intentional, a way of forcing people into paying money without giving them the full information in advance, and it felt like we were being scammed. It was also contrary to the information that we received from our broker, Easyrentcars.com, which advised that we could be charged a maximum deposit of up to the equivalent of $500, meaning that we were missold this car hire deal. In future I will avoid Interrent and recommend that others do also.

First of all, this was my worst car rental experience ever. I don't know if choosing Zuzuche or Europcar was the mistake. I arrived before 11:00 PM local time, but due to not knowing the time difference, I thought it was almost midnight. So I rushed to Europcar and told the lady there that I lost my luggage and would come back after filing a claim. She didn't kindly inform me that if I had completed the process then, I wouldn't need to pay a €55 fee. Furthermore, when I finally finished filing my claim, around 11:15 PM, Tenerife North Airport was completely deserted, and there was no one renting cars. I stood in the wrong line, and the elderly lady charged me €23.84 for a premium location fee. I was anxious to leave and frustrated about my lost luggage, so I didn't check the details carefully and signed. I could put up with all of this, but then, when I got back, I was charged an additional €24 for reasons unknown. The pre-authorization was clearly €100, but they only reimbursed €76. This is unacceptable. Even in China, such a scam company wouldn't exist. Hence, I give the partner company an extremely low rating. Oh, by the way, other companies have 24-hour service and are half the price on other websites. So, forget about domestic apps; it's disappointing.
