Fine although don’t be tricked into phoning them as it’s a premium rate number.

Found the whole car hire experience so difficult, that I would probably not go on a holiday that needed a hire car. The child seats didnt attach to the car and had to be tied on by hand as a botch up. The map that was provided didnt include the airport, so ended up lost in Preveza for half an hour. The hand brake was weird. It did not seem to hold the car at all on the hills. At one stage we were stuck for 2-3 minutes with cars hooting behind trying not to slip back down the hill. No doubt if we had read the instructions, it would have told us about 'auto-hold', but the instruction book was in Greek. It took us a while to locate the controls (again no instructions given at the airport). The diesel tank on one of the cars was partially full with instructions to fill it to exactly the same level on return (how do you do that?). there were no spaces at the airport parking to return the car, so had to move bollards to do that. I hate hiring cars and will try to avoid doing so ever again.

I've often hired from them and always found them easy and pleasant to deal with, and no nasty surprises.

Car ready on time but it was an automatic which I hadn’t ordered. No-one offered to show me the controls or round the car. There was damage on the wheel arch that wasn’t recorded so I had to go back to the office to tell them. Expensive to add extra driver or cover excess (which I didn’t need)

We returned the car to Munich Airport and ste staff there is not reliable and trustworhty. The guy who checked our car asked us to take our bags quickly. We took our bags from trunk and he quickly closed all doors and sat inside to check the interior. he came out and said NOTHING about the bag we had left on the first seat. we left and in 5 minutes noticed that one bag was missing. I remembered taht i put it on the first seat in order not to put in of the dirty floor while offloading rest of the bags. We went back to the car return and asked about the bag - they said they did not know anything about the bag. that it was not in the car. The staff there is probably not working for Europcar with permanent contracts, but i guess in case company is not choosing right and honest people, they as responsible for these incidents. I turned to Europcar Munich Airport and they even did not answer my complaint. I will definately avoid this company in future and suggest the others to be very careful with them.

Good clean cars. Returning always a problem getting inspection. Claim damage on one occasion but appealed. OK. Charged insurance when not wanted. Awaiting result. Not much delay at reception.

Very disappointed. Booked a particular sized car but got offered a car which is definitely smaller but apparently it's in the same group. So I asked is there any other cars but apparently there was only this car in that group. So I was obliged to pay extra and upgrade as I needed a bigger car. Just as I walked off with the keys the customer on the next counter got offered the car that I had booked, proved to me the person serving me was lying. I won't be hiring from them again!

On collecting the car keys we were dealt with by Chris who clearly explained the collection procedure and was very welcoming. He wished us a enjoyable stay. He also explained and showed us the slight damage marked on the hire form and advised us to thoroughly check the car and if we found any further damage not marked on the form we were to bring it to the attention of the person who we took the form to. On checking the car, we notice a small scratch on the rear offside door. On reporting this scratch to the employee of Europcar, he stated that, it was not his concern and that we should take photographs which would suffice. We had already taken photographs but we again asked him to check and note the damage, as we were told to do. He still refused saying that if he noted the scratch we could then claim any future scratches were already present on receiving the car. We had to insist that he examine and note this scratch, which he very reluctantly agreed to do, although he did not note near or offside door. On our returning the car, this same individual gave it a very thorough examination which was what he should have done on collection. We then went to the hire desk and spoke to a lady who on hearing our story and our description of the un-cooperative employee, raised her eyes up to the heavens and said, I know who you mean, giving us the impression they have had similar complaints regarding this person. We would give Europcar another chance as everything apart from this ignorant, lazzy individual was excellent.

Awful customer service, untrustworthy staff and take unauthorised payments from the wrong card. Not a company to use for your car hire. Inverness Airport branch is a joke. Wait ages to be served and the guy then falsely claims you NEED their insurance. AVOID!

Don't use this Rental car company. I've used all the big ones and some small ones and this one charges you an extra $40 if you have any tickets (parking or otherwise) as a non-negotiable administration fee. Even if you disagree with the ticket. Not only that, it took my almost a half hour to find their location because the office was no where near where the cars were.
