The people at Eurocar were great. The car was a powerless piece of junk. It got us around, barely.

Good. but I received a smaller car. a cheaper category for the same amount.

The car was filthy when collected. Not enough hire agents at the desk so the cue was huge. The agent spoke in a European foreign accent and his English was very poor. Tried to talk me through insurances and answer my questions but struggled to understand each other, so I gave up asking. Drop off took too long. Nearly missed my check in.

The pickup and drop off experience was less than optimal.

The pick up was really a bad experience we had to wait for an hour and a half because the system at Europcar in Rome airport was not functioning properly and although I went and complained to the staff that I see people came after me and they got seen and me no, they investigated and said basically system isn’t functioning properly today but still served 3 customers before me after admitting it is the system fault, and I also had two young children who just landed from a 6am departure flight! I found this very inappropriate as if it’s system fault and you could see I was there for more than an hour I should be the priority. The car we have been given was a Peugeot not the jeep I booked and I did say I want a jeep but they said all out but when we went to the car park I found many jeeps parked brand new ones, the Peugeot we got is old and the battery was bad not keeping any charge I was stopping every 50 miles to charge the car!! I asked for a newer at the pick up because I knew electric cars has to have a great performing battery if I am doing long drives, this is isn’t my first time hiring an electric car from Europcar, last year got one in Barcelona and the experience was amazing. I won’t recommend the Roma airport desk and would not recommend Europcar in Italy too

I had paid for a dodge charger or similar and was given a Mercedes GLA250 instead. In no way shape or form similar to a dodge charger.

I reserved my car for 30 days from 10 am on day 1 to 10 am on day 30. When I went to the counter to pick up my car in Amsterdam at 11:20 am the counter agent asked “why are you late?” I told him I had reserved the car for 30 days and already paid for it, so I wasn’t “late.” He claimed that my car had now been rented to someone else, and I would have to pay about $200 more to get a different car. I argued with him that this wasn’t right and found it hard to believe that they had already rented “my car.” I asked to speak to his supervisor. He pointed to the clerk next to him. I told him I wasn’t going to pay the additional cost. We continued to argue. His other coworkers (3 of them) just watched the whole discussion. I think they were seeing if he’d be successful in “upcharging” me. The clerk finally relented and gave me my car. When I went inside to pick up the car there were dozens of cars sitting there. The clerk was very rude and unfriendly. I believe this clerk was dishonest and lied to me. He should be fired. I have no doubt they treat other customers like this and bully them into paying additional fees by being rude, unfriendly, and lying.

Very disappointed by the lack of transparency when I made the booking with kayak. I wasn’t aware that I booked without insurance ! I therefore had to add extra insurance upon arrival ! I won’t use kayak anymore and will file a case for lack of transparency …
