Everything went well

I had an upgrade which was great which was offered by the helpful agent,iam glad i did

Attempts were made to upsell me to a car I clearly didn't need: "Since there's 2 of you a bigger car might be better" What?! It was a fairly aggressive upsell and along with the usual insurance nonsense, showed disdain for the customer

I booked Passat or similar and Europcar was trying to give me a compact car (Volvo V40), claiming that they don't have anything bigger. After my complains, they offered me Peugeot 3008, which was still way smaller than Passat, but we fit our luggage there (carrying one of the bags on the back seat). I hate when companies offer something which they cannot provide. I booked my trip ~1 month in advance, so they had enough time to prepare themselves. On a good side: the car I got was almost brand new - just 300 miles on its meter and it was very well equipped.

Only one staff member on. Had over an hour to wait for collection. No free coffee or upgrade offered. Staff polite and helpful. Not his fault.

Car very good, staff also.
