“Europcar pickup terrible, car ok and drop off good.”
About Europcar:6.3/10
Drop off was great the pick up was not a good experience.
Firstly pickup location says Pyrmont but it was actually Sydney Central which is a different location. I did everything I could to make a smooth checkin as we had an itinerary and small children, including doing the online checkin. The system was apparently down when we arrive and so the guy seemed to have no idea what we had booked and paid for already. Including that we had booked two child seats but was only given one! Eventually after complaining the guy went to a different site to get one, he was still confused as to what we paid for including trying to charge me twice for this booking. He also said he was too busy for a pre inspection so I had to take pictures and email to Europcar; there was a lot of damage and I didn't know what they had recorded. All in it added a two hour delay, to the start of our journey which cost us. Also when I emailed the pictures I got one back saying this doesn't mean any proof it was pre existing! No problems dropping it off.

Responsive on queries I had, just one problem of the pick up location not matching. Luckily I spotted in time.
“A beautiful beginning but a terrible distasteful ending.”
About Europcar:7.3/10
The car that they gave was in a very good condition and new . We had no issues during the pick up because instructions were clearly stated as per email with several reminders. However upon drop off, there were no clear instructions to where the drop off place in the airport as there were so many terminals. we called in the europecar call center who gave us wrong info to park the car in the car park then go to the eurocar counter. Upon parking the car and heading to the counter, the counter personals were not helpful at all and blamed us on the error of drop off. They were very rude and gave us a difficult time to handback the car ( those staff in melbourne airport terminal 3 counter)
No matter how careful you are, there's always some kind of fees to be charged and they never tell you this, e.g. premium location charge, which was never mentioned to me neither when I booked the vehicle nor when I met the counter staff to collect the car.
I trusted Europcar that they should have checked the condition of the car such as sketches. Luckily I took a video and found out there are many sketches which were not recorded. Moreover, the vehicle was not fully top up with petrol and I wonder why ?
Our experience with europcar was terrible. We arrived at the counter in Sydney, and since we showed our license and it was in Spanish they would not give us the car. They needed a translated version of the license and if we did not have one they would not give us the car. We then asked for a refund, but they would not give it to us. We had to translate the license which costed 100 dollars and we had to wait for 3 hours in order to receive the translation. This is ridiculous, we have been all over the world and this has never happened to us. We also went to other cities in Australia and NO ONE asked us for the translated license. We are never renting with this company again, and the staff member has very rude as well. Our experience was terrible, and we lost half a day in the agency
