Easy and simple

Always check tire pressure after pickup, you can pump them at any gasoline station. Repsol is my recomendation. Make sure you pay for extended insurance coverage in places like Madeira :)

LUIS PONTE was very UNPROFESSIONAL, rude and arrogant.when I dropped off the vehicle the inspection with done with a fine tooth “ per say”. It was a very very thorough inspection. MELVIN even went on his knees in front of every tire to inspect for damage HOWEVER when I picked up the vehicle he wasn’t very keen on documenting all the existing damage on the vehicle. That made me very uncomfortable as if they are looks for tho fa to charge you when you drop off the vehicle.

I found the staff at the counter treated me differently as I had used a 3rd party provider and not booked direct and criticised the paperwork I had. They then tried to sell me excessive insurance that I didn't want. When I said no they then told me my car would be inadequate for the terrain and tried to bully me into an upgrade. All the time they were pushing to spend more money at the desk, I guess they get commission.

Best place to rent a car.

We didn't get the car we reserved. They over-booked and we waited over 2 hours to even get a vehicle. The vehicle was different than what we wanted. After the entire experience, the drop-off location closed 5 minutes prior than they are supposed to and sent us to a different location. By the time we reached the location, our formerly full gas tank was no longer full so they advised us to drive 15 minutes away to re-fill it and come back to return. Upon return, they over-charged us for the vehicle and I need to get this sorted out. Europcar is not responding to my emails.
