Nice and easy

At the end of it I feel like I’m walkinh into a trap set by Europcar after enticing me with attractive discount. Even after paying for full coverage using QEEQ platform. The counter staff refuse to recognize and insist that I have to took up full protection with Europcar. The rate for Europcar protection is almost same as the car rental. End up I have to pay double. Upon returning the vehicle, they charge me extra 1 day because I’m late by 32 minutes but they took more than 30 minutes to process my picking up. I don’t have proof when did I actually get my car but I’m quite sure when I get my car it’s over 9:30am but their system says my pickup time is 8:59am. And my return time they set at 9:31am. Just 32 minutes and I have to pay the full day of rental plus Insurance !! Lesson learnt, be very very careful with Europcar. They will find all means to charge you and maximize their profit

QEEQ has been helpful. After I complain about the insurance, the process a special discount for me but that is not enough to offset what I have to pay overall.

The car was fine but the fuel consumption was very poor, it cost me £84 for fuel, from Oxford to Newcastle (return) and that was using cruise control, travelling 70 mph. We have a family Land Rover and I don't think it would cost as much as that for the same journey. I would make sure I asked about this in future.

They dont appear to be prepared to make clear resdy in time for orderly pick up. After droo off I realize I have my mobile phone mount/holder left in the car. No one from Europcar kind enough to inform me to pick up the item.

Car was very good and counter staff extremely helpful.

Dislike: Took to long to hand the car back
