Process very smooth and fast especially drop off but need to spend more time to explain with more clarity charges and payments taken not clearly explained to me. CS not very accommodating if you dont book directly with company,wanted to extend my rental period but within 24 hour period but wouldnt do it and would charge a penalty and another full days charge. Took payment for toll and fuel deposit immediately when could have taken a pre authorisation as with the insurance.

Excellent car for a great price. We arrived early and were unable to get the car and the counter person was unhelpful and disinterested. We had to come back a couple of hours later to get the car on the time we scheduled it. Would have expected some help

September 25, 2019 to October 7, 2019. Entire rental process went very well. Not one problem and staff were great. Great rental location with clean facilities and cars. Rent from them with confidence. I have traveled to over 20 foreign countries and never had a better rental experience. Larry

The car is in bad condition. I rent 4 door economic car, but receive 2 door fiat 500. Even worse, the car can’t speed up as expected. The cover for gas refill can’t close firmly which put us in dangers

OK Rentacar was good value, though still more expensive than last year at same time of year. Our Renault Captur wasn’t as smooth or nice to drive as other cars I’ve rented - drives like its really heavy and the gear box isn’t very easy. The car’s windscreen was dirty inside the car. There was also no screen wash which was really annoying and quite unsafe driving down the motorway, unable to wash smears off the windscreen. Attitude of counter staff was also very transactional - short and quite unfriendly.

Completely dishonest. There was a scratch on the rim, can't say for sure it was me or if it already was there, and they were going to charge me over 500 euros. It was explained to me that because the car had a sport package, I just wanted a basic cheap car, the rim was expensive. Not believing the employee I asked to see the breakdown of the cost, all of a sudden the price was 200 euros plus a bunch of hidden fees, such as a 60 euro administration fee?! well this is happening, he is talking in Portuguese to his co-worker and I can not understand what they are talking about. I really feel like I got swindled. DO NOT use - there are a lot of different car rental companies that you can use

Nous n'avions pas remarqué que la réservation était prévue pour 12h et notre vol nous a fait arriver tôt le matin. La voiture pas prête et bien sûr pas d'autre voiture de disponible. Le vendeur nous a proposé une gamme au dessus entre 150-250€ (la blaque !). J'ai dû faire appel au responsable pour lui expliquer la situation : nous devions absolument être en fin de matinée à l'hôpital car maman ayant eu un AVC les visites n'ont lieu que l'après-midi. Si nous devions attendre jusqu'à 12h pour avoir la voiture, nous ne serions jamais arrivé à l'heure pour les visites. Bref, heureusement que le responsable était là car le vendeur au guichet n'a pas eu du coeur, rien, neutre et il nous a même dit "ce n'est pas une raison valable"... Ah bon et c'est quoi d'autre de raison valable alors si ce n'est l'urgence d'aller voir sa mère à l'hôpital ? Bref, service pitoyable. Plus jamais Hertz à Porto en tous cas !

Everything was good, but at the counter the staff could not find my reservation for a long time (approx. 10 mins), also deposit was a little higher than I expected (approx 900 EUR, I expected 500-600 EUR, but it was returned in full finally). The car was clean and in good condition.

Très long moment pour récupérer la voiture. Et après fait les papiers pour prendre la voiture il nous l’ont donner sans l’avoir vérifié avec nous. Je n’ai pas contrôlé et quand je l’ai retourner après un jour de location le pneus arrière était déchiré. Problème ou la voiture avais lors que je l’ai prise. Je vous conseille de regarder lors de la prise en charge care ils n’on pas le temps. Si vous ne le faite pas vous risquer comme moi de payer le dommage meme avec l’assurance

Originally Hertz (on behalf of Thrifty) tried to give us a car much smaller than we paid for. After complaining we were given a larger car. The customer service person was very pushy with an insurance sale (an extra 120 euros we were not expecting) despite the fact we had bought insurance from you in advance. The cs person did not exlain anything to do with the car - where lights were, indicators etc as is normal. The language of the dashboard was left in German which was very confusing. A poor experience.

Nous avons réserver notre véhicule sur internet, donc très facile et prix très abordable (pour Porto Portugal). Cependant à notre arrive au guichet, la dame nous a proposé une assurance que nous avons refusé (l'ayant déjà sur ma cb) elle nous a donc donné une voiture en très mauvais état, avec des croix partout sur l'état des lieux, et en nous disant bon courage!! Bref elle se foutait de nous. Nous avons alors entamé un processus de négociation pour pouvoir enfin au bout de 3/4 d'heures avoir une voiture digne de ce nom!!

Attention, cette compagnie essaie de vous vendre l’assurance en disant que la carte présentée n’est pas une carte de crédit. Étant en possession d’une carte visa premier, avec un plafond largement au dessus de la caution et ayant un solde sur le compte au dessus également, il a fallu que j’insiste pour essayer ma carte (qui bien sûr, a fonctionné) pour ne pas payer une assurance supplémentaire qui m’aurait coûté plus cher que la location. De plus, j’avais réservé pour 9h30 la voiture et à 10h09 lorsque j’ai finis les modalités, la voiture était encore en nettoyage. J’ai attendu 7 minutes de plus et ensuite, j’ai dû vérifié s’il n’y avait pas de rayures, donc 15/17 minutes perdues en plus de celles déjà perdues. C’est dommage.

I asked for a small car and that's what I got so I was okay with that and the condition of it. However i paid over £300 online with waiver insurance but then paid over £300 again for waiver insurance at turisprime complete rip off would rather crawl on my holiday than us them again. Customer ( counter) service completely stuck up we keep you open and pay your wages if customers like us don't book with you, you would be looking for new jobs.

Car had warning lights come on almost immediately, forcing us to bring the first car back to Europecar. Both cars had extensive exterior damage (scratches, small dents, pieces broken off) that had to be documented before leaving the location. Second car was missing the cargo cover that hides contents of rear area. The counter person at Europecar used many "scare tactics" to try to persuade me to buy their insurance even though I had already bought insurance through Easyrentcars.

Europcar could not provide the reserved SUV. The first female counter staff told me that the reserved car was not returned by the previous car hirer. She then recommended a BMW X6 with additional cost Euro 300 per day but it was on promotion on that date that it was reduced to Euro 200 per day. I refused her recommendation. After about 15 minutes, she said there was only one car, but not SUV, was available. I checked that it was only a four doors car. I therefore complained the bad service of Eourpcar. Later a male duty manager came to me and said my reserved SUV was broken down. It was the different explanation to the former female staff. He was fooling around about 10 minutes and approached me again that a 7 seater car could be provided to me. He leaded me walking around about 5 minutes to find the car but he did not exactly know where it was. I waited at the office for about 5 minutes again. Eventually we checked the car and I accepted. A very unhappy experience with the service of Eoropcar. I will never hire car from this worst company again no matter go to where and will tell my friends not to use this company as well.

I hated it, they did not accept my credit card, because "there was not my printed name on the card". Then they would not accept my AMEX. Then luckily I had a spare card with sufficient funds. I almost lost my booking and would have a no-show. This rental company did not accept free driving in Spain. The car lights of maintenance turned on.
