Europcar - Porto Airport Information, Car Rental Instructions & Policies

Long wait to receive car. No option to check for damage yourself. Upsold at every opportunity. Lots of hidden fees and high taxes. Overcharged in return. Overcharged for additional driver refueling and an extra day. Manager acknowledged mistakes and no resolution has been met. Terrible experience.

Thankfully they switched me to an automatic for free and I got a GPS and Bluetooth

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.
