It was too slow, only one staff member, and I had to wait in line for 2 whole hours! The efficiency was really low. They gave me three cars, all of which were compact cars, not mid-size SUVs like the Pajero Sport.
Their attitude was pretty good; they were polite and didn't push insurance sales. However, their service was lacking. I rented a Mitsubishi Pajero SUV, but they gave me a Ford pickup. Firstly, this car is available in our country and is half the price of a Pajero. The vehicle was very rough, just a work tool, with no floor mats in the trunk, only bare metal. You can imagine it like a dump truck. Our luggage suffered a lot of wear and tear, with the back of the suitcase getting badly damaged. The trunk was too large, and the back seats were too small, making it uncomfortable for passengers. The luggage slid around in the trunk and was out of reach unless you climbed inside. The diesel engine was also very noisy, making a loud rumbling noise while driving.
“Less attention to detail otherwise it was a great experience.”

I would like to share a constructive feedbacks as follows:
1. Counter check in staff
The counter staff were awesome and nice, they informed us in advance that they're new, they did their best to follow all the written instructions to help with the pick up process. Behind us there were 3 other customers. But shame for Europcar, they should have some senior staff to assist the new staff to avoid long queue and complaints.
2. Full tank for the new renter
Make sure to check the fuel meter when the previous renter return the car to make sure it's full tank. I
I picked the car up with millage at 3679km (pic.#1) , just realized when I was travelling at 3772km - mileage left to travel 765km (pic.#2), it was just 3km away from airport that the fuel meter showed only 15 bars (full tank is 16 bars). For the clear details at 3777km when I pulled over to take another photo (pic.#3). I didn't bother to return to the counter to complaint as I had an appointment that I was late because of the long process.
In the middle of the trip, I refuelled and it showed 16 bars on the fuel meter and millage left to travel 926km (pic.#4). From this only, I felt cheated as if only I took the vehicle full tank, I would have travelled another 161km.
Another clear information (pic.#5) when I refuelled again at the Z-petrol station by Frankton Road in Queenstown before return the vehicle at Queenstown airport which only 2.5km away. Again, millage left to travel still 957km and not 765km as when I picked up.
Thank you.
