Terrible! I emphasized many times that I didn't need insurance since I had already bought it in my home country! They still insisted that because I was under 25, I had to buy an additional young driver insurance! The communication was difficult as everything was in Italian! Even though I showed them the entire policy from the rental platform stating I didn't need insurance, they forced it on me! When I contacted the rental platform later, I found out I was forced into buying it. What was the point of purchasing the insurance back home? Just to waste money? They even switched my car.
Europcar counter staff was curt and inflexible to the point of being rude. I arrived at 7:45pm for my 8:30pm pick-up. I had buffered in some time in case of flight delay and also in case there was a queue to pick up and inspect the car. Counter staff insisted that she could only start entertaining me at 8:30pm and asked me to come back 45 mins later. For Budget/Avis early pick-up for up to an hour was no issue, which seems fair because if the customer is late for pickup the rental company does not have to honour the booking so most people turn up early. In fact she had offered me an upgrade option which she could process immediately at 7:45pm without having to wait which means the 8:30pm was only a tactic to make me upgrade and not has nothing to do with their pick up policy. She also hinted on processing my booking slowly if I did not take the upgrade. The service level should be consistent whether or not I took the upgrade, this was highly unprofessional behaviour. I was also given a Fiat500L instead of a Golf when I saw that there were at least 5 Golfs when I left the premises. I felt treated like a second class citizen because I had not booked directly with europcar and they did not hide it. Will only booked with Avis/Budget in the future when using this app. Europcar clearly does not really respect EasyRentCars compared to other apps like trip.com or Rentalcars with this staff’s attitude, I sincerely hope that changes overtime when the app gains more market share. you could get the sense that the staff is only motivated to cross sell more add-ons and not deliver on what the app already covers.
