Subperbly smooth rental with Europcar

They asked me again about insurance, which i already have from Qeeq AXA

Thank you QEEQ for the good price of the car ,,,

Car wasn’t ready on arrival even though I was on time so had to wait 30 minutes longer than I should have but after that everything went smoothly.

Very easy to book, helpful online chat and great prices.

If you're for the first time in MXP airport is a little tricky to find where are the rental cars parked. Not enough signs to guide you there. The car return process was really very fast. Thank you

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.

Like: Smooth and efficient transportation. No additional charges was imposed for my 70+ age
Dislike: I had to pay for the GPS although it is a built in system
