europcar were very good in the execution of keddy by Europcar

It was very trouble free

Good value and kept informed

Still tried to hard sell me insurance. Showed me why the Axa policy sold by easyrentcars didn’t cover bodywork damage.

Good.

The car battery was not connected correctly, which resulted in a dead car and a lost day waiting on Europcar's repair person. Then we had a flat tyre, which resulted in another lost day because Europcar's staff/systems made a number of errors meaning we had to wait around for 6 hours before the thing was repaired. The car had not been adequately cleaned before i took possession it, and after the smell of the cleaning products had worn off, the car actually stank of cigarette smoke. A promised reimbursement for the lost days has not yet been processed to my account by Europcar either.

Needed the PIN clarifying on return.

We arrived slightly early but the Europcar guy was friendly and went out of his way to help us get away as quickly as possible. It would have been five stars if the guy hadn't then tried to sell us excess insurance (which we already had). This made the whole thing slightly uncomfortable, which was a major shame as otherwise it would have been perfect. Please can Europcar train its people not to clumsily up-sell insurance to its customers? It seems to be endemic in the sector, unfortunately. I want to be left alone to make my own decisions about what insurance I buy, not frightened into buying Europcar's insurance!
