A Good Ride

Too many people, queued for two hours

The queue was very long, almost an hour before it was my turn. The lady at the counter saw that I had purchased full insurance and offered me a choice of Mercedes or Volvo. I thought they were similar models, but they were actually upgrades, requiring an extra 950 USD. After explaining that I only needed an A3 or a similar model, the staff member seemed displeased and said there were no A3s available. Eventually, I was given a hybrid Toyota. During the pickup, I noticed damage all over the car but the pickup assistant was very nice and recorded the damages on the pickup form in French. Five days later, the car kept reporting faults, and the hotel front desk had to help me contact the car rental company in French to see if they could repair it. The response was that they don't fix cars and advised me to drive back to the airport to exchange it. Worried about potential breakdowns on the road, I had to refuel and exchange it for another Japanese car at the airport rental station so that the trip could continue. Returning the car went smoothly, and the inspection guy was very professional and much faster than the front desk.

The wait time was very long, the service efficiency was poor, they kept trying to upsell other car types and insurance. They didn't even carefully check our order. We requested an automatic car but were given a manual one! Staff at the location were unfamiliar with the car's features, and the GPS was extremely difficult to use and essentially useless!

Nous avons attendu presque 2 heures pour récupérer notre véhicule, avec 2 enfants et étant prétendument en file "prioritaire". Aucune vérification du véhicule effectuée par EuropCar lors de sa récupération. On nous a proposé une upgrade vers un véhicule "offre spéciale super interessante": plus de 2 fois plus cher pour avoir un véhicule de catégorie supérieure: scandaleux !

En résumé : Temps de vol Paris -Nice :1h15 , temps d’attente pour récupérer le véhicule 1h15 , jamais vu cela !
