Mauvaise surprise

I rented a Polo, but the rental company gave me an old, beat-up Toyota. The car showed a tire pressure warning after just one day, and I had to exchange it in another city, which caused great inconvenience to my trip. During the car return, an attendant, who seemed to be Indian, inspected the car with a flashlight, nitpicking every little thing. They blamed some scratches on me even though they weren't my fault. Since I swapped the car midway and forgot to take photos, I had no choice but to accept their damage assessment. I suspect they were nitpicking because I didn't buy their insurance. On top of that, they charged some €0.5 daily emissions fee, which I find shameless.

Rented a Peugeot 308 SUV but got an old Opel hatchback.

Very good service by Europcar staff at Alicante airport. Collection of vehicle was fast and straight forward. Car was perfectly clean outside with a seal across the door to show it had been CV19 cleaned inside. Drop off was really excellent - a lady met us as we pulled in the drop off bays, she checked it over and signed us off in less than 5 mins. Got an email 10 mins later with certificate to say all was fine and no extra charges for anything (as I expected). Europcar - Keddy run a great service - superb!

QEEQ made the whole booking process very easy - highly recommend

I booked an economy (Corsa or similar), but was initially given a Fiat 500 (I had a total of 800 km to drive, hence did not want a micro), which I managed to avoid and was finally given a Toyota Yaris instead. The guy at the desk was very eagerly trying to sell me additional insurance, claiming that the all covering extra insurance I had (taken at the time of bookin; insurance by AXA) would be useless if something happened. The car was in a very poor condition with all corners scratched heavily, the front spoiler skirt almost falling off and a big dent/scratch extending from the passenger front door all the way to the back. Only 6 scratches were listed and as I felt being rushed out of the office I took photos/videos of all visible defects (later realized that I didn't even manage to spot all of these). At least managed to convince the guy at the parking-office (not at the counter) to come to check the car with me before taking off. Hesitantly he came and very briefly looked around the car and listed three additional defects on the paperwork. Was it someone with less experience with cars instead of me, none of those would have been listed. At least on returning the car I was verbally given an "all good", so hopefully, no further expenses will be claimed from me.

First class service, one minor 'challenge' at the time of collecting the vehicle but the counter staff worked very hard to resolve the situation to my satisfaction.

Very pleased with the service provided by Easyrentcars.com; will definitely use this service again
