I booked a mid to large sedan, specifically a Mercedes C-Class, but they said it wasn't available. They only had an Audi A6 as an upgrade or a hybrid Jeep Compass. I'm used to driving sedans, especially in Germany where most roads are highways or city streets with minimal mountain roads, so the Jeep was not suitable. They mentioned the train station branch had limited options and suggested the airport branch instead. Unacceptable. When signing the contract, they added roadside assistance insurance without any explanation. I had to contact Zuzuche to have it removed. I picked up the car 30 minutes earlier than scheduled, and they extended the rental to 7 days instead of 6. Later, I picked up the car late, and they adjusted it back to 6 days. Be cautious about not being too early or late when picking up the car.
The Jeep's acceleration was very slow, which made it more suited for mountain roads than highways, so avoid overtaking recklessly. The car's condition was decent, with a mileage of over 70,000 km, relatively new. During the pickup, one of the tires had a pressure of 1.6 bar. I insisted the staff inflate it, which they did. However, it lost pressure again during the trip, and I had to refill it at a gas station. The garage staff were nice and explained some fuel-related tips. Don't forget to ask for a parking card; it should usually be in the car.
This was my first time using Europcar, and I might not consider them again next time.
1. Due to a train delay, I called the rental company in advance to confirm a 10-minute delay, expecting to pick up the car by 19:10. I arrived at the shop at 19:07, but the staff had already left, so I could only pick up the car the next day. 2. I booked a premium wagon, but was given a sedan instead.
The staff was very kind and humorous. He understood our language limitations well. Returning the car was very convenient; we just handed the key to the receptionist and confirmed the fuel tank was full.
