The counter only checked the document issued by QEEQ, ignoring my notarized Hague Apostille. Europcar's system is mediocre; the address, phone number, and email all need to be handwritten. After explaining that I had purchased all the insurance before departure, the counter did not push additional insurance, which is a good practice among major car rental companies nowadays.

Initial attitude of member of staff I spoke to was dismissive, only two cars available at very high prices.

Excellent phone manner, very helpful, and found the car I wanted at the Europcar site I first found dismissive who said they did not have a Captur. Easyrent found the right car at the right price with no hassle.

Long wait to receive car. No option to check for damage yourself. Upsold at every opportunity. Lots of hidden fees and high taxes. Overcharged in return. Overcharged for additional driver refueling and an extra day. Manager acknowledged mistakes and no resolution has been met. Terrible experience.

The experience was terrible. The charge was double what was quoted on easyrentcars. The electric car would not charge as europcar gave us a charging card that did not work. They did not pick up the phone for hours to assist us; leaving us stranded in Portugal. Their response when the issue was raised was abysmal.
