The reserved car model was unavailable, and Europcar downgraded us to a different car. Communication with customer service was futile. We waited nearly two hours with hungry children. It's unclear if it was discrimination against Chinese people or just poor service from the rental company. The experience was extremely disappointing!

I booked a child seat through the rental company, but when I arrived at Melbourne Airport, the rental counter said I hadn't reserved it in advance and they didn't have any available on the spot. They told me I had to find a child seat myself before my 2-year-old son could get in the car! I made countless phone calls and searched all over the airport and nearby areas, but couldn't find any child seat rentals or sales. Talking to the rental company's representative over the phone didn't help either. Eventually, the rental company told me to come back the next morning to pick up the car, maybe they would have a child seat, but only 50% chance, and they couldn't guarantee it. Fortunately, the rental company called me later in the evening to inform me that a child seat was available.

Good

Very bad experience. When returning the car at Melbourne Airport, we were in a hurry to catch a flight and were unfamiliar with how to get into the Europcar garage. We went to the Europcar return office to ask for directions, but the staff ignored us and refused to help. They seemed to take pleasure in our distress, knowing we were about to miss our flight. They refused to give us directions to the parking spot nearby and insisted we drive to the designated location. Luckily, we found other helpful people at the airport; otherwise, we would've missed our flight. Due to the rush, my friend's mom twisted her ankle while moving luggage, which caused significant discomfort during our trip. We are extremely dissatisfied with the staff's indifferent and gloating attitude.

the counter staff was helpful. the process was smooth. car was clean

did my booking through the app, fuss free process
