Beware of europcar car sizes will try and give you a smaller car than you booked

The car rental process was smooth. The first car had a broken turn signal light, but they replaced it right away. However, the second car might have been operated incorrectly, causing the battery to drain. Since it was Sunday and the rental company was closed, I had to get help from a local mechanic to jumpstart it. I recommend checking the user manual before driving.

Europcar is quite professional in Europe, slightly below Hertz. Their stores are large and professional, with clear instructions, which is very important and makes finding your car quickly easier (In this trip, we also used Avis for the third rental, and their instructions were unclear, taking us an hour to find the car, with average customer service and fewer car models, so we won't use them again). Many foreigners rent from Europcar. This is our second rental of the trip, from the airport. Due to a lot of luggage, we were first given a Ford business van (7-9 seats), but it felt too big for parking and maneuvering, so we requested a change (a very wise decision, given that the public underground parking garages have very narrow paths, making it easy for large vehicles to get scratched). The second car was a manual Hyundai sedan, but it couldn't fit our luggage (we could fold down the rear seats to fit the luggage, but that's not safe for travel), so we changed the car for a third time. After several changes, the front desk upgraded us to a manual Jeep for free, which was perfect. The Jeep handled excellently on mountain roads and steep paths, providing a safe driving experience. We returned the car at Avignon train station, which was very convenient, taking only five minutes. The clear instructions and ample parking space were helpful (unlike Avis at the train station, which had very few parking spots, no staff, and lacking designated parking spots could delay your schedule).

I had to wait over an hour and a half to pick up my car on Friday 2 July at the Nice airport.

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

Ras

Over 2 hours before we saw our car - terrible would not use them again.

No issues
