CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON EUROPCAR IN GRANADA

Missed the return time and went back the next morning. They didn't charge extra and were very polite.

It's okay, but the car wasn't full of fuel when I received it. I wasted over 100 RMB!

Satisfied

The store wasn't open at the agreed time, waited outside for a long time.

The store is right on the left side of Granada train station, easy to find. The parking lot is on the right side, just a few steps away. They gave us a much larger business van instead of the automatic normal car we had booked. The staff said they had no automatic cars left and offered us either the larger business van or an upgrade to a Mercedes for an additional 50 euros per day. Shouldn't they automatically upgrade us in such situations?! This delayed us a bit. We called QEEQ customer service and after ten minutes of no response, we expressed our dissatisfaction to the store. The staff provided us with a Volkswagen that was just returned and not cleaned. When we returned the car at Sevilla train station, we mentioned that the car was dirty when we received it and were unsure if we would be charged extra, sigh.

This order involved picking up the car at the Granada store and returning it in Seville. We booked a Polo but ended up with a hybrid Yaris. The car was average, with poor power, though overall acceptable. Another order involved picking up in Madrid and returning in Granada. It was a disaster. Europcar's customer service told us that the key box was at the entrance of the Granada train station (it was actually in the parking garage), causing us two girls to drag our suitcases to the office only to find nothing. When the office reopened at 4:30 pm, we had to waste more time returning the keys. They later claimed we were late returning the car and wanted to charge us (though after some communication, they did not), but then they charged us 22 euros for parking because we didn't park in the designated spot! Despite calling to ask about the key box and designated parking, we received incorrect information and ended up paying the price. Rentalcars was not helpful in addressing the parking fee issue, very frustrating! Never renting from Europcar again! If you want trouble, go ahead!

Terrible experience, they tried to upsell which was already bad, but they also didn't have the car we reserved and ignored our reservation. They took advantage of our language barrier, and ultimately ignored customer service and canceled our order abruptly. Our group of four was stranded in Granada.

Excellent service. There were scratches on the hood due to an accident, but the staff pleasantly said it was fine.

This car had a lot of wear and tear with at least 8 ine items describing them. There was a a persistent whine at when cruising on the motorway, and a disturbing vibration when overtaking on the motorway. The car's warning light for low oil popped up on my drive in to return the car and was alarming.

Acceptable

The service at Granada and Madrid airports was good, and there weren't many people.

The police did not accept the license information provided by the car rental company online, and held the rental company responsible. However, the rental company shirked their responsibility.

I reserved a Mercedes C-Class at the same price, but they gave me a GLA. Luckily, I checked the model on the key and argued for a few minutes to finally get the C-Class.

The front desk staff is good and answers all questions, but efficiency is too slow. Make sure to allocate enough time for pick-up and drop-off.

I've rented from Europcar many times and have always been satisfied.

Europcar provided us with a car that was due for an oil change. We rented the car from February 17th in Granada, Spain, and returned it on February 28th at Madrid Airport, totaling eleven days. On the sixth day, the 23rd, a red warning light appeared, indicating the need for an oil change. I contacted the rental platform to ask if it was necessary and what the consequences would be if we didn't change it. They suggested visiting a local branch of their company for assistance to avoid safety risks. In Porto, we found their rental point below the British company. I requested a car exchange, but they claimed they didn't have the same model. The staff took us to a repair shop and asked me to pay the full cost upfront, 76 Euros, with a promise of reimbursement at the Madrid drop-off point. It took three hours to change the oil, ruining our afternoon plans. At the Madrid Airport drop-off, they refused to reimburse the oil change cost, telling me to contact the rental platform. Europcar failed to check the car thoroughly before handing it over and was unhelpful in resolving the issue, showing no willingness to admit their mistake or apologize sincerely. How can we trust such a rental company?

Europcar was very bad. I booked a manual car on Zuzuche.com, but at the location, the staff recommended an automatic car with an additional 10 euros per day. Considering the narrow roads in Europe, I accepted the upgrade. Since it was an upgrade, I only confirmed the upgrade fee and didn't look through the contract thoroughly. Who would have known that when returning the car, the upgrade fee turned out to be 20 euros per day. Without my consent, they had also added glass insurance and associated taxes, making the final bill double the original cost. When we realized the problem, we contacted the return location, who communicated with the rental location. Since the relevant staff wasn't working that day, we agreed to resolve it the next morning. We called at 9 AM, but were told the staff hadn't arrived and asked if they should call us back. Trusting them, we waited for their call, but they never contacted us. When we tried calling back multiple times, no one answered, and it kept going to fax. We never had a chance to verify the situation with the responsible staff member. Later, we checked reviews from UK and US customers and found similar complaints, indicating a widespread issue with honesty and integrity at this company. Out of the four car rentals I booked on Zuzuche.com, three were in the US and were excellent, but the experience in Spain was very disappointing.

Almost everything was doing right, but it was really difficult to find a parking lot in Seville train station. The easyrentcars app described the office of the branch, not the parking lot.
