" Whilst not quite the cheapest, Europcar has given a good price and reliability. The car was excellent and better than expected. "
" This is the third car hire in a row where we have used Europcar, and each has been excellent. At Bastia airport, Europcar have really got it well organised - we had no queue, whereas other hire companies did, and it was easy to find the car with a little help. Registering was easy, and we were not hassled at all. "

" At least they didn't try the hard sell on Extra Insurance when I collected the car. "
" The car was not the type I ordered. The roads and parking in Corsica are very difficult so I wanted a small car. I was actually given a large Estate Car which was totally unsuitable. The car should have been full of fuel but was empty. I didn't realise this until I almost ran out and panicked as I had to urgently find a fuel station. The car was filthy and had rubbish in from the last user. I.E tins of orange juice. "

" I am concerned that Auto Europe was not able to ensure that quotations given were accurate and true with regard to Alamo. Might the same apply to all other companies on their list? However the website was clear. "
" Alamo is a totally misleading company. I chose you based on price quoted in comparison with competitors. You confirmed on website and subsequently in email a charge of €40 for an extra driver and "around" €5 per day break down cover. There was no explanation why the actual price was€78 for an extra driver and €9/day for breakdown cover. I was honest with you in all my responses. A 95% increase in the extra driver cost and an 80% increase in breakdown cost. How could I ever trust you again? "

" Despite adding two booster seats to my Auto Europe voucher, Europcar said they could not fulfil that part of my booking. The voucher said I should pay for the booster seats directly with Europcar. However, Europcar said if I haven't paid for them in advance then they are not reserved and they can't help me. "
" Damage process wasn't very clear. I was asked to sign a document saying there was no damage on the vehicle without seeing it. Upon finding a scuff on the front wing of the car I was advised to just take a photo. The process was ok but the communication wasn't great and didn't seem consistent with the paperwork. "

" When I returned the car at drop-off, the attendant told me I had to get the car valeted. Given that the car wasn't that clean when I collected it and I was rushing for my flight, this request was simply ridiculous. There was some sand and dust in the cabin which is entirely consistent with a beach holiday. They don't have vacuum cleaners at Europcar? "
" The waiting time to collect the car was exceptionally long with the line stretching into the car park. Standing for an hour in the midday sun wasn't a comfortable experience. The car we rented broke down the following morning necessitating a four hour round trip back to Bastia Airport from where we were staying to exchange the vehicle. "

" as mentioned above , very poor customer services and bad attitude of staff "
" When I picked up the car is was dirty on the outside , so much so I could not see out of the windows. After a few days the windscreen wash jets stopped working so I had to open the bonnet and fill the reservoir. I should not have to do that. When I returned the vehicle , all Europcar were bothered about was trying to extract money from me because I had not hoovered the car out. They are very disingenuous , they try to make additional revenue by referring to t and c in the contract that they do not make you aware of on collection. I was then verbally abused by the staff member and refused to pay the fee of 120 euros. I will be complaining to Europcar Head Office but expect you to do the same. "

" Efficient booking process with clear instructions on pick up arrangements. We were slightly confused why Autos Europe should stipulate an International Drivers licence was required. the hire was in Corsica which the UK Government web site confirms does not need an international driving licence and the hire company did not require one. A little irritating as we paid for the international licence just in case it was required. That was a waste of our money. "
" The staff were polite and efficient and there were no long queues and most importantly on returning the vehicle a member of staff accompanied us out to the parking area to inspect and confirm there were no damages. "

" I had a very disappointing experience arriving in Bastia airport. I had to deal with extremely unprofessional and rude staff in the Europe Car counter. Literally the employee when she gave us the key for the car she said she hopes she wont see us again. Her name is Chantal. The previous day after registering for the car we saw that the time was not convenient and we needed the car urgently earlier. We called Auto Europe and they transferred our call to Bastia airport. The employee was polite and said it wont be a problem to take the car at 8 30 to 09. When we arrived we talked with the staff at the time explaining the situation and asking for next steps. The woman almost shouting told us she doesn't care what we were told and we need to wait till she wants to call us. We waited in the area and an hour after we asked again in order to decide to get another car from another company. To our surprise we didn't receive any answer, she was talking to us like we were idiots and we are bothering her day. We waited in total 3 hours and tried unsuccessfully to talk with them in total 3 times. As a result we received the keys too late for our meeting. I would like to add that I speak french and my boyfriend is french so there was absolutely no language barrier. Also it didn't seem to be a crowded day at all. We are still very disappointed by the poor communication and character from the staff of Europe Car in Bastia Airport and I would for sure warn my network about Europe Car department in Bastia. "

Once I got to the car it was badly damaged on the passenger side , which I then had to photograph and send by email - which then got returned in French I still have no confirmation this damage has been accepted as not of my doing. The car was not full of fuel , and the aircon was appalling for operating in such a hot climate - there was no cooling effect in the rear seats and the control had to be set to 14 max auto and recirc to be slightly effective "

There were two different queues, and no one really knew what was happening. It was an hour and a half before we were able to drive away. It wasn't the fault of the staff on the desks, but their management is a disgrace. They were clearly overbooked and understaffed. I felt really sorry for the people who were working there. They were just handling out any car, so we actually ended up with a much bigger car than we had booked. Initially they gave us an automatic, when we'd ordered a manual. We had to queue up again to get it changed. No one checked the vehicle with us for damage, they just signed it off without looking! "

Normally, this is never a problem at the car pick up, we just change the named driver to my husband, and they take his credit card. At Europcar in Bastia airport, they said we could not change the name driver unless we called Europcar to make the change. As we had already lined up to speak to counter staff for nearly 40 minutes, we didn't bother and ended up paying 77 Euros to add another driver. "

The roads in Corsica are extremely challenging - an automatic box would have helped considerably but wasn't available until the higher specification models, which are pointless for a solo traveller and out of a lot of people's price range. At my destination, automatics were available from Fiat 500 upwards, which would have made driving a lot easier. Other than this, you've got it just about right. "

So waiting the best part of an hour to pick up the car was not a good experience. On returning the car, as instructed when picking up the car I did not wait in the queue, but tried to hand the paperwork to one of the staff, and was told to wait.

" Pre-booked a small car at Bastia Airport (Corsica) and arrived to find two SIXT personnel trying to deal with too many customers, despite two vacant positions being unmanned. This is not due to an unexpected number of clients as they know how many people are booked and when they are arriving...and it was the same last year. I made the mistake of thinking last year was exception but apparently not! ...they just don't employ enough people meaning it takes more than 1 hour to get a car. When I did get to the agent, who was pleasant and efficient, they said they would upgrade me to a larger car free of charge. I naively thought great, only to discover it was a Kangoo and a small bus. Grateful to get out after more than an hour I looked at the contract for any indication of damage, only to find a limited number of 3 letter acronyms seemingly describing some damage. You cannot decipher the content. Then at the car you find a piece of paper on the seat, advising you'll be charged €50 if the car is deemed not clean enough on its return but more annoyingly a request to look over the car for any damage and take images of any damage that is not already detailed on the contract. A- you cannot analyse the damage recorded on the contract to know what it is B- You are only allowed to take 7 images C- You are requested to send the images to an email address using your own phone and data etc... D- You only have 30 minutes to do this from when the Contract was completed So basically SIXT takes an already anxious and expensive part of a holiday, with all the up-selling that goes on with Car Hire, and makes it worse by complicating and reducing support to the point of stupidity.

This is not due to an unexpected number of clients as they know how many people are booked and when they are arriving...and it was the same last year. I made the mistake of thinking last year was exception but apparently not! ...they just don't employ enough people meaning it takes more than 1 hour to get a car. When I did get to the agent, who was pleasant and efficient, they said the would upgrade me to a larger car free of charge. I naively thought great, only to discover it was a Kangoo and a small bus. Grateful to get out after more than an hour I looked at the contract for any indication of damage, only to find a limited number of 3 letter acronyms seemingly describing some damage. You cannot decipher the content. Then at the car you find a piece of paper on the seat, advising you'll be charged €50 if the car is deemed not clean enough on its return but more annoyingly a request to look over the car for any damage and take images of any damage that is not already detailed on the contract. A- you cannot analyse the damage recorded on the contract to know what it is B- You are only allowed to take 7 images C- You are requested to send the images to an email address using your own phone and data etc... D- You only have 30 minutes to do this from when the Contract was completed So basically SIXT takes an already anxious and expensive part of a holiday, with all the up-selling that goes on with Car Hire, and makes it worse by complicating and reducing support to the point of stupidity.

" Wasn't happy with the hidden charges. Had to pay an extra 48 euros once we got to Bastia. "
" Staff very unfriendly at the front desk when collecting the car. All paperwork in French and no explanation about which number to quote in the email to them to report any car damage. This led to a lot of stress when the email kept bouncing back and there was a 45 minute time limit. Returning the car was easy and the guy was very friendly. "

" Dreadful. When questioned about the fact that the voucher number provided by Auto Europe did not work on the Europcar website to enter driver info, they were very unhelpful both by email and by phone. When eventually referred to the customer care adviser he said I should not have been referred to him as he only dealt with post hire problems not pre hire and he would ask a supervisor to phone me. He never did. "
" Dirty windscren inside affected driving into the sun. Sticky residues (a) from notice left on inside of windscreen and (b) on car paintwork made it look dirty. "

" The car suited our needs and overall we were very happy "
" Excellent service apart from picking up the car as the man never explained anything and seemed to be in a hurry to get on with something else or go home. We never encountered this any where else or when we returned the car and dealt with someone different "

" No one at drop off airport to receive vehicle "
" Good service, good price, Thank you "
" all good, Helpful, efficient and good understanding of English and Franglais "
" All fine. Easy to book online. "
" Car was fine and staff friendly. However, we had fairly long waiting times at the airport for pick up and drop off. "
" Very crowded car park "
" Easy booking process and good rate. "
" On the positive side we had an upgrade on arrival which made the amount paid about £20 per day for a C4. On a less positive note we were presented with a form (which appeared to have been produced locally on a word processor rather than an official company form) which stated we either paid 25 euros or promised to return the car as clean inside and out as the state we hired it in. I have never seen such a form as this before and surely cleaning the car for the next client should be factored into the price. All the paperwork to be signed was in French. Lastly, on collecting the car the employee in the yard was not very helpful and did not fully inspect the car with us. In fact we had to draw his attention to a scratch in the paintwork. "
" Citroen Model C3 was in excellent condition when it was handed over at the airport.It was also very reliable to drive. Thank you. "
" The staff at Bastia Airport were very friendly and highly efficient "
" Efficient "
" Pick up and return were easy at Bastia airport. We ordered and paid for the car on Feb 5th. 4 months later, at pick up, we were told no small cars available. How can this be ? We were issued with a Peugeot Partner. We found the 'ride' on windy bumpy roads uncomfortable. We would have much preferred our ordered small car. "
" Very helpful -- we had a query on our early return, which was answered to our total satisfaction. "
" Excellent car supplied, with helpful staff, who spoke a little English. "
" Good choice, simple website. Good value and the cars provided have always been excellent "
" Budget car chosen but it was virtually new and suited us perfectly. The assistant at the airport was great and we were driving the car away less than 30 mins after landing. Excellent service "
