" Picking up the car was very good, the staff were extremely helpful but I'm unsure of why I've been charged £19.99 after returning the car in perfect condition and only dropping the keys in the lockbox as the business was closed? No one told me I'd be charged anything more once I'd paid for the hire car. How can you charge someone for something that essentially self service when dropping keys in a lock-box? Or is the £19.99 for something else? "

They went the extra mile and this is very unusual nowadays. Thank you. "

" When I started the car ( Fiat 500 ) for the first time I found that the windscreen wipers would not turn off. I then sought help from one of the office staff but was informed that they don't go out of the office to look at a car anymore. When I emphasized the need for assistance one of the staff did go to the car and, after fiddling with the wiper switch, was able to show me the position which turned the wipers off. I expressed my frustration with the fac that there was no manual or information in the glovebox to assist me with understanding the control s on the dashboard. She pointed to a small sticker on the drivers' window which explained how I could download and view such information. I suggested that a one page list of notes about the control buttons etc would be very helpful. Several days later I went to use the air conditioner for the first time and couldn't work out how to do this - no information provided. When loading luggage into the boot I also noted that there was no spare tyre, no jack nor an emergency inflation kit. When I originally collected the car I was told that AA would assist with any mechanical breakdown if it occurred but would not assist with a flat tyre. I ask the question - if I had a flat tyre on a motorway with no spare wheel, no jack, and no means of inflating the tyre what was I supposed to do. At no stage was I informed when collecting the car that there was no spare tyre, no jack etc. Not good enough. "

" The car was almost new and looked good when I picked it up on the Monday. There was a strong smell of cleaning agent masking what I guessed had been heavy smoking by a previous hirer. I expected that to fade. However it didn't. We left home early Tuesday morning to drive from London to Cornwall. As the journey progressed the experience of being in the car worsened. After a few hours we realised that the strong smell was strong cannabis. We attempted to communicate with Europcar throughout the journey from London to Cornwall in order to agree a place en route for us to exchange the car, which by now was making us both ill. This was thwarted every step of the way mostly by agents who didn't seem to understand the problem and by long periods on-hold, which led to nothing. By the end of the day we had spent several hours on the phone - on day one of our break. We decided the following morning, Wednesday, to drive to Newquay airport, where we knew there was a Europcar depot. The worker there agreed with our 'diagnosis' re the cannabis smell and organised a replacement vehicle. This didn't smell of cannabis but did have very strong pungent cleaning fluid smell, which again didn't fade with time. We therefore didn't use the replacement car any more until our drive home on Saturday. This was by far our worst ever car hire experience. We have used AutoEurope many times, always unproblematically, but this one was bad. When I returned the car on Monday Europcar did offer a price reduction on a future rental through them. I asked them to confirm this formally in an email but they have not yet done this. "

" Rented the car through AutoEurope under a B2B agreement, and the vehicle was provided by Europcar. My booking was for a Citroën C3 Aircross, but I was instead given a Škoda Fabia, which is a smaller vehicle with less boot capacity and not as comfortable as the C3 Aircross. The car was rented for a journey of approximately 1,000 miles, and unfortunately, the experience was not as comfortable as expected due to the downgrade in size and class. I understand that rental companies may substitute vehicles when necessary, but the replacement should be of a similar class to what was originally booked. I would appreciate your clarification on why this substitution was made and how such situations can be avoided in the future. "

" I got charged more than I signed up for with no explanation why. Also it took forever to get the car even though I arrived 10 minutes early. I was there at the counter for an hour before I finally got the car. The service desk people showed up late and hadn't organized at all. He didn't have his cars sorted. He also asked for a lot of information that I haven't been asked before about including where I reside, all my flight details, passport details, licenses, etc. I've rented from many car rental services across North America, Europe including many times from London including London City Airport and no one has ever been so intrusive and asked for so much information nor has anyone taken so long. He didn't seem to know what he was doing. Then he lied and made it seem he was giving me a free upgrade when instead he was charging me 60 GBP more for another car which I hadn't asked for. That wasted another 20 minutes. Honestly either this person is a bad hire/badly trained or this is just how bad Europcar always is. It was a terrible experience and I missed my appointment because of all the delays. Also why did you charge me 20% more??? There's no explanation of the charges. I got the final price and did not use anything else. "

" I arrived at Europcar and queued for 15 minutes before eventually being assisted by a friendly guy who asked for all my details (which must have been already available from the booking). He then spent 5 minutes trying to upsell me additional insurance cover. I had already taken additional Collision Damage coverage and Theft Protection from AutoEurope but he insisted that this was insufficient. Even though I declined Europcar's additional insurance cover, he continued to pressurise me into buying it. I repeated declined until he stopped offering it. He then proceeded to try to persuade me to upgrade the car to a "nice Audi Q5 or Mercedes SUV" for only "£40 or £50 a day". Again, he persisted with trying to upsell the upgrade even though I insisted that I did not want it. He then gave up and said he would go and "try" to find me a car. He returned and said he had found a Honda Civic but it would need to be prepared and would take around 20 minutes. So, despite booking the car more than 2 months before, Europcar were unable to deliver what I had paid for. He then said that I could have a small Skoda Fabia if I was in a hurry to leave. As I wasn't prepared to spend another (minimum) of 20 minutes waiting, I took the small car (despite having booked a "Vauxhall Insignia or similar Standard SUV". I had options of renting my car through other suppliers, at a cheaper cost. I chose Europcar on the assumption that they would deliver a professional service. How wrong I was. I will be avoiding Europcar for all my future rentals. "

" We did not get the car we booked. We weren't kept updated with the delay in it being returned to the company and eventually had to go to the site to debate this. There was no solution other than to take a smaller car (of no use to us as we have one and wanted a larger car for a long trip), no willingness to give a rebate, and the manager would not even come and speak to us. We eventually negotiated a discount on our next booking but we may well not use it as they are clearly operating on a knife's edge and you cannot be sure you will get a car. "

" I didn't like the hard sell at the desk when checking in. I had already upgraded at my cost before arriving at the car hire desk. I thought I was being offered a car at the grade I had booked but it turned out to be bigger and therefore more expensive for additional insurance cover. I went to see the first car offered and it was too big. I went back to the desk and after after a wait was given another set of keys. It was a similar make and model and too big. I went back again and after quite a long wait was shown another car. I believe this was the grade of car I had originally booked. I was given given an agreement which then said there was no damage on the car. There was. Fortunately one of the staff outside noted it and signed my form. This whole process took over 1.5 hours Not a very satisfactory experience and I believe I should be sure a part refund got my additional insurance cover as the grade of car I hired was lover than what I had paid for.

" Very long wait for pickup with sever groups picking up and only one person providing checkin service. My big problem was the agent convincing me that I had not purchased full collision damage waiver coverage and selling me his coverage which I subsequently confirmed I had purchased when making my booking through Autoeurope. In the haste of the pickup process I doubted what I had done and believed what the agent told me as he was also rushing to get things done and move people through. This ended up costing me an extra £250 for coverage I didn't need. I'm extre unhappy with that service and will think twice about using Europcar in the future. Also a lesson to be very sure of what you have actually booked as the voucher document provided is not clear with what your coverage includes. I had to go into the reservation details to find what I needed. Not good all the way around. "

" Booking through Auto Europe was no problem, but Europcar was DREADFUL. It looks like I'm being charged more by Europcar for 'extras' than I was by Auto Europe for the 2 week rental. "
" I had booked an economy car (Corsa or equivalent), but because I was dropping-off at a different location I was allocated their 'problem car of the moment' - an oversized, fuel-guzzling, diesel-engined Ford Kuga. It was a nightmare to drive and park!! The very flimsy device in the boot for concealing luggage was broken, so failed to perform its function. I discovered after a while that the car was also unroadworthy, as there was no spare wheel in the boot!! After a few days it kept annoyingly reminding me that the "AddBlue" tank needed to be filled - which I eventually did with difficultly on the final day, fearing that I might not make the drop-off otherwise. There is no fuel station within quite a few miles of Bristol Airport (a fact that is conveniently missing from the information provided), so I found myself unable to return the car with a full tank of fuel. Europcar have charged my credit card with a bill for more than £150, but have not provided me with any information about what this relates to!!! It was a totally dreadful experience from start to finish .... and well beyond. "

I then went in to the main building and saw a representative and told him that I had just posted the keys in the deposit box (within the x3 days). However I was charged for x4 days! Not happy. "
" We were given the hard sell to upgrade. We changed our mind when we saw the upgraded car- we had originally booked a fiat (the smallest/ cheapest). When we asked to go back to our first we were told it had just been leased. We were then given an alternative car- which was not as big as the previous upgrade and we were assured that we would be refunded the £15 per day we had been charged. The cashier told us he was unable to do this (new in post?), but that he would action it but wanted to prioritise getting us 'on our way'. We have sent x4 emails but have not had a reply or refund. To add insult to injury we were charged for x4 days when we returned the car within x3 days, which was the original booking AND we were charged a fuel fee even though we returned the vehicle with a full tank.

Nigel at least tried to assure me (as we went over the car carefully) that Europcar were not like the others - I showed him a picture of the underside with half the undertray hanging off the vehicle, it was noted on the defect report, but really, I should no have been allowed to take the vehicle (as in my opinion it was not roadworthy) and should have been given a new one. The return went fine and no additional charges (unlike Hertz). But they need to be more careful. I will keep taking pictures, including the underside, even if I purchase full insurance. "

" It was OK overall. "
" I'd deliberately asked for a Fiat 500 size small car, as we were on holiday in Cornwall on a bank holiday weekend, and I wanted a car that was easy to park. But it required a new tyre, so we were given a Vauxhall Crossland, an ugly lump of a SUV with a knackered gearbox. I managed to persuade them to let me return it and collect the Fiat when it was ready, but I was very surprised they only appeared to have one available. I was also very pissed off as they asked if we wanted satnav at, I think, about £12 a day. I said no, as we'd use our phones, but when we'd been driving the Fiat a while we suddenly realised it had built-in satnav anyway! This was just a deliberate scam, and pretty bloody disgraceful behaviour. "

However, I didn't like the fact that push you to take pictures when you find a damage not in the paperwork instead of coming to see it and record it directly. Also the car was acceptable for the price but could be a bit better: entry level with minimum equipment and weak engine, 2 years old with 20k miles and a couple of medium scratches/dents. "

" I paid to upgrade the car booked and ended up with a car that drove me mad for the entire 31 I was in possession of it. Every time I locked the car the alarm would go off at least once, if not more often. My mothers neighbours complained but at least I took the time to listens to their problem and apologise, unlike the staff who answered some of the 15 calls I made trying to get this issue resolved. Answers from Europcar staff ranged from its not a serious problem to we aren't a customer service provider. NO YOU AREN'T. Imagine how thrilled I was to hand over the car FINALLY only for the bloke in the returns car park to say oh yes it's a known fault. I am particularly disgusted with the Birmingham Airport staff who, despite repeated and I do mean repeated over many days and almost 3 hours of being on hold to pretty much every Europcar number I could find/was told to call, never once bothered to pick up the phone and answer a call or even worse never returned my call despite other Europcar staff emailing my details. As a long time expat who has hired many many cars I can confirm that this is without a shadow of a doubt the worst experience I have ever had and will certainly make sure no one I know ever touches this company with a 10foot barge pole. The refund of 3 days that I received in no way even behind to compensate for the inconvenience caused by a faulty vehicle never mind the worse than useless customer service. "

" Really bad, the computer issue is of course something that can happen any company, but I would have expected a manager to come to work. I would have at least been told to have t or coffee on them. And as for the experience when there was a car fault, utterly awful. "
" Arrived on Sunday 14th for car pick up at 11.30 to discover their computers were down, they weren't sure if this was just local problem, turned out it was Nationwide. Staff were advising some people to cancel and rebook through another car hire company. I decided to wait around to see if computers came back up. No customer service such as, free tea or coffee on them while we hung around. Three hours later computers were up and eventually we started our journey. On Monday 15th I went to open the boot and realised the car fob didn't work, tried to start engine, didn't work. I then tried to phone Europecar (just after 8am) and what a nightmare. Kept getting cut off, then was told I needed to phone the AA. I asked if they could kindly text me their number or email it as had no access to pen or paper, was told 'no they could not do this'??? Got my colleague to take over phoning them, after multiple calls eventually got AA number. Then a local garage owner came to look, he couldn't fix it, then he called AA. They came and couldn't fix so towed it away. The day was now wasted. I was told I had to go back all the way to Inverness to pick up new car next day. Tuesday 16th I went back to Inverness airport to pick up new car. I arrived back at Ullapool to start my holiday after two days wasted. No once did Europecar apologise or try to offer any compensation. Overall I really disappointing experience from a rather large rental company. "

" The car was a lot smaller than expected so there needs to be clearer comparison on car sizes. For instance we do not have a Vauxhall Crossland vehicles here so it would be good to have a comparison to a type of car that is available in the country of booking. The second thing is the Sat Nqv in the hire car was so out of date that is a as in some areas useless. This led to extra mileage being driven and in some cases was dangerous. Normally this is done by the dealer at service time and so this makes me wonder about the servicing of the vehicles being hired out! "

" Could do better - Ensure ALL staff are trained to accept rentals from British citizens with a British license who live and work in another country as long as they provide evidence of their permanent (or semi-permanent) address to satisfy credit checks. "
" Everything was progressing well until the representative checked the address on my license which did not give a positive credit check. I had rented from Europcar on the 21st February 2023 (i.e. 16 days earlier) without any issues. This time the representative seemed to think that I would not be able to rent a car. I live and work, for now in Norway, BUT I am not a Norwegian Citizen, and as such still retain, LEGALLY my UK License. I provided evidence of my current address in Norway via Electric, Mobile and Internet bills, together with wage slips for the last 5 months. Eventually, after consulting with a senior colleague (the other at the desk also initially said a rental would not be possible), I got my car - a 40000+ mile old Fiat 500 which smelt like someone had thrown up in (there was evidence of something in the rear footwell to support this - I have photos), damage to every wheel and every corner, so I was VERY careful to fully photograph the entire car in case of queries. The car ran poorly at idle. But mostly, it was the check-in which let Europcar down. As a (currently) resident of another country with a VALID UK license, I am allowed to provide evidence of my current home address. I will be getting a Norwegian license as soon as my citizenship is finalised, to stop these sorts of issues in the future. "

In the first instance it was not possible to speak to anyone at Stansted airport, instead my wife, who reported it, had to go through a call centre where they appear to work from a script that doesn't allow the flexibility to deal with specific issues. (I've had this problem before when I hired a car from yourselves and wanted to extend the hire period. I was given conflicting information.) She eventually spoke to a person called James Beattie who was very helpful in sorting out my error. However, whoever first discovered my phone must also be thanked for their honesty.

" On collecting car they would not accept your insurance cover and wanted £1400 charged on a card. If any damage they would take that amount and we would have to claim the money back . Which was not always easy . Therefore had to pay a further £75 for full cover and just drop the keys back , Your price £160 fully covered then became £235 which is ridiculous for just over a days hire "

" James offered an upgrade to a hybrid electric which would save us money and was heavily discounted. When we saw the car we realised why it was discounted as it was high millage and dented and stained inside. I don't think this was really an upgrade but more a swap from a smaller new car to an older better car. I get the sales pitch and he was very good at this and the car did save on driving stress and fuel. I don't think it was worth the upgrade fee all the same, it should have been offered as a direct swap. The chap who then gave us the keys didn't explain how the automatic car worked and left pretty fast. Luckily my husband googled the instructions so we were away within 5 minutes. On the return the chap who met us was fantastic, very efficient, friendly and helpful. I would still be likely to use the company again as it is good value for money. "

" Originally booked to rent a car for 7 days starting on Monday last week. Called up on Monday to say I'd like to book for 6 instead and have Europecar hold the vehicle for me at the airport. Autocar Europe made me cancel the entire booking and charged £95 in order to get a refund, which was only offered on the basis that I had to book with Europecar for the shorter, 6 day period. In total this cost me over £105 as I had to rebook at last minute prices. Arrived at the airport and Europecar said they would very happily have held the car for a day, and they would not have charged Auto Europe for this, so they have no idea why Auto Europe charged £95. Auto Europe's response was that they would have been charged by Europecar. Overall very poor communication between the two companies. Will not be using Auto Europe again. "

Might be good to have a clear Open or working hours sign on the door as I was not aware it was 0800 start and turned up 10 minutes early. Not happy with booking process Not happy with third party taking insurance off me and having to purchase this again via Europe Car. Not happy being £30 out of pocket Also had to give a £100 deposit which wasn't clear during booking process. I was told a refund will take up to 10 days. Not good enough I'm afraid. Europe car should be more efficient with customers money. "
" Lovely vehicle, efficient pick up and drop off. Vehicle clean. I would give 10/10 for this. My other experience with Europe car booking is different: I didn't see the important email - was there one? - for need for 'Gov UK' vehicle licence penalty points check before collecting car. Europe care must make this more clear in the booking process and confirmation process, and follow up email. I was shocked I didn't know this when I went to pick up the car. Counter staff directed me to a 'how to' guide. If my husband hadn't been at home to find my national insurance number I wouldn't have been able to pick up my booked and paid for vehicle. Europe car should ensure a tick box in the booking process for customers to tick to say they recognise need for a DVLA check of penalty points and to take NI details to pick up. I also booked via third party. I paid for their insurance cover for any accidents. I had to pay this again at collection as it wasn't Europe car insurance. This should be made more clear by Europe car in their contract with third party so users are aware. I am about £30 out of pocket as a result. "

" See above under Europcar. I have used AutoEurope on many occasions in the past without complaint. At the moment, in the absence of assistance from AutoEurope to sort out this problem, I will not be recommending AutoEurope to any third party. "
" The car hire commenced at 10am. I attended the Europcar station shortly before 1pm and within the opening hours advised to me by Auto Europe. He told me that they had been very busy did not hold the car - which I prepaid for - for more than 1 hour from commencement of hire. I was regarded as a no show. He purported to rely on a condition applicable to hires booked through third parties to the effect that if the hirer didn't attend within 1 hour of the booked time then they were a no show and Europcar were under no obligation to supply a car. When I pointed out that I was not aware of such an onerous term (complete loss of prepaid fee, while Europcar were at liberty to rent out the vehicle again) he said that Auto Europe should have told me. Nowhere on the documentation sent to me by AutoEurope is such a term highlighted prominently. I cannot even find it in the small print, is it in fact on any of the documentation provided to me by AutoEurope? Europcar insisted that the only way that Europcar would provide a car for me was if I paid £90 more for an alternative vehicle. I told him that he was leaving me with no choice but to do so. On the pro forma that I signed however, I did add words which noted that I was told the vehicle I had booked was not available. PLEASE SORT THIS OUT WITH EUROPCAR. "

" Not business traveller friendly.

Also it is like drawing teeth to get a VAT receipt from you for the hire, which I need for my accounts "
" Car smelt of cigarette smoke. It was rather damaged externally which I would have liked the staff who rented it to me to have explained when he gave me the keys. 24 hours after returning the car, I asked for a VAT receipt for my business expenses. I was told one would arrive automatically before 48 hours after returning the vehicle. 72 hours later I contacted Europcar again and was told I had to apply in writing for a VAT receipt. I have applied for a written receipt this morning, but it has still not arrived as my details needed further clarifying. Replying to the e-mail from Celine Sacman at Europcar customer services was not easy, as my e-mail to her address was returned as undeliverable. Why do Europcar make it so difficult and time-consuming to get a VAT at close of hire?? "

" We had a concerning issue with the hire car in that we experienced a problem securing the car on a public car park. In that after locking the car we found when checking the car locks every time we tried the boot the whole car unlocked, On consulting your documentation we only had telephone numbers for customers services and enquiries which were closed as it was late on a Saturday evening. Your documentation said use the telephone number on the windscreen, however no such information was displayed. After an extensive period we eventually contacted the RAC via your accident telephone number. the problem was sorted for us by the RAC via a telephone conversation. At one time during the anxious period I was preparing to sleep in the car for security reasons. I reported this issue at the time of drop off to the area manager who was on duty, he apologised and would inform his team to ensure that the correct information was on the car or documentation. I found that this customer experience to be unacceptable as it did mar our enjoyment of our journey "

My direct debit for my credit card was due to be paid two days later, so I thought it would be ok. I had prepaid for the booking, but was informed that because it was through a third party company they would need to have it held in a card under my name, so my husband could not use his card. This lead to an embarrassing situation in a busy hire office and I had to scramble about gathering money so that I could use my debit card to cover the £250. "

Additionally - when choosing economy class cars I decided not for the cheapest Vauxhall, but a slightly larger Fiat - in the end I got Vauxhall anyway, because they didn't have a Fiat in the rental shop.

" Auto Europe has been my main source of securing hire cars in different countries over many years and expect this to continue. However, on this occasion Europcar required my UK national insurance number on the premise they needed to check my driving licence status. This was not marked on the list of things to take with me to the car hire depot. Fortunately I was able to remember the number allowing for a smooth rental. I don't understand why I was charged £149 when the price on the voucher was £144. I decided not to question it at the time as I might need to use the hire car service again. "
" The car has some dents and scratches at various places around the car. there were 2 places that we found were not marked on the sheet. The car would frequently show that the oil needed changing soon and needed a particular button on one of the stalks to delete. However, I did accept on return that the oil change display would appear some time before the actual requirement for change. "

The counter staff did try to push the no excess and puncture add on's even when I explained I had full cover with yourselves.

" AutoEurope will always been my go-to for cheap car rental but I do have an issue with the rental companies when it comes to insurance / waiver / whatever premium I have paid for with AutoEurope does not seem to translate when picking up the rental e.g. I had FULL cover for the rental but I was told at the rental desk that the insurance was for AutoEurope and not Europcar which I thought was odd. That needs looking into as the rental company was quite insistent that I take out their insurance. I did refuse and even pointed out the full insurance with my voucher, others might not be so lucky. "
" I was really happy with the rental process. Unfortunately what let the whole experience down was the rental return out of hours. The weren't any instructions on how to return the rental out of hours. I had to catch an onward train at 0830 on Saturday, I arrived at 0630 so as to avoid any pre-security travel issues, the office premises were closed, the Service Desk number was wholly inadequate as the default message was, "The offices are closed on Saturday" but on the premises window it says "Saturday Opening 0800 - 1600" or thereabouts. I called the main company number, same thing but this time the opening hours on Saturday is 0800 which would have left me 30 minutes to make my onward journey. I did manage to work out where to leave the rental via the note pinned to the premises entrance, locate the multi story car park (after driving around 3 times). Not the best experience especially as the pick-up process was so smooth. A bit more clarity and information on returning rentals out of hours would go a long way. "

I could not do this (telephoned also Europcar direct to ask) Only way was to cancel and make new booking in Bristol. Because of this I had Cancellation charges of £ 35 which I have paid on top of my Rental vharges. Canm you maybe refund me these cost, to rebuild my trust in Europcar and re-use again in the future??

" Well i ended up with a 50% extra charge after a booked a car through AutoEurope so I am not sure whether it was a good experience or not. "
" I specifically booked an Skoda Octavia because it would take our baggage, we ended up with a Skoda Octavia, but we had to pay GBP500 extra or 50% more than the GBP1,000 we had prepaid. The difference - the latter was an estate the former a saloon. In both instances our cases would have fitted either car. Octavia saloons were not available and we were given an alternative which was a small/medium SUV with limited boot space.Even though I have used Eupocar for over 25 years (they acknowledged I was a long term user) they refused to provide me the estate at no extra cost arguing it was a different category. I won't use them again, which is disappointing as they used to be very good. Clearly - like Ryan airlines - they are using techniques to make you pay extra. Shame Europcar used to be great. "

If there was to be a change of vehicle I expected a VW Passat or a Ford Mondeo, a Mokka is nothing like a Skoda Octavia. My family (2adults,2children under 10), had travelled from Australia and were touring Wales, a country of hills and valleys. The performance of the car was terrible and made the experience awful. There was no room for our luggage in the boot. The collection process was terrible. I booked collection for 10am. At 11am I was still queuing to be served. There was one person serving and one person showing people to the cars. Despite booking for 10am, I was served at 1110am and then informed that the car hadn't been returned yet and they were waiting for it!! It was a terrible experience throughout "

" Lady behind the desk was stroppy and unhelpful. I had hired the car on auto Europe website and payed for excess cover but when I enquired if this would be sufficient with the europecar representative, she claimed I had no cover so, I had to buy excess insurance which was 134 pounds. The car hire was 204 pounds so to have to pay another 134 pounds was extremely disappointing. If I'd of been given a satisfactory car perhaps it wouldn't of been so annoying. Apparently I was upgraded to from a fiat 500 to a MG3 which was a gutless uneconomical car that had no power, stank of smoke from previous user and has a tracking problem which kept pulling the front wheels to the left. So overall, staff unhelpful, and car not what I asked for.

" I live in Spain a great deal of the year and regularly use hire cars. Whilst booing the car there were cheaper options but ratings and feedback are more important than just the price. Your company had good feedback so I was happy to pay that little extra. Whilst booking a box appeared referencing excess waiver payment so I chose to pay the extra for piece of mind. Another box then appeared asking if I wanted to upgrade to a larger car for extra payment. Again I chose this option which was a large Skoda as shown or similar. When I arrived at stansted to collect the car I was asked if I wanted extra excess waiver. I told the representative I had already purchased that. On looking at the booking he said I had only paid extra insurance to cover the towing of the vehicle and key loss. I said that was a total waste of money then. He said the excess waiver would be £100. I was only driving a short distance and already annoyed so declined the option. Upon collection I passed a long row of new modern cars. Expecting a Skoda which I couldn't see I pressed the key fob and a Vauxhall opened. It certainly wasn't a new or newish vehicle. I've had a previous bad experience when hiring a car so checked the damage on the car against the car damage paperwork. It was dark but I found numerous scratches and dents on the car not shown on the sheet. One being approximately 30 Cm long. I got a representative to check the car with me and he added the extra damage. Had I trusted the sheet I would have been charged for this damage on return. I set off home and the car had rattled at the rear like a really old and worn car. I couldn't get the windscreen to clear no matter how I adjusted the demister. I just wanted to get home as dark and raining. I used the car very little but I had to get some cleaning equipment to clean the inside of the windscreen as it was dirt and smudges not a demister issue. Before dropping the car off I refilled the car and was surprised it cost just over £20 to fill as I had probably driven less than 100 miles and the car was a diesel. When I dropped the car off the representative was very polite and helpful. I told him the car was a piece of junk and that I had put £20 in to refil it. He was surprised when I told him where I had driven to and from. His computer system was down but he checked the car and said the deposit would be reimbursed. When I got the receipt via email I had only driven 96 miles I believe. I checked the photo of the dash showing fuel gauge on collection and on return and it clearly wasn't full when I collected it so I probably paid another £10 for the previous customers fuel. It was full to full so when I re fuelled I did just that. I will of course be hiring cars again in the future but I will not be using yourselves or the car hire company again. Many people complain about issues with Spanish car rental companies but the service and car I receive in Spain is much better. "

" The booking experience was easy. On the back of that, I made another booking for March in Turin. "
" The office at Newcastle Central Station is located away from the centralised car hire office near the taxi pick up point. Station staff directed me to this office when I asked for directions. Sadly, the Europcar office is in the opposite direction and three times farther to walk. My car was not available at the allocated pick up time of 12:00. I had to wait until 12:50 for a car that was in a different class to the one I booked. It was a large estate car which was tricky to negotiate into the parking space where I was staying. I am in the habit of ordering a vehicle that suits my purpose and I am rarely impressed when offered something different. I understand the meaning of the words "Appointment" and "Reservation". You failed to honour the appointed time and the type of vehicle reserved. I have to say that the desk staff were clearly embarrassed at their predicament and tried very hard to fulfil the reservations for myself and another customer who was kept waiting.

" By mistake I booked two cars within one hour through a 3rd party. They have contacted superior on my behalf for a refund as it was clearly a mistake. They are waiting for you to respond. Therefore if I don't get a refund it would have cost me 150 for a car. Not cheap! "

" It was great to be able to compare different companies and the website filters were easy to use. More info on insurances for the specific companies would be useful. "
" The car itself was fine (except the most uncomfortable car seat I've ever driven in and the seat didn't go back far enough for comfort so my legs ached after a few hours of driving, however not the rental company's fault))and the drop off was fabulous. The drop off guy even suggested I go out and fill up as I'd forgotten. He saved me money with his suggestion and directed me to the nearest fuel station. The pick up was frustrating as they tried to give me a standard car when I'd paid for an SUV. I had to be quite firm to get the SUV. I then paid almost as much in insurance as I had in rental or I would face a £1400 excess EVEN if I was not at fault in an accident. These insurance issues need to be made much clearer when booking online as I might have gone with a different Rental company. Company. "

" Can't say. Didn't get to experience their service! "
" A big hiccup with my booking! No car!! Somehow my reservation had been cancelled hours after I had made it, so when I landed at the airport there was no car for me. To book one at the Europcar desk was 400% more expensive (from under GBP200 to over GBP1100! Not within my budget!). It is unclear whether it was Europcar or AutoEurope who cancelled my reservation without my knowledge, but after 8w I am finally getting a refund (still awaiting the money to arrive). The inconvenience during my travels was obviously in excess of the refund. There are family members I could not visit with my new daughter, which were the entire the purpose of my trip! Just hope it was a one-off technical glitch that does not happen again. More nervous at using a broker such as AutoEurope to make bookings in future... Adds another opportunity for errors to arise apparently. "

" Auto Europe were reasonably priced, and website easy to use. I wouldn't recommend though, as our experience of picking up a car at Inverness airport from Europcar was awful. "
" On arrival at airport for pick up, very long wait to be processed at Europcar counter - waited 40+ mins before being called forward. The hire car was filthy dirty - to the point where I couldn't see if there was any existing damage, so I was reluctant to accept it. The guy at the car pick up area offered to have it washed - but we had two very small children who were tired and fed up with all the waiting...so I said I'd just accept it as it was, but made sure a note was made on the rental agreement to reflect my concerns. Once we'd loaded the boot with our cases, pushchair, gags etc...and secured the child car seats etc (all this in the pouring rain I might add), I then found that there was a problem with the 'connection' between the key fob and ignition...the car would not start as the car was not receiving any signal!!! You can imagine how frustrated and annoyed I was by now.... I was told I'd have to go back into the terminal and discuss the problems with the counter staff... To be fair - the counter staff were very efficient, and quickly allocated me another car, which was great, but by then we (2 women, a 7yr old and 18 month baby) had spent well over an hour trying to sort all this out. SO......back out in the pouring rain - transfer all the bags and car seats to the replacement car, and we were finally on our way. Autoeurope may be reasonably priced but in future I will be looking to book through another supplier if they continue to use Europcar. "

" The process with Auto Europe was good, the end supplier and on site car hire staff was not. "
" Booked a child's car seat for our 21 month old and was told no Group One seats were available, we had to put her in an unsuitable and too big and therefore dangerous seat, staff offered no help other than take it or leave it. The car was great, very clean but not the car we booked, I know supply changes but with the replacement car there was insufficient boot space for luggage and prams, hence the attraction of a known to be suitable model. We had to place luggage and the parcel shelf in the rear with both children which was not ideal. Drop off was at Exeter Airport, a different airport than pickup. There were no clear signs or indicators as to where to dropoff the car or keys, in the rain, dark, at 6am with two toddlers this was not a great experience. I like Europcar but these experiences were not great, particularly the car seat which was outright dangerous. "

" Courteous and pleasant staff. A little embarrassing when offered additional SatNav (declined) and colleague found that it was already built in to vehicle when ensuring hirer was familiar with vehicle controls. Had I taken the option - I certainly considered it - I would have had to resolve the cost deduction etc which would have made the experience less efficient. Minor point: when hirer queried if the vehicle was 'eco-friendly' the colleague said 'No' because there was no obvious switch. Had I been unfamiliar with 'eco-friendly' ignition then I might have been unsafe at the first couple of engine cut-outs in traffic etc as I wouldn't have known what to do. (Since my own vehicle is 'eco-friendly' this wasn't the case for me). Similarly, if being 'eco-friendly' were a significant factor for me and I received the same response, then I might have chosen NOT to proceed with the vehicle hire. This is an observation and NOT a complaint! "

" When I went to collect the hire car, there was not a car for me to collect. The computers we're also down so he couldn't do any paperwork. I had to walk to Gateshead to collect a car from there. I booked a Vauxhall Insignia or equal but was told I was getting a Scoda Octavia, which is not equal as it was £15 cheaper to book an Octavia. There was only one member of staff at the Newcastle branch so he said he couldn't close the shop to give me a lift, when he phoned Gateshead they said they had no-one to send, hence me walking,but when I got to Gateshead there is 4 staff members milling about so I could of got a lift. Gateshead give me a free update to a M.G. ,worst the pitty as my 88 year old dad had recently had a bad fall and hurt his neck. The M.G.s suspension was none existing so everytime we hit a bump ,it hurt, all 6 hours there then 6 hours back, not happy with upgrade. Newcastle said he would credit me £10 for having to walk to Gateshead and £15 for the downgrade to the Octavia, I have not received anything. "

" They did not have the car type I booked, so I got a much larger car than I wanted. They did not warn me about this at the pick-up desk.

" The day after collection a display notification that service was due in 500 miles appeared. Given that we had paid for a two week hire it was obvious we could well exceed this mileage. Within days, and in a very remote area of Scotland, a spanner and oil can symbols were displayed and then a message on the screen saying oil level low, causing us great anxiety and stress. We checked the oil and it was very low. Eventually a garage was located and oil was purchased and we subsequently topped it up. Several days later the spanner symbol appeared again with warning lights - there was no hand book for us to refer to in order to find out what the warnings meant. The worry of an unreliable car caused a tremendous amount of stress which we should not have not to experience - the car should obviously not have been hired to us in that condition. On returning the car to Inverness we explained the situation to the member of staff checking in the car, gave him the receipt for the oil and said we wanted to make an official complaint. He said he would report it to his manager and we would be contacted. No contact has been made. A road worthy car should have been expected giving a stress free holiday - this was not the case. We cannot stress enough how badly we feel we have been treated. We now await your response. "

" The initial car was unfit for use (Europcar Doncaster confirmed) and should not have been sent out.

" Europcar are excellent but Europcar have let them down. I will use again but avoiding Europcar "
" Having used Europcar on a regular basis for the past 10 years and holding a privilidge card this rental experience was the worst ever. I waited for the car as it hadnt been cleaned. When it was handed to me I was told to clean it thoroughly would mean a further wait. I was visiting for my fathers funeral and wanted to get away. The car stank of air freshener disguising what I would later discover. As the day wore on the smell in the vehicle was making me wretch. I could see spillage over the dash windscreen and radio. I tried to clean but the smell got worse. The next day I rang Europcar to change cars but was told nothing was available. I gave details and they promised to call back. Nothing. I rang three times on day 2 and on day 3 three more calls and was told to take the car to another office which was inconvenient whilst finishing funeral arrangements. By day 3 evening a different member of staff told me I could have a car at 1000 the next day. I returned to be met by Zara, the woman who said nothing could be done and once again she said no car. I told her I had been told to come and suddenly she had a different car for me. The stress and time involved dealing with this was totally unnecessary and very time consuming at the most difficult week of my life. I don't think I should have to pay for the 4 days I was stuck with that stinking car. The smell was totally unbearable, probably sour milk, and I believe Europcar new that when they gave the vehicle to me. The 2nd bad experience in £ weeks after years of never having a problem. "

" Simple booking, good price, unaware that I was paying AutoEurope a fee for the booking, will most probably deal directly with the hire companies in future. "
" After a long day in Cyprus and a long flight, the last thing I needed was the counter staff person trying to get me to pay more for an upgrade / more insurance. So my frustration at this was very evident, which she took exception to. I had booked a car. I had paid for the car. All I expected was to turn up, produce my documents and get the keys - not the case!! 15 minutes to get the keys is not what I expect. A guy arrived after me, dealt with by another staff-member, and was done and gone before I had even been given the paperwork to sign!! The hire document showed that there was damage to the car but I was expected to sign as acceptable - it was dark (9pm), the lighting at the pick-up park was dire. "The staff there will help if you need to check" was all I was offered. When I eventually found the car, the only lighting was yellow car-ark lighting, not suitable for checking for damage. In addition, the car had not been cleaned as there were mud splashes on the wheel-arches and the sides, and the body was not clean. The rear passenger seat was also marked - not noted on the "damages" document. In comparison, on drop-off, the staff member at the car park was very pleasant, did the checks straight away and assured me that there was nothing to stop my deposit being refunded without delay. That man (didn't get his name) needs a recommendation for good customer service, something that the lady on the booking desk would definitely NOT be nominated for. "

" Efficient as always over the years, just unfortunate Europcar Manchester Airport is so poorly managed. I could have booked an off-airport rental such as Green Motion (very happy with on previous rentals) for less but on this occasion we both had large hold baggage with us. "
" I was very surprised at the incredible poor service at this location. I arrived at the Europcar desk in the Car Rental Centre shortly before 5pm on the 21st. Along with half a dozen other unhappy pre-bookers I was informed no mid-size cars were available for at least an hour, no explanation and no manager was on duty, as one of your staff informed us 'managers don't work weekends, just leave us to deal with the mess'. After vehicles were eventually found for customers ahead of us, none of which were the class they had booked and paid for, I accepted a VW Polo as I was told it would be atleast another forty minutes for an Astra class vehicle to be available and I would need to contact you for a refund - hence this e mail. We eventually left the Europcar compound at 5.50pm. The Polo ran well but was cramped as I had ordered a larger vehicle to cater for commitments during the week of rental. Strangely before we left I noted a five door Astra, reg DN17 UVJ in bay C11 which was not offered. I have used Europcar frequently across Europe over more than twenty years and never had a delay longer than 15 - 20 minutes to collect keys and be on my way - nearly one hour is just poor organisation and service. The three staff on duty were the most dispirited and unprofessional I have ever encountered and did nothing to enhance the Europcar brand - one seemed more interested in offering Roses chocolates to colleagues than attending to customers. I am aware that events can conspire to create problems and the lack of Astra size cars an isolated event. However, on returning the vehicle on the morning of the 28th., after the check-in officer inpected and accepted it fuel full and free of any damage, I asked him if the availability problem was fixed and he advised there was a continual problem due to a lack of staff in cleaning section. I would suggest this branch needs an audit to ensure it is staffed properly, with pre-booked vehicles available or complimentary upgrades offered, and the staff trained and supported to promote the excellence of Europcar rather than be so demotivated they publicly criticise their own, non-present, management.

" My partner and I are extremely disappointed and upset by our experience with Europcar in Cardiff. The experience started well, we collected the car as planned on Monday the 2nd of Sept from the Cardiff branch, seemingly without a problem. The drop-off was agreed as 4pm the following Saturday. We queried whether there would be a problem if we were delayed by traffic and were assured by the lady serving us that this would not be a problem as we had paid for the whole day, so could drop off later if we wanted. We assumed this would involve a key drop box of some sort, however upon our slightly delayed return to Cardiff we found the building to be shut, with nobody in sight and no key drop box. We then called the Europcar emergency help line to seek advice and were told by the first person we spoke to that we could simply leave the keys in the glove box and walk away! When I questioned this, he hung up on me. When I called back, a more helpful gentleman suggested we change our drop off location to a branch which was still open. We decided to change the drop-off to Gatwick which resulted in: - Being charged £50 by Europcar for this privilege; - Extra petrol costs; - Wasted bus tickets which we were planning on using to get to Gatwick; - An overall extremely stressful and upsetting experience. Had we not been slightly delayed and turned up at 4pm, as agreed, I have little doubt that the building would have been shut anyway, as I tried calling the branch repeatedly from 3.30pm until 4pm without any response. The branch shuts at 4pm, so I suspect they had left early. How can you return a car at 4pm if the branch is shut at 4pm? The staff at Gatwick were excellent and very helpful and sympathetic, however the Cardiff branch were just a huge disappointment. In light of our disappointing and stressful experience, I respectfully request a full refund on this rental, including the extra £50 we were charged to change the drop-off location. "

" Although I had a lovely car, the checks before releasing the vehicle were below par for a 2wk rental. Tyre pressure had to be adjusted within a week and then the oil change light also came on. Many of the scratches were not listed and I was told to take photos. No email was sent with vehicle condition report but was sent at end of rental. "

" Unfortunately, my overall experience was not positive as I detailed above. "
" Dear Europcar Staff, My experience has been tarred with two very unfortunate incidents: 1. I had to extend my rental 1 week, which caused me to incur exorbitant costs which I felt was unreasonable, since I was taking the car for longer, which normally means less cost x day. 2. I was charged an additional £105 on my credit card 1 month after the successuful return of my rental car with absolutely no explanation. I have investigated with customer services but still have not received any feedback or a reimbursement. Overall, the experience left me with a negative impression of the businss. That said, the counter staff did try their best to help me with the situation when I picked up the car, which was appreciated. I hope you will be able to resolve the outstanding issue of the £105 to my credit card soon. Thank you. Ruby "

" Your website and prices are brilliant. I appreciate all the emails as well "
" Re Staff situation.... there was only 1 guy there. I had to wait 25 minutes when I arrived at my agreed pick up time, as there were 3 people in front of me. That was frustrating as we were eager to get going. He had no time to show you how things on your vehicle worked as he was too rushed off his feet. I was just given the keys and the 1 bit of damage that I was signing for, was pointed out to me. I got in, adjusted seat and mirrors etc and then found it had an automatic hand break which I was not familiar with. There was no book in the car, so I had to go back in and ask him to explain how I actually pulled away, much to the annoyance of the other people who had been waiting after me. Eurocar need more than one member of staff working. A minimum of 2, one to do the paperwork and payments and one to show people around the cars and give some guidance would have been extremely helpful. I am hiring another car through yourselves in 8 days, will be interesting to see if this was a one-off or is the norm? "

" We are disappointed and far from enjoy dealing with any car rental company - whether it's ridiculous long waiting times, companies trying to palm off unfit cars, or aggressive upgrading. After travelling for 12 hours plus, it's the last thing we want to deal with with two small overtired children. "
" We made the mistake of not arriving within an hour of the booking time. I hadn't realised this and my two under 5 children had jet lag. Arrived at rental and told our voucher was cancelled and booked car had been given to someone else. Offered a premium car and had to pay an additional £240, which nearly doubled the rental price. This has been a costly mistake. The silver lining was at least we got a car. Had to call their customer service and they were very helpful and efficient. "

" arrived at the agreed time and check in was fast. Then i was told to wait "a couple of minutes" as the car was getting ready. The person behind the counter then seated me and left for 10-15 minutes. When she came back and I asked she got annoyed and said "I told you it will be a couple of minutes" to witch I replied that it was already a couple of minutes. I ended up waiting 40 minutes. I got a car that had warning lights on. The staff told me that they checked it and don't know how to reset the warning so I should just drive... The car I was given had SIGNIFICANT body damages. Not just small marks, but really big significant body damage. They did not sign that on the contract so I had to go back and forth twice, and wait another 10 minutes outside for staff to enter the damages. This smelled extremely like a scam considering the severity of the damage and the fact that the contract was setup for me to pay for these damages had I not personally taken care of entering them. That exact thing then happened on return. The return was quick but the girl immediately tried to blame me on the damages. I handed the paper over at which point she noted that I had driven 2000 miles (i had driven 280km). Eventually she accepted that this was likely a failure on their side and given that I had already marked the damages she let me go. Quite disappointing in general. "

" I only discovered during a long drive that the airconditioning didn't work that well. The radio kept loosing even national stations. The air conditioning made a noise. I didn't have time to take the car back to a europcar depot to change it. I I feel too that to give a 2 year old car out with 29000 miles on the clock isn't very good, from an international branded company. If I had gone with a local cheaper company then ok.. When I returned the car noone checked it , I asked for a receipt that I had returned it, and there was no damage, I was told one would be sent the next day by email. I'm still waiting. When I returned the car at 830 pm , I said to the guy , that the car was horrible, he said yes he knows. In which case whay have such cars in the fleet. My issue isn't with auroeurope but with Europcar . I feel that If I had booked direct with them I would have got a better car, this was sort of suggested too. "

" It's a real SCAM, the usual small prints, and NO understanding whatsoever of a client genuine problem, Autoeurope ruined our holidays. "
" I showed up at Europcar with my wife and two kids at day and time as agreed and I discover that my wallet was stolen with my driving license in it. Thankfully I had pictures of my driving license in my mobile phone, but the Europcar desk would NOT release the car to me without the original driving license. I asked them to give the car to my wife who carried an original driving license with her but Europcar said that the voucher should have been on her name and not mine. I then called Autoeurope Help Desk asking for a change in name on the booking but they said I needed 48h notice, I explained the situation of my driving license being stolen one hour before but they would not listen. So I LOST the entire amount and I could not get the car for both Autoeurope and Europcar being unwilling to help with a simple change in name. NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!! "

" Disappointed not capable of dealing properly with customer complaints. "
" I was charged 60 pounds for "returning the car late" which is simply not true. I think the charge that has been debited from my account was due to the fact that our plane was slightly late and we were caught in delays getting through passport control. As a result they (Europcar) had to keep open their branch at Leeds Airport until 11.05pm. I have complained about this, but they are unresponsive so far. Only 1 email from them claiming we returned the car late, when we actually returned it early. I doubt very much that I will use Europcar again as they are unwillingly to deal/talk personally about my complaint. When I phoned the week before about my concerns of the arrival time NO mention was made of extra charges should we be delayed. "

" We picked up the car in Edinburgh airport. Very friendly and efficient lady. It took some time to find the right person in the parking lot to fill out tho forms (there was some small damage on the car) but the car was great: a pretty black Fiat 500 with glass roof. Returning the car was fast and efficient and I got hte report in my e-mail immediately. Very good experience. "

" The booking experience was fine, it was what happened after the booking was passed to Europcar that the problems arose!! "
" Booked for me to pick up at 8a.m, I arrived to find the vehicle was not available! Was told it was 15 minutes away as coming from another branch. Had to leave to return to Sittingbourne for an appointment so it was arranged for the car to be delivered to my home by 10.30a.m. When it hadn't arrived by 11.00a.m I tried to contact the branch for an ETA but was unable to get through to them at all, even customer services couldn't get through to them! Finally managed to get through around 1.30p.m when I was advised they were waiting for a driver and as soon as one was available the car would be delivered! The car finally arrived about 3.00p.m!!! It was a good job I had booked the car a day in advance of going away on holiday or we would not have been able to get to our destination on time! We also found that trying to contact the management was very difficult having been promised a call back on a number of occasions which didn't happen! Our son tried on our behalf too but had the same problem. I returned the car on time at 8.00a.m and, following a discussion on the lost time of hire and the customer service, details were taken and I was promised a call back from the area manager or customer services. I am STILL WAITING!! "

" Whilst I have not had any direct verbal interaction with Auto-Europe. The online experience was fairly straight forward. Not as cheap as getting CDW / Excess insurance elsewhere - but still more competitive than going to the car hire company direct. "
" Upon collection of the vehicle there was a 45min. delay. With seven counter positions and only two members of staff working - one on the priority desk. A queuing system not fit for purpose - poor signage and no or little assistance from staff as how to operate the queuing touch screen. Having been told there was no damage on the car, close examination revealled a large scrape along the o/s cil. The return of the vehicle was quick, straight forward and efficient. "

" The car tyre was ripped on pick up. I took photos of the entire car as there were several scratches that weren't noted on the paperwork but did not notice the tear. I contacted the staff about the extra scratches and was told no need to come back in to us to adjust the paperwork as long as you take photos of the damaged areas. On drop off I was informed of an extra payment due to the damaged tyre. On checking my photos I found it was pre existing and therefore had been extremely dangerous to drive! I am still waiting to hear back from Europcar about my complaint. I will not choose this company again. "

" I was supposed to send the car by 9pm but got caught by road closures returning to Norwich from Liverpool. Long Before 9pm when I expected to be late I started to try contacting them up until after 9pm but the auto reply just said the office is only open from 8 to 5 or something. They did not contact me until around 7am the next morning. I had to miss my early morning bus to the airport because I could not arrange to send in the car after I missed the time due to the road closures. "
" It was not possible to contact them out of hours when I could not drop off the car on time. On the website they say open until 7pm but on the phone it is only until 5. Called at 6pm could not get through. Called at arranged drop off time at 9pm, also could not get through. In the end had to keep the car until the next day and until they called me the next day because I had no way of contacting them earlier. Missed my bus to London airport and had to spend 225 pound on taxi. Would have been better if I could just pay extra hours to send the car a few hours later. But could not contact them. Everything else before that was ok. "

" Happy with the Auto Europe Service "
" Had a very bad experience returning the car. The agent found a very small scratch on the underside of the rear bumper and made me responsible. It may or may not have been there when I picked the car up, but it was so small and difficult to spot that most people would not have spotted it. My experience of other rental companies is that they would not make the customer responsible for a scratch like this. The agent, who was foreign, aggressively forced me to digitally sign a statement that I was responsible for the scratch. I don't know what would have happened if I had refused to sign. Anyway, a bit overcome by the unexpected experience, I just signed it. I then spoke to the Europcar desk in the terminal to ask what would happen - the agent there said I would NOT just be invoiced with a repair bill - he said that I would have a chance to challenge and dispute - in the event this advice was totally wrong, as my credit card was debited with £278 within 8 hours of returning the car, before any further discussion. Fortunately I have an Auto Europe Excess guarantee policy so I hopefully should be able to get the money back. So, given that this was my first experience with Europcar, I will not be using them again, even if they are the cheapest. "

I will never use Auto Europe and I am making sure everyone I know learns of my experience, via word of mouth and social media. "

" After a 14 hour flight followed by an hour of waiting for our luggage to follow we then had to stand around in a disgusting smoking area with our 3 children whilst waiting for a EUROPCAR bus to collect us and take us to a deignated europcar collection point. After 3 buses we could finally get all 5 of us and our luggage on board. To then be put in another que to collect our preordered and paid for MANUAL car...oh shock to our disappointment EUROPCAR could not provide the ordered car and generously offered us an automatic without clearly stating any other additional charges only what we had already paid up until of course they took actual payment which we believed would only be an additional £80. We feel europcar prayed on us to get more money, you couldn't provide a service which had already been ordered and rather then offering a car in a similar spectrum and price range the salesmen used this as an opportunity to get more money. Yes we signed paperwork but unwillingly knew the extra charge wasn't just a £80 it was an extra £452 on top of £380. It is safe to say you will never get our service again nor will we recommend you. We are a military family we received no discount, no customer service and feel completely out of pocket. You caused anger and stress on top of what was already a stressful journey. "

" The counter staff was quite rude and not helpful when I quoted that I had excess guarantee with auto Europe but he insisted he knew nothing about it and that these agreements don't exist between auto Europe and Europcar and basically said do you want extra insurance or not for extra £105 for the 4 day rental. I didn't take it but it wasn't clear at all whether I had excess recovery if I was involved in an accident, it confirmed this on the pdf from the auto europe booking though. The counter staff also was very abrupt in telling me to provide dvla clearance etc. and insisted there was a checklist to complete before picking the car up on the voucher. I proved him wrong that there were no instructions on the voucher from auto europe at all. There seems to be huge miscommunication between the 2 companies. And the final thing was there were scratches on the car that weren't recorded so had to tell the staff there. And the car was quite dirty on the outside so I couldn't make out bird poo from scratches! "

" I have recently acquired a Cypriot licence and because the date was less than one year, the person who I dealt with said that I may not be able to hire a car in the UK. He did suggest that I should get my UK driving licence back to prove that I had held a licence for over one year. This was not possible. I did ring Europcar and they said it would not be problem as I had used them before and I still had the paper part of my UK driving licence. I was also told by Auto Europe that I would not be able to pick up the hire car before six AM - I landed at one AM and he suggested that I could wait until sixAM and then collect the hire car. Being a person in my seventies, and I did say this, I would not have just passed my driving test over seventy year old or was able, due to age, be able to stay in the airport for five hours. I live in Cyprus and have done for ten years. I feel either that the person did not comprehend what I was saying or realise that age was a factor as to waiting in an airport for five hours. Also some car hire companies are open until 2am and as I stated the time of the flight landing when hiring a car, surely, the person would have ensured that the company was open so the 'wait' would have been unnecessary following landing at the airport.

" Didn't get confirmation of email booking. Will be booking directly in future. My wife claims the insurance she booked me was not the one I got too. "
" Turned up 45mins early. Couldn't collect car as "not ready" but I could have it however I "would have to pay for the 45 mins". No problem with that although it was odd it wasn't ready but I could pay and it would be ready??? Perhaps it was nearly ready - who knows. Anyway, turned up at booking time and 6 people in front. 4 had not pre-booked. Collected car 45mins late (strangely enough I didn't get a discount for that period which seems at odds with the companies apparent rigorous timing policy). Picked up 7 additional scratches and faults not already on the sheet (which only had some 4 issues). Added them to the paperwork and went back to the office. Chap signed it off no problem. Thing is, he signed my copy and I just walked out. I could have dented the car, added it and had been able to provide (fraudulent) evidence it was done when I accepted the vehicle. No way to run a business that but more importantly is that the amount of damage I found was shocking. I could easily have been billed for that. Also, I brought the car back at 0730hrs and nobody there. I prefer to have confidence the state of the vehicles return will not be challenged. I have not yet been refunded my deposit. I am going back to Newcastle airport next week and will use Hertz. I like their electronic system displaying your name and booking number and pre-booked get priority. I'd rather pay £12 per day more just for ease. Sorry, but really not good enough. "

" The car smelt of diesel fuel when collected. The smell went away so we thought it had just been over fuelled. However after a few days the smell returned stronger than ever and it was leaking fuel on the road. It turns out the car had been in the garage for a fuel related repair just before we collected it with 'no fault found'. The car was a few years old with over 40k miles - maybe Europcar should have updated it much sooner. "

The breakdown took place on a cold night the day we arrived in London with my 3 kids for Christmas holiday. Europcar was a total failure. Trying to contact them and your company for assistance has been a total failure and waste of time. "

The car was finally collected by RAC platform 5 hours after the initial report. Europcar failed totally to provide a replacement car and for a family of 5 people they have provided a 2 door fiat 500 assuring us that they will delivery a car the following day. They never contacted us so finally I had to return the car back. I expect full refund as I have paid for full insurance including replacement car. The staff at Luton. Europcar station was very rude, full of lies. They gave me a car with 13.200 miles whereas on the contact it was written 6.500. They have charged me for fuel £136 for fuel that I have not used, as they have delivered to me supposingly a car with full in fuel which broke down 20 minutes later and the breakdown was reported to RAC.

" As stated, after 10 years + of using AutoEurope I felt 'out on a limb' when dealing with EuropeCar. I had no access to your helpline. Every time I called I was put on hold and after about 10 mins the line would just go dead. This is unacceptable and I can no longer trust that your insurance cover will protect me. I need a car for two months this coming summer and need to know I have the cover I paid for. "
" I am annoyed with AutoEurope as much as EuropeCar. When picking up the car, EuropeCar insisted I did not have the insurance cover I paid for with AutoEurope. This may have been a new ploy by them to oversell. However, after 3 attempts and 30 mins of trying to call your 'helpline' and being cut off every time, I ended up buying their insurance. I tried many more times that and the next day to contact AutoEurope to confirm my insurance, so i could cancel the EuropeCar payment, and could not get through. This means I cannot trust your coverage from now on. I have used your service for many years. I was appalled by the lack of customer service. I was not surprised by EuropeCar's predatory behavior - but I was surprised to discover that your helpline was no help at all. "

" Car seats were wet as they had just been steam cleaned. As compensation I was asked to return the car with 1/2 tank of petrol only. I was happy with that. However they have invoiced me for filling the car up despite Coventry assuring me I would not be charged. Seems the error is at Stansted. I have contacted them and I'm now waiting for my credit "

" WHERE DO I START. It was after leaving the rental carpark at the Airport that I noticed a sign on the dashboard that indicated a 20psi on the driver's rear tyre. . It seemed OK. This was Saturday pm. On Monday pm someone in the car park of the hotel in Pontprennau pointed to the car and shouted "flat tyre". It did not help that there was no hand book to work out how the jack worked, nor what a spanner sign meant on Tuesday on the way back to the airport. I have not changed a tyre in 50 years!. Fortunately there was a kind soul at the hotel who changed it for me. I gave him £10. It was obviously a slow puncture and the warning sign was not picked up by your rental co. Your staff tried to say it was my fault. To conclude I will avoid Auto Europe in the future. "

Case number 03645855 and Case number: 03659870. I've never received any answer from EUROPCAR. However, the administration fee of 40 pounds is deducted from my account (Charge by EUROPCAR). It's really annoying. Why do I have to pay for other mistake? I understand that sometime people make mistake, but I 've followed their instruction to appeal. What they just need to do is read it. Any assistance to get the refund from EUROPCAR would be appreciated. Thank you "

" The general experience with you staff at outlet was good, they were friendly and engaging. My problem is with your policy which seems to punish the customer for minor issues which could easily be sorted in a better manor. Like with many companies; there seems to be a lack of customer facing operatives how can actually deal with issues at site rather than having faceless people have dominion over you person account and finances. I am extremely wise to this fact and will think twice before considering renting with any association of yours again going forwards "
" I was not given a full tank of full upon collection of vehicle, but then charged the Europcar rate for filling up up the tank (as i was unable to fill the car due to a lack of funds. I don't think this is right as the car was clearly supplied with 7/8 of a tank and returned with apparently 2/8 of a tank. Hmmm, not sure about that. I was extremely compromised by the ridiculous 10 day deposit policy that is part of the agreement as there doesn't appear to be a good enough reason for this to have taken place upon drop off of my rental (which was brought back 5 hours before it was due). A severe ;lack of care with regards to my situation was expressed by the company as they were openly willing to lie about the procedure of who actioned the freeze on the deposit in my account. I am further annoyed that the damage to the vehicle was clearly and honesty stated by myself upon drop off. I would like to conclude by saying that the reduce hours you can contact customer services in the event of a problem is unacceptable in-light of the fact that the other line is open 24/7. Europcar also had the audacity to take the amount owing without out then releasing my funds which has inconvenienced me personally. "

Also I had my daughter as the second driver she is over 25 but they wanted to charge me £35 a day and said she needed to be over 26. Not what it said in the contract. I didn't take the second car because of that. I'n Still waiting for a refund 3 weeks later.. "

" I have used Auto Europe in the past and have been very satisfied with them over the years. "
" Whilst the car and pickup were very good, the follow up service was very poor. I knew when I booked that car that it was closed on Sunday, however it did mention somewhere that it could be left back by arrangement and for a charge. I checked with Auto Europe and Europcar and they both said it was closed on a Sunday, but to check when picking the car up, which is what I did. When picking up the car the clerk did indicate that they were closed on a Sunday, when I inquired further he said if I rang a mobile number he had given me for his 'boss', (who lived close by), he would arrange to meet me to collect it. As it turned out I needed to leave it back on Sunday but was obviously prepared to lose the day's rental and pay any fee the garage was going to charge. However after several phone calls and leaving a couple of messages, they remained unanswered, I also sent a couple of TXT messages and eventually I received a TXT back on Saturday evening at 7.20pm to say that they were closed on Sundays, and I would have to return it on Monday. nothing further! I was very disappointed and to some extent annoyed to say the least. However having said that, when I returned the car the person who accepted it, (whom I assume was the "boss') simply asked was the car ok, I replied it was fine. He didn't even bother to check the car over with me, which concerned me somewhat, so I asked him to check it with me which he did spending literally only seconds to carry it out. Whilst the car itself was very good, clean etc, the 'service' and attitude of the operator was unacceptable and I will not be using them again, I will in future go to a competitor at Cardiff airport or Bridgend and not recommend your Tredegar Branch, which is sad as it is far more convenient for me and I would have used it 3 or 4 times a year. Please note the grading of the efficiency of counter staff refers to collection only! "

" I was not made aware of the out of hours charge, £60, which has been made to my card, at the time of collecting the car, nor was it made very clear, if at all, at the time of booking. I had put that my flight would land at 22:30 and so it would have been good to mention any additional charges at that time. It doesn't make it that cheap when this is added to the hire cost. I arrived a the office at just before midnight, but due to the lack of staff and high volume of customers, was not attended to until 01:00. "

" I realize the poor service we received was from Europcar rather than AutoEurope but I would probably still avoid using AutoEurope in the future based on this experience. "
" We hired a car through AutoEurope for a week, collecting from Heathrow on 10th August. Our flight was delayed from Aberdeen down to London so I tried to contact Europcar and AutoEurope to inform them of this. AutoEurope answered my call and said they would inform Europcar. They then called back to tell me that they could not get hold of anyone at Europcar as it was out of hours (but this lack of response was quite common!) I then tried various Europcar numbers but nobody picked up as it was out with office hours. I eventually got to speak to someone on the reservations number (only number which gets answered 24 hours per day?) and was assured that there would be someone at the desk when we arrived at Heathrow. We arrived at Heathrow after midnight and nobody was at the desk, no courtesy buses outside and nobody answering the help number that we dialed from the Europcar desk. We managed to get a lift most of the way to the Europcar depot and then had to walk the rest of the way with 2 upset children, car seats and many bags. The person at the desk did not seem to care at all about this situation and was more interested in getting home for the night. He informed us that they can not operate the bus to the Europcar depot after midnight (not mentioned anywhere at the desk) and that the number we called from the desk in the terminal is not linked to the Europcar depot. For a globally recognized brand that has customers arriving at airports all over the world, collecting cars at all times of the day and night I would say this is truly shameful service. If the only number that anyone can be reached on out of office hours is the reservation number does that mean Europcar only care about getting the booking and not what happens afterwards? I have since spoken about this to friends and colleagues and they all said roughly the same thing- 'you didn't book with Europcar did you? They're awful!' Needless to say I have told, and will continue to tell anyone I speak to, not to hire a car from Europcar. I never write a complaint about any poor service I've experienced but this really warranted a response. This was an awful experience and I hope never to have to deal with Europcar again. "

I was backing up traffic and could have been in a serious accident. I have filed a claim with Europcar (claim number 03206422) and I'm waiting to hear back from them in this regard. "
