Europcar Recensioni 

I got there and got the hard sale about insurance, I decided to take it out, 800 Euros !! when I returned the guy started his inspection, MY GOD I said we have full insurance !! he said I will still check, then BANG he said found a scratch on the bumper, really, told me I will be charged even though I had the full insurance, and refused to give me back the 100 Euro Fuel deposit, I go to Innsbruck 4 times a year, you lost my business complete shower of Idiots

We had pre-booked and paid for a car, but when we arrived, they had no cars left.

Now we’ve spent money getting there and wasted time during our vacation—all so we now don't have the car we had planned and paid for

WARNING: SCAM AND HIDDEN FEES! DO NOT RENT HERE!
​Our group rented a total of three vehicles from Europcar for our vacation. To ensure absolute peace of mind, I specifically purchased their most expensive, fully comprehensive premium protection package with zero deductible.
​After about a week of rental, I returned my VW Tayron in absolutely perfect condition. There was not a single scratch on it, the gas tank was completely full, and I had driven very few kilometers during the trip.
​Despite all this, and despite paying for full coverage, they charged my credit card an additional 60.60 EUR for a fabricated Special Cleaning fee. The alleged damage? A few dry breadcrumbs left on the back seat by my kids.
​There were absolutely no stains, no liquid spills, and zero actual damage to the interior. It was nothing more than standard wear and tear that takes exactly two minutes to vacuum. When I disputed this ridiculous charge, their customer service completely ignored common sense, hiding behind automated copy-paste replies. They even attached their own photos that clearly showed nothing but dry crumbs!
​This is a disgraceful tourist trap. They use these fake cleaning penalties to squeeze extra money out of honest customers, hoping you will just pay and give up. A supposedly reputable global brand should not resort to such cheap extortion tactics.
​Do yourself a favor and rent from a trustworthy company that doesn't penalize you for normal usage. I will never use Europcar again, and they have permanently lost our group as returning customers.

Headline: Beware of unjustified €60 "special cleaning" fees!
​Review:
We rented a VW Passat Station Wagon from Europcar Austria. We were a group of four seniors who kept the car meticulously clean throughout our trip. To our shock, we were hit with a €60 "special cleaning fee" upon return. The car was spotless, and this charge is a complete scam. We strongly suspect we were targeted unfairly by the local staff. When we asked for proof, none was provided. Terrible customer service and dishonest business practices. Think twice before renting from Europcar Austria!

לא להתקרב לחברת ההשכרה Europcar בוינה !!!

Vehicle was new and clean. Pickup and return was easy and smooth. HOWEVER customer service when we experienced a problem was appalling. Every number used ended up at the dame call centre who was unable to do anything other than provide an email. Our car was out of action for over 2 days while we attempted to get hold of anyone to assist. Eventually managed to get someone at the pick-up place who then did help. They were very good. What is the point of providing emergency contact numbers that go to a call centre with people NOT empowered to provide any service

Abzocke ,unseriös!!!!Wir hatten bei Booking.com einen Mietwagen mit Vollkaskoversicherung für 5 Tage im Wert von Euro 205,90 gebucht.Alles natürlich schon im Voraus bezahlt.Europcar verweigerte die Herausgabe des Mietwagens wenn wir nicht mindestens 2 Kreditkarten des Hauptmieters vorlegen oder eine zusätzliche Versicherung im Wert von Euro 300,- abschließen.Wir machten das natürlich nicht und hatten auch nicht 2 Kreditkarten (wer hat schon 2 Kreditkarten))so bekamen wir auch kein Auto.Wir sind zum nächsten Anbieter Centauro,da bekamen wir innerhalb von 5 Minuten einen Wagen um das gleiche Geld wie bei Booking.com. OHNE 2 KREDITKARTEN UND DOPPELVERSICHERUNG!! Fazit ist:Das war im Endeffekt günstiger als wenn wir die zusätzliche Versicherung bezahlt hätten.Weder Booking.com noch Europcar sind hier seriös.Also NIEMALS einen Wagen über Booking.com mieten!!!!Auch Booking.com verweigerte die Rückzahlung des nicht verwendeten Autos.Ausserdem schwer zu erreichen.

I provided Europcar with flight number and also phoned them from plane to advise that I will be delayed and that they should wait for me but despite me informing and discussing this with them they decided to close to rental car desk at 23:30 and when I got there at 23:50 the shutters were already down and nobody was there. Some other rental car companies were still open and operating as normal. I had to pay €220 for one night hotel stay to pick up the rental car the next morning.

If you want a rental car company with excellent customer service, then Europcar is not for you.

I will not be using Europcar at Vienna Airport again.

Refused to provide the car that was already paid for. This was without any kind of refund. The reason given was that it was due to a small difference between names noted in passport and debit card.
The megadrive / buchbinder office next door had no issue with renting me a car. So clearly it was not a legal thing.
Save yourselves the trouble and go elsewhere.

They refused to hand over the already paid car once I arrived to the Vienna airport. They almost ruined my business trip. Luckily Sixt across the hall rented me car with no issues.

wir haben einen skoda kamiq oder ähnlich bestellt. obwohl in der garage unzählige fahrzeuge des konzerns gestanden sind hat man uns einen renault!!! gegeben! ich glaub es hakt! wenn ich schon bei europcar - einem unternehmen des vw konzerns ein auto miete, dann möchte ich auch ein auto des konzerns fahren können.

I had a deeply frustrating experience with Europcar recently. I received an email stating that there was a traffic violation and that I was being charged an administrative fee of 40 euros. The document they sent was entirely in German, which I do not speak. I requested the information in English, but there was a significant delay in receiving any response.

Eventually, I was informed that there was no confirmed fine and that the government would decide if a traffic violation occurred. I was confused as to why I was being charged a 40-euro administrative fee if the violation had not been decided yet. I even mentioned that I would be willing to pay the fee if I had a clear understanding of what I was being charged for. However, there was no response for weeks.

Then, unexpectedly, Europcar charged me approximately 200 euros (depending on the exchange rate) without any prior clarification. I immediately emailed asking for further details and was informed that my case would be referred to their customer service department. To this day, I have yet to receive any response.

This entire process, has been slow, unclear, and highly unsatisfactory. Europcar’s lack of transparency and delay in addressing the issue has made this an incredibly frustrating experience.

This is less of the car reservation itself, which went as planned, and more of a situation that was handled superbly by a member of your team.

When I was waiting outside the Europcar booth, an older couple were speaking to the woman who was working at Europcar Salzburg Airport.

The woman, Oezge (I did not ask for her surname), was calmly handling the situation, despite the couple raising their voice and becoming vocal in their complaint at not having the entire reservation detail to show her.
She kept her patience and professionalism and worked through the system to help them in the best way possible, helping through until the end when they left satisfied.

When it came to me, she gave us the keys and we went ahead as planned. Unfortunately, at the bend when you leave the airport, the tire hit the kerb and blew out, causing us to roll around back to the airport and into Mercedes-Benz services, (nearby).

I decided to ring help for Europcar when I was stuck between multiple phone calls of various members of staff, which had resolved to not helping in the end and I nearly had to be charged extra money for replacement when I was covered. Unfortunately without specific numbers in the vehicle, they were unable to help further, nor did they want to work around that to help us. So I walked back to Europcar myself.

When I walked back to Europcar (it was a walkable distance), she was on a short break outside when she asked me if I was alright. When I explained what had happened she immediately finished her break (despite me asking she did not have to) and returned back to the Europcar booth to open up and help with the situation.

She provided a new car, explained fully beforehand that the new car did not have SatNav or Radio, but I accepted this and signed the new car.
She offered to give me the key or drive me back to the Mercedes, which I accepted the latter. Oezge calmly drove back and reassured my wife and I that it was no problem and sometimes these things occur, and that after she took pictures of the damaged wheel, we should continue on with the new car.

Upon return, she asked how was our trip and was very patient and polite in signing off the car.

All in all, although the services and repair team on Europcar were not very helpful despite their efforts, I find Oezge's efforts to be beyond helpful and went out of her way to ensure things went as smoothly. I recommend that Oezge be given some great renumeration on her handling of the situation, and also the patient handling of the loud customers before us as well.

(She has mentioned that she wants to go to study either medicine or international business management, and I think from her handling of the situation she would be great in either of these fields, so please make sure you at Europcar ensure she, and your whole team, is well renumerated and awarded for their hard work and efforts).
