“Excellent Service”

Aimilianna P.
2/9/24

Helpful staff, clean car and offices. I used them the past couple of months 3 times in Athens airport, 2 in Chania for daily business trips. Strongly recommended, thanks

“Horrific policy”

Amy, J.
9/21/22

Horrific policy. My license from Canada updates every 5 yrs as do most across the globe. This is so for update of address and photo. According to Europcar policy if your license has a issue date of less than 1 year you can't rent a car. In my case, mine had renewed in Jan so although I have been driving for 40 years, I was given a hard time, an unbending front desk person and a delay in starting my holiday. Terrible policy. I will not rent from there again

I booked the rental car through an intermediary website (www.bsp-auto.com) which appeared to me while searching for an offer on the internet. However, there were some differences between what was declared on the contract and what was later found:
1) The contract provided for the collection of the car and its return to take place at the Athens airport. In reality there was no office inside the airport and only after asking for information did I discover that I had to look for a van that would take me for free to the Europcar depot located a few kilometers away.
2) Already at the time of booking on the internet the rental price has doubled, compared to the first offer, due to the return of the car at 06.00. Despite this at the Europcar office I had to pay an additional € 37.20 due to out of hours delivery. Despite my grievances, I was forced to pay this additional amount for the car.

Location: ATHT02

Reason I chose this business:

I looked for the best deal

The attention was good by the office staff. But I had paid for a Renault Clio and gave me Nissan Micra. I didn't like having to pay a €290 deposit and having to wait 15-20 days for it to be returned to me. I did not know and the rent was very expensive

Location: ATHC07

Reason I chose this business:

Because I think it is a serious company and they will return the deposit

Dear Hurtado,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Europcar Greece. As a company, we are dedicated to providing our clients with exceptional travel experiences every time they use our services.
Consider your comments we would line to be very clear in our answers. 1. Every booking is made in a category of cars and not in a specific brand of cars, that's why we are writing on Renault Clio or a similar car in the category, and is always depending of the booking reservation we have during the days you have booked and of the location of the customer choice. 2. About the security deposit, the request for release of the guarantee is made upon the return of the car. As a company in all our rentals a security deposit will be blocked on the credit card plus the estimated cost of the rental will be charged at the time of pickup. The deposit that will be blocked on the credit card will be released by the cardholder's bank, upon notification after the vehicle returns. The estimated time of released is always depends of bank the customer use.

It will be a pleasure to hear about your travel experiences in Greece

The guys at the rental station were very helpful and quick, gave us all the information we needed, the car was in great condition and clean, return was quick and easy. Returning a car half full was a challenge, but it made sense under the local conditions.

Reason I chose this business:

We wanted a car the same day, Europcar had one while many others did not.

There was a gap between the staff who were really nice and the facts: I paid for Citroen C-5. They didn't have this car. It took a long time to find a car that I agreed to - it wasn't the right/similar car. The price of the additional insurance (with 0 participation) was 3 times more expensive then it was on the agent site

Location: ATHT02

Reason I chose this business:

According to their agent (CarFlexi), they had the car I wanted + they had a score of 10/10 + I knew that they are considered to be a great company

Dear Yaniv,

Thank you so much for your effort. Europcar Greece values your opinion. We strive for excellence in customer service, but it’s clear we missed the mark in your case.
Your case was thoroughly investigated in order to ensure that all procedures were followed consistently and responsibly towards our client. You do have right you have booked fro the category of Citroen C-5 or a similar and unfortunately that day we didn't had the model of Citroen C-5. Although we had others model of that category.
We assure you that our branch followed all the procedures. During our explanation of the rental terms we required to explain as well the insurance packages are optional.
In closing, Europcar offers high-quality services with consistency and efficiency to its customers in order to provide them with the best possible travel experience. Our company philosophy is based on the values of transparency and responsibility and are the main pillars of our customer service.

We hope you will give us the chance to win your trust again

First car was not worth the money. Really bad Nissan Micra. There was an option in the website with Nissan Micra or similar for around 300 euros (7days). I chose a more expensive Renault Clio for around 350. I Still got the $#*!ty Micra. NOT OK. Changed to a hybrid Corolla automatic. And payed an additional 150 euros because i was Tired of talking about solutions. Otherwise Good, nice personel. Somewhat helpful.

We were under the impression the rental agency was at the airport. It was not. We were uncertain where to pick up the shuttle, and waited a long time for the shuttle. This process should be made clearer. Once we caught the shuttle, everything else went smoothly. The woman who help us get our car was great.

There was no one at the airport although it said "shuttle service" on our booking confirmation. There wasn't even a sign or any kind of information where to find Europcar. Whilst other car rental companies had offices and representatives right there when people arrived. There was no car in the category we had booked available. Another car was offered but only had a 3/8 full tank. It took us more than an hour to get the car as it had to be refueled. The lady who took the car back was rather unfriendly and checked the car as if we had done anything bad to it. Not a great experience at all and we would neither book again with or recommend Europcar.

We thought it is a reliable well known brand and stands for quality and service. Not the case this time.

The staff were really friendly, the guy who took me from the airport to the rental site spoke excellent English and was very helpful. There aren't any signs to direct you at the airport but you go to Parking Area 5 to get the free shuttle. No problems signing the paperwork and checking the car over, a very smooth process

The service I received was not good.
The atmosphere at the time of receiving the vehicle was very harsh and unserviceable and unpleasant.
The receptionist was not professional enough, and we were delayed a lot when receiving the car.
There is no good relationship between the company in Israel and the company in Crete, so we were unable to get an answer as to whether we have full insurance or only basic insurance.
During the use of the vehicle, I reported a small squeak from the direction of the vehicle's wheels, and I did so only out of responsibility towards the rental company. In response to this, the company representative arrived with a replacement vehicle and said that because of the vehicle replacement, they would charge me 900 euros until they check the problem with the vehicle. Of course I refused and an unpleasant and unnecessary argument developed between us.

Good experience for the car. We did well to choose a small model for the narrow streets of Mykonos and parking! The price of the rent was very correct.
On the other hand, we had a lot of trouble finding the agency that is not represented at the airport (this fact is not reported on the internet), nothing indicates where it is (no one seems to know) and does not appear on the GPS coordinates (difficulties in returning the car). Fortunately, the charming and dedicated staff helped us, picking us up at the airport and allowing us to return the vehicle to the airport.

We wanted a Jeep Renegade and got extra insurance from booking.com. When we got there, they didn't have the Renegade anymore, instead we got a Kia. To get the insurance coverage that we wanted and had already paid for on booking.com, we had to pay another €100. We'll never rent here again

Honestly not at all a nice experience. I did a reservation under my name but I don't drive e put my husband as driver; they then told me I had to pay for an extra driver. The guy I was talking to didn't even look me in the eyes when we were talking so I couldn't understand whether he was talking to me or to the earphones. It was very unpleasant.
The car remote control didn't work and they didn't tell me.

Everything was ok with the online reservation process, the car and the staff.
The Europcar office in Thessaloniki Airport is not inside the airport, and the indications to get to the connection bus from the airport to the office were not clear enough. No information was provided at the end of the online reservation process, however information is available by searching "Europcar Thessaloniki airport" in Google.
