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

Car condition was fine as an international standard service My main complaint is about the guaranteed money deposit
I rent a car for 71 Euro ( 1 day) and they charged deposit 290 Euro. I accepted this because in a week can return this deposit money. I called Europe car office in Athens about the date of the return deposit.
The telephone operator " Sofia" ( because she doesn't want to say her full name) was telling me " after 21 days return, but you should call the credit card company about details. We have no responsibility about return money" I was surprised by this attitude and nobody explained that much takes time to return the money when I rent a car. Also, nothing was written about the depositing money condition in the contract. Could you find out how many days need to return the money to my credit card? ( I have no idea about " Their card company " ViVa wallet", she doesn't even inform card company information.

Dear Ηiroko,
Thank you for sharing your experience with Europcar Greece. Whenever our clients use our services, we strive to provide them with exceptional travel experiences.
As a company, we block a security deposit on the credit card at pickup, as well as the estimated cost of the rental. After the vehicle has been returned, the bank will release the deposit on the cardholder's credit card. Depending on the bank the customer uses, the estimated time of release varies.

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

Car was perfect. Staff was friendly. When queuing for pick-up, however, we would have appreciated if those clients queuing who already have a reservation would be treated with priority to avoid waiting time.

Reason I chose this business:

The reviews suggested that among all car rental companies in Preveza, Europcar was the most trustworthy.

I was welcomed friendly and quickly got the car but it is very small, no even close to what I expect as a SUV category vehicle. We are a family of four and were barely able to stow our luggage in the trunk.

Everything okay so far. The car's trunk was described as "4 suitcases". We booked for 5 persons and wanted to travel with 4 cabin size pieces (55x40x23) plus one large suitcase. Our own car (also compact) could easily take this. But this car could take not more than the 4 small pieces. It was just coincidence, that my wife got sick and the large suitcase was not with us. Otherwise this had been a huge issue.

Initially the rental was made through Booking.com on my husband name but my husband forgot his original driving license. Europcar did not accept the scanned version of his license and for this reason we had to change the person of driver to me. Unfortunately we had a big delay and they charged my wife for the car even though we had prepaid in Booking.com for the same car. Also we had been waiting in the office of Europcar for ever 3 hours with our children. It was a very unpleasant experience.

Location: ATHC07

Reason I chose this business:

I thought it would be a good experience because of the big name of Europcar but in the end I did not like the overall treatment and I would not hire car from again.

Dear Savva

Thank you for your feedback. As we have investigated your case we can ensure you that all procedures were followed with consistency and responsibility towards you. The policy of International Europcar is very clear: "upon pick up you must indicate your driver's license, ID and credit card in the name of the main driver who made the reservation". The delay you are describe above wasn't from the side of our colleagues as you remember, but from the side of your booking agency.

We look forward to serving you again soon.

I had an extra payment for early return (06:00 Monday 23/05 morning) the car. Double of the regular cost. I consider it an unacceptable hidden charge that does injustice to the good reputation of your company

The car was fine, no problem.
BUT: the drop-off rate was outrageous, horrible, way too expensive. It's a steal!
37,50€ each way for a rent of 472 €, il's unbileavable!
I will NEVER rent with EuropCar when this policy is used.
On top of that, it was NOT mentioned when I made the reservation.
Triple "0" for Your company. You reap your customers, you want too much money.

Reason I chose this business:

Because EuropCar has a goo reputation.

Dear Tourneur,

Thank you for your feedback. We need to follow the commercial pricing policy of Europcar International since your booking request is for a drop-off outside of the branch hours. The cost of Out of Hours was mentioned in the Rental Terms and Conditions you received during your booking

At Europcar Greece, our goal is to provide the highest quality products and services to our valued customers.

Remain at your disposal.

The agent at pick-up charged me for insurance that I didn't want or ask for, even after I told her I didn't need insurance. I asked what the price of the rental was higher than what expedia quote me and she said because I picked up the car an hour early and was being charged an extra day. I reluctantly paid. I looked at the rental agreement online (they provided no paper copies) and realized they did not charge for an extra day but added 30 Euros for insurance. I called and asked them to credit my credit card for the amount and they blamed Expedia. I explained that they charged me 30 Euros more than what expedia quoted and that there was a 30 euro charge on the bill for insurance I didn't want, need, or ask for. They told me to email them. I've not heard back from them.

Despite the fact that all instructions will be in the voucher that will be sent to you, all instructions will be in the voucher you will receive. Our customer service department strives for excellence, but it is clear that we have failed in your case. We apologize for the inconvenience; some adjustment time.

Arrived just before closing! Car was waiting in front of office. Staff was very polite and helpful. They gave proper information about the terms and conditions and did not "push" for any additional insurance. Good inspection (though already dark, but with a flashlight!). Very good COVID-protection protocol inside the car! All in all a very nice, clean and rather new car, rented out by a professional team!

The Europcar office is far from the airport. And we didn't know that a transfer would be waiting for us outside the terminal, so we started walking to see if we could see the office. Since we didn't see it, we called the contract phone number provided by booking and the company that answered was Volta, surrealist. In the end, we saw a europcar van pass by, we stopped it, and it took us to the office. We would have appreciated an email with this important information. Everything else correct.

Dear Vicente

We apologize for any inconvenience caused and would like to thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with feedback, as without customers feedback we are unable to make improvements on the services we provide.

It is true that since we took over the Europcar operation in Greece (01/10/2022), we have done our best to provide our clients with exceptional travel experiences every time they use our service, but unfortunately, the airport regulations prohibit us from displaying any signage in the airport or arrival hall. Despite the fact that all instructions were included in the voucher you received. Despite following Europcar International's policy, we understand your concern about the shuttle bus.

We have shared your comments with Europcar International's, is it possible to provide us a copy the booking voucher to recheck the tel. Number with the agency you had booked.

We will be happy to serve you on one of your next trips and hope we have the chance to win your trust again

At pickup in Chania airport, very friendly and helpful staff to go through documentation needed and car conditions. The only remarks I would make are that the company could have sent me an email warning that a) the prepaid debit card used to book the car would not be accepted for the deposit, and b) we would have been picked up by your shuttle at the airport arrivals. We arrived early and decided to walk to the location, so it was good it was correctly pinned on Google Maps despite being in the process of relocating to a permanent building. At drop-off in Heraklion airport, very smooth procedure to return the car and shuttle ride to departures.

Location: CHQT02

Reason I chose this business:

Because I've been a Europcar customer since I used to live in Switzerland and the insurance conditions included for this contract seemed good.

I called the agency a lot at the airport. After asking, I saw that a company representative was waiting outside the plane with a board on which our names were written. They took us to the agency with a vehicle. This was negative for me. No problem with employees! Everyone there was very friendly and helpful. I just wanted to leave the car in the city center instead of the airport at the turnoff, they said it would not be possible! I will return by ferry, now I have to return to the port from the airport by my own means after they leave the car to the agency and then take me to the airport! So I won't rent a car in these conditions again!

The people were great! All of them were friendly and helpful. However, it was tough to find Europcar at the airport because it is just a van in one of the car parks, the one without signs, and no counter along with the other car rental companies. Then, we were taken to another park outside the airport area to take pick up the car.
