At the desk in Beaune to pick up the car the agent asked about insurance and I declined. He worked up the cost with the insurance anyway. I caught it and asked him to remove it. Then the price he quoted was $1,900. KAYAK said it would be $460. I told him no way, he messed around with the computer and got it down to $540 - $80 more than KAYAK confirmed to me. That's a bad experience for both Europcar and KAYAK. The car was very dirty inside and outside. The windshield was covered in bugs, and that actually made it hard to drive into the setting sun. The automatic tail gate opener didn't work.Reviewed Jul 7 2025

Terrible!!! They did not have a car in the same class as the one I booked. I was not offered any solution. Then the car they did give me had a flat tire. I had to visit the office three times to get it sorted (impacting my trip). Also, their insurance scam is terrible. I bought premium insurance and I had a letter of coverage but they still forced me to buy expensive insureancs that more than doubled the cost of my rental. They did not offer any solution. I agreed to a $30,000 hold on my card which I had credit for but they could not process it.Reviewed Jul 1 2025

They pulled some tricks that I don’t appreciate. First, they didn’t have the car category I booked. Unprofessional, but turned out to be not a big deal. Then, they didn’t accept the third party Kayak RentalCover coverage, so I had to pay twice as much to get their coverage. Last, they made me place a credit card hold of over $1000. This is unheard of. If I didn’t buy their insurance and stuck with my third party, it would have been an hold of *over $10,000.* Yes, seriously. The car ran well, was clean, and otherwise check-in and check out was fine. I will not be using Europcar again.Reviewed Jun 30 2025

The problem is that Europcar has no counter in PHX airport and I had to go through FOX, it was a nightmare until I realize it was through them , after that , very good experience , it needs to be very clear when situations like this happen , specially since they do not have presence at the airportReviewed Jun 14 2025

The car has problems with the gear box. Second gear sometimes jumps off when charging from first. In the middle of the trip the entire pannel of the car turned off for about 1 minute.Reviewed Jun 12 2025
