Around Seattle

The front desk staff were discriminatory towards Chinese people. They gave me a hard time when I went to rent a car and overcharged me.

This was the worst rental experience I've had abroad. When I arrived, they told me my reserved car was not available and I had to upgrade to a Camry for an extra $20 per day. After negotiating for over ten minutes, I had no choice but to accept. The ordeal didn't stop there; they forced me to buy various insurances and wouldn't give me the car unless I did. I ended up paying $323.5 in total just to get the car.

There was only one person serving, and the counter was shared between two companies. The staff spoke heavily accented English, which was really hard to understand. They tried to add several extra charges, and when I was considering whether to take them or not, the staff became impatient and urged me to decide. This severely affected my first-time rental experience. Comparing this with the companies I chose later, E-Z definitely gets a bad review!

There was no queue, the process was quick, and the staff was very friendly.

I reserved this car months in advance. When I picked it up the car was not available. I had a family of 6 with luggage and all that was available was a 5 passenger car. I will not use Europcar again. I need to depend on the reservation that is made. You could have notified me ahead of time as well.
