Near new Audi Q2 from Europcar

Unclear charges, extremely poor service, discrimination against Chinese. Called to inquire, but they hung up before I finished speaking. Also, there were unknown charges and an extra day fee deducted. The car model provided was different from the one reserved, and there was no prior notice.

When picking up the car, no staff confirmed the car's condition before letting customers drive off. Later, they blamed existing scratches on the customers. Customer service response was extremely slow and inefficient; it has been three months and there's still no resolution. If you rent from this company, be very cautious. Make sure to video record the car from all angles before picking it up to protect yourself.

Returning the car was very convenient.

Because we were a group of five, considering the number of people and luggage, we rented a Toyota Kluger. The seats were spacious, and the trunk was large. When we arrived at the EUROPCAR near Melbourne airport, the staff told us that the previous renter had not returned the car yet and suggested we rent from Budget, claiming it would be $100 AUD cheaper. When we arrived at Budget, it was indeed $100 AUD cheaper in rental fee, but EUROPCAR included comprehensive insurance. Adding the same insurance coverage at Budget cost an additional $49 AUD per day, making the insurance from our previous contract not applicable there. After more than an hour of communication, we returned to EUROPCAR and explained the situation to the staff. The staff then communicated with Budget again and offered us an upgrade to full insurance for an additional $40 AUD, to which we agreed. However, when we finally picked up the vehicle, it was a Jeep, which was very narrow. Three women in the back seat felt cramped, and the trunk was small. With three 20-inch suitcases and two 24-inch suitcases, it was completely full. Backpacks and other items had to be placed under the seats, making the already cramped space even more crowded...

Excellent. Counter staff for my pickup was helpful and easy to work with, no upsell of insurance.
