I chose the most expensive package, but when picking up the car, they forced me to pay an additional $44. Otherwise, I couldn't get the car. The experience was very poor.
Escroquerie au moment de prendre le véhicule: Obligation d'accepter une assurance supplémentaire + autres tentatives d'extorsion (taxe journalière pour la gratuité des péages hors de prix)
The car was old if you compare a car rented in USA, it had more than 160,000 kilometers and the general conditions were not good. Tires were old and the engine is forced when you drive thorugh the mountains in Ecuador, I imagine because the age of the cars.
I arranged all the insurance with EasyRent but at the arrival Europcar people forced me to buy the Civil Responsability, and I had to pay 150 USD more than expected.
My general opinion is bad, I have rented with Europcar in other countries with a different experience.
No it didn't exceed my expectations at all . The car is a Spark, the smallest car available, with over 46 thousand kilometers on it, running those roads. I am a car mechanic and I know that the front wheel bearings are completely shot. The travel was very noisy due to the bearings (rolling noises). So was the clutch on it`s limit, connected very late. A car of this size, of very poor quality, as we all now, being used as a rental car in a country with poor roads, aggressive drivers, chaotic traffic conditions, won`t last long. And at 47500 now, it is not getting better…
We prepaid 4653 RMB for the car, but after arriving at the airport, we were downgraded. Later, the battery died, and the car was in poor condition. It was a 1995 car with over 100,000 kilometers. The battery was so old it was deformed. We waited four hours for assistance, only to jump-start the battery. This was misleading and we couldn't continue our week-long trip. Then we were given a small manual car by the repair staff, which was another downgrade. The small car rental was 1189 RMB. The price difference is 3464 RMB. Please refund us. The car rental experience was very poor.
The car had scheduled at 30.000 km maintenance, but when I dropped off the car had almost 31.000 km. Avis was informed that my route was going to be about 2000 km. Because of this lack of maintenance, the brakes were not well adjusted and the car did not have the power to climb, then every climb on the road was done at first speed.
