Europcar - Barcelona Airport T2 Information, Car Rental Instructions & Policies

nice disc man very bad picking car site and personal no one show me about car tools and how to use

Car was in a different terminal than where I landed....Europcar was kind enough to bring it to where I was. Though the car was in a usable but damaged condition at various places. They were kind enough to note the same on the contract but I expected to get a car in good condition.

Nice car. Difficult to find drop location in Barcelona.

A too long of a process to get the car keys. I wish the staff was more informative as far as what is needed if traveling thru different countries, tolls, etc.

The promised car Mercedes MB class was not available and we were offered Audi Q2 at an additional cost. Since, both fall under intermediate category to the best of my understanding, I would like to know the rationale for additional charge. Otherwise the booking and pickup process was fine. The drop-off was smoother as at the time of pickup, the person was not readily available.

We prepaid for the full amount, but due to a flight delay of over two hours, the rental company gave our reserved car to someone else. We had to wait at the airport for more than an hour, and the car they eventually provided was very dirty, with bird droppings on it.

1. Never trust after-hours car return arrangements. Europecar in Barcelona is extremely bad. More than 20 days after returning a car, they charged extra, claiming the air compressor was damaged. This is outrageous! How can internal damage after such a long time be blamed on the previous renter? Another car had scratches when picked up, which I reported and photographed. Still, I was charged for repairs. 2. QEEQ is powerless in disputes. Despite providing photos, evidence, and reasons, there is no result from QEEQ. All I got was to wait patiently. After more than a month, there's no progress. I decided to use insurance for the compensation. 3. Always get full insurance. Without it, European car rental companies will find excuses, and QEEQ is useless. There's no way to recover your losses.

1. Never trust returning a car outside business hours. Europecar in Barcelona is extremely terrible. 20 days after returning a car, I was charged again for a damaged air compressor. How unreasonable! It's unfair to blame the previous renter for internal damages after such a long time. Another car had scratches when picked up; I reported it and took photos as evidence, yet I was charged for repairs. 2. QEEQ is powerless for complaints. I provided photos and evidence to QEEQ but still no result after more than a month, just endless patience waiting. I've given up and turned to insurance claims. 3. Always get full insurance. If any issue arises, European car rental companies will shirk responsibility, QEEQ is useless, and losses can't be recovered.

No queue numbers, I was just told to wait. Is she stupid? Changed the pickup location and blamed it on the customer, Tried 3 different charging cables and all had bad connections. Can't you check this in advance?

Very convenient

The supplier forced me to change the car model, claiming they didn't have the one I originally booked. Despite expressing my dissatisfaction, they still forced the change as I urgently needed a car. Additionally, although I had already paid for various insurances online, the foreign store ignored them and charged me again. Their attitude was extremely bad.

Our group of four booked a Touran seven-seater online, which was supposed to accommodate four large suitcases. The site showed that the car had seven seats, and the last two seats could be folded down to make more trunk space, which we believed would fit our four suitcases based on past experiences. However, Europcar only provided a Renault five-seater, claiming it could hold four suitcases. When we picked up the car, the staff saw the size of our luggage and we confirmed multiple times if it could fit four suitcases, but the trunk could not accommodate them. We went back to inquire, and they said our booking only included space for four hand luggage items, and that the Renault was in the same class as the car we booked. They suggested switching to a nine-seater Vito, which indeed could fit our luggage and was easier to drive, but this came with an additional fee of 340 euros per day, later reduced to 120 euros per day. We reluctantly accepted and switched to the Vito. After driving for half an hour, we realized the Vito was too large and hard to control, had no rearview camera or sensors, so we returned to request a seven-seater. We ended up with a five-seater Touran instead, which could barely fit our luggage and had no rearview display or sensors. The 120 euro daily fee was not refunded. When we returned the car on April 6, there was a fuel charge of 78 euros, claiming we didn't return the Vito with a full tank. We contested this as the staff didn't inform us about a full-to-full policy, and it was unreasonable to charge 78 euros for a one-hour drive. We drove the Touran for five days and over 1000 km, and refilling the tank near the airport cost only 45 euros. I have requested follow-up from the rental staff, and am very dissatisfied with Europcar.

Please note that Barcelona airport has two terminals. Make sure to choose the correct one when booking, as they are not well connected.

This EUROPCAR company is extremely terrible. On the Zuzuche platform, it indicated that our credit card would be accepted, but when we arrived at the store, they did not acknowledge it and said that Zuzuche platform had nothing to do with them. As a result, they didn't give us the car, refused to cancel the order, and denied a refund, wasting us thousands of yuan.

Very satisfied

The counter staff upgraded my car without my consent, doubling the rental cost. Extremely frustrating.

Staff at Barcelona airport tried to upsell insurance and charged extra claiming the car we reserved wasn't available. With the help of QEEQ customer service, we eventually got the car we booked. Although the process was convoluted, we were satisfied with the outcome.

Initially booked with AVIS, but remembered the unpleasant experience in Los Angeles where AVIS forced insurance charges. Switched to Europcar before the trip. Both pickup and dropoff were smooth without excessive upselling. We got the car we wanted.

The car rental service was good, but the instructions were unclear. After landing, the car we needed wasn't available in our terminal. We had to either pay more or go to another terminal. The car options (CRV Hybrid or upgraded to Tiguan) weren't different at all. They said we could just go to the parking lot, but after reaching the other terminal, we still had to handle things at the car rental center and not at the parking lot service center. This caused us to run around the airport several times. In the end, we got the Tiguan without paying extra. Online, both cars are listed as the same, and the hybrid is more fuel-efficient.

I arrived 4 hours early and asked the staff if it was possible to pick up the car earlier. They recommended an Audi and even though I asked twice, they said it was the same price. However, upon returning the car, I was charged over 300 euros more. The staff in Madrid confirmed that the price had increased.

Arrived 40 minutes early. Normally, after completing the formalities at Terminal 1, I would rush to the parking lot at Terminal 2. There was no car available. Numerous phone calls were made back and forth, and it took 54 minutes past the scheduled pick-up time to get the car. It really messed up my plans. Returning the car in advance went smoothly.

Europcar was extremely efficient and was very easy to pick up and drop off my rental car.

Very good

Forced to buy the mandatory store insurance for 680 euros (5000 RMB) for 14 days. The car provided was just average. Cross-border fee was 178 euros (1400 RMB). I personally recommend buying the full insurance from the rental service. My deposit has still not been refunded even though the order is completed.
