When picking up the car, I asked the staff for a newer vehicle, but the car I received had nearly 80,000 kilometers on it and was covered in scratches. Additionally, there was an upsell attempt during pickup.

They will find every way to take your money

It was off-season when we went, so there was no queue. They did offer additional insurance, but it wasn't overly pushy. After giving us the keys, there was no guidance or anyone to take us to the rental car location. The car model was changed in the end and felt somewhat smaller, but my friends decided to accept it, so we didn't push further. It wasn't a very pleasant experience.

Europcar is quite professional in Europe, slightly below Hertz. Their stores are large and professional, with clear instructions, which is very important and makes finding your car quickly easier (In this trip, we also used Avis for the third rental, and their instructions were unclear, taking us an hour to find the car, with average customer service and fewer car models, so we won't use them again). Many foreigners rent from Europcar. This is our second rental of the trip, from the airport. Due to a lot of luggage, we were first given a Ford business van (7-9 seats), but it felt too big for parking and maneuvering, so we requested a change (a very wise decision, given that the public underground parking garages have very narrow paths, making it easy for large vehicles to get scratched). The second car was a manual Hyundai sedan, but it couldn't fit our luggage (we could fold down the rear seats to fit the luggage, but that's not safe for travel), so we changed the car for a third time. After several changes, the front desk upgraded us to a manual Jeep for free, which was perfect. The Jeep handled excellently on mountain roads and steep paths, providing a safe driving experience. We returned the car at Avignon train station, which was very convenient, taking only five minutes. The clear instructions and ample parking space were helpful (unlike Avis at the train station, which had very few parking spots, no staff, and lacking designated parking spots could delay your schedule).

Service du personnel ne nous a pas prévenus de dommages sur la voiture. il ne nous a pas expliqué comment conduire la voiture (c'était une voiture hybride). La voiture n'était pas au bon endroit qu'on nous avait dit et il n'y avait personne à qui demander. Nous avons perdu trop de temps et nous avons été stressés. Je pense que quelqu'un aurait dû nous accompagner pour voir si tout allait bien pour la voiture.
