Car was very underpowered for a 5+2 We also unfortunately had a flat tire and there was no tire weld or spare wheel in the car as we were on our way back to the airport, which was very frustrating and could’ve made us miss our flight

Try and make people aware there is a £800 euro deposit if you don’t take their insurance even if you insured elsewhere

Terrible car, suddenly showed DEF LOW one day, had to spend time fixing it, ruined the whole day's plan.

So smooth. Kudos to Europcar Pamplona for making every process easy.

I booked an economy (Corsa or similar), but was initially given a Fiat 500 (I had a total of 800 km to drive, hence did not want a micro), which I managed to avoid and was finally given a Toyota Yaris instead. The guy at the desk was very eagerly trying to sell me additional insurance, claiming that the all covering extra insurance I had (taken at the time of bookin; insurance by AXA) would be useless if something happened. The car was in a very poor condition with all corners scratched heavily, the front spoiler skirt almost falling off and a big dent/scratch extending from the passenger front door all the way to the back. Only 6 scratches were listed and as I felt being rushed out of the office I took photos/videos of all visible defects (later realized that I didn't even manage to spot all of these). At least managed to convince the guy at the parking-office (not at the counter) to come to check the car with me before taking off. Hesitantly he came and very briefly looked around the car and listed three additional defects on the paperwork. Was it someone with less experience with cars instead of me, none of those would have been listed. At least on returning the car I was verbally given an "all good", so hopefully, no further expenses will be claimed from me.

I booked an automatic car, but given a manual gear car as they did not have it at this location, I have no choice but to take it.
