The car I initially rented was too big, and they mentioned it was at T1 instead of T2 where I was initially coming from. I didn’t want to go back to T2, so they replaced it with a Mercedes V250, which wasn’t listed. The replacement car was smaller and even better.

Europcar is a well-established and reputable car rental company with systematic management. The counter staff did not engage in any unnecessary upselling, making the overall process smooth and satisfactory. The car was in good condition, with mileage under 20,000 kilometers. After getting the keys, you need to go to the airport parking lot to find and pick up the car yourself, but it's not particularly difficult. This was my first time driving/renting an electric vehicle. The counter mentioned that charging stations have become more common in France, but I found the best charging spots were at highway service areas! CCS allows for high-speed charging—100km in 1 minute—while regular Type 2 chargers take about an hour to charge 100km. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask at the counter beforehand to avoid language translation issues or other emergencies when calling later.

The counter staff tried to sell more insurance by lying that the car I reserved was no longer available. Thankfully, QEEQ's customer service was very helpful and negotiated to ensure I got the car I wanted.

I wanted to experience the European version of a car. I initially booked a Toyota Yaris (completely different from the one in China), but ended up with a Peugeot 208. Since this car isn't available in China, I gladly accepted it. The staff was friendly and efficient. It was my first time renting a car in a developed country. The paperwork was completed quickly, and they handed me the keys and pointed out the parking spot. No one helped me find, inspect, or check the car. Although the car was supposed to have a full tank, it was actually half a gauge short. I'm not sure if this is normal. It was quite challenging to drive out of Charles de Gaulle Airport's rental area (mainly because I don't understand French), as the signs were unclear. It took me two loops around the terminal ramps to finally get out. Overall, I still highly recommend EUROPCAR's service.
