Like: The price was cheap. We booked first a Toyota Corolla and were given Volkswagen Golf, which is totally fine with us since the car is very good. We didn't ask for it but the GPS was included with the car for free. We had to pay a little extra for an additional driver, as expected.
Dislike: Really... I have nothing to complain about...

I think that Europcar can improve its return process because who receive the car were not informative and friendly. So I had to come back to the office service to ask some questions and evething was easily managed.

Very very bad services, I booked mercedes benz c 300 that is premium car but I got a small car folk (golf). They said no premium car at that time, that’s mean making reservation is equal as I walk in to rent a car, and my friend booked another booking the same as me mercedes benz c300 but got small car benz GLA .

The car exceeded my expectations. It was a nice car to drive around and there were no damages. It was like a brand new car. It allows us to connect our phone and display our GPS on the screen directly instead of looking through our phones which is a plus point. However, the lady staff at Europcar wasn’t that friendly when assisting us, for that there is some room of improvements.

I booked an medium SUV kia Sportage but the counter staff convinced me for an mercedes GLA180 upgrade without asking me how many passengers and luggage I have. At the end my family have to suffer limited space throughout Melbourne journeys for 6 days in GOR. Hope for customer oriented services instead of money making. Will not return again.

Terrible staff at the pick up counter. First they told us that our booked car had been damaged by the previous owners and that they dont have a spare car. Over an hour later there was suddenly a Mercedes C300.. spare.. out of the blue. New car was fine for us. Just a few grumpy people at the desk.

The store is within walking distance from Southern Cross Station. We were four people, and two of us took an Uber with four suitcases, costing 8 AUD, while the other two took the tram. The car rental company is very professional, and the staff explained everything patiently. We left a 100 AUD deposit, which will be refunded 7 working days after returning the car. However, we haven't received it yet. Returning the car at Avalon Airport is also convenient. Just park the car at the designated rental parking lot and drop the keys in the Dropbox at the car rental counter in the terminal. Local time at the airport and major streets and scenic spots can be seen locally.

The service was excellent, warm, and attentive. For someone who doesn't speak English, they were very friendly, patient, and meticulous. The vehicle's performance was outstanding, with full features including cruise control and lane departure warning, which was very helpful for me, a newcomer to Australia driving on the left side of the road. It constantly reminded me if I drifted out of my lane. Most importantly, they didn't have any hidden charges. During this Great Ocean Road trip, the only extra costs were tolls, with no other charges for violations or parking fees, which made me very happy. I'll definitely choose this company again when I come back to Melbourne.
