Like: The team at Europcar were great, even though we did not get the car we reserved they looked after us with providing an upgrade, it was a nice surprise my kids are still talking about the Jaguar SUV we drove to Melbourne in.
Dislike: Our only disappointment was the fact we did not get the car we reserved due to heavy smoker, however the Europcar team came to the rescue and upgraded our vehicle, very nice touch considering the situation.

I did have some problem as I was still charged with additional 2 child care seats ( although I only used 1) despite going to the counter and rectify it before I drove off. I saw the counter lady made the correction in the system.The receipt was finalised a few days later and by then I noticed it was still on it. That was my only problem. Other than that everything was good.

I trusted Europcar that they should have checked the condition of the car such as sketches. Luckily I took a video and found out there are many sketches which were not recorded. Moreover, the vehicle was not fully top up with petrol and I wonder why ?

No matter how careful you are, there's always some kind of fees to be charged and they never tell you this, e.g. premium location charge, which was never mentioned to me neither when I booked the vehicle nor when I met the counter staff to collect the car.

The car rental point at the airport is located right at the arrival exit, which is very convenient. Since I arrived at night, it wasn't peak time for picking up cars, so I only encountered one person ahead of me in line. The wait time was very short, indicating a fast processing speed. UnionPay cards are definitely accepted, and since I paid the full amount in advance, I didn't face any extra upselling from the staff. They didn't push sales aggressively, which is better than in Europe or America. I only had to provide a credit card for the pre-authorization deposit. Unlike in the US, my credit card wasn't charged sporadically. After picking up the car, I could take my luggage cart directly to the pickup point, which is about a 3-minute walk. The car was in good condition, and although the model wasn't upgraded, there were plenty of models available, possibly because it was the off-season.

Extremely satisfied, overall rating 9.5. Firstly, the car was automatically upgraded to a KIA, the car was very new with less than 8000 KM on it. The trunk was very spacious and could fit three 24-inch large suitcases. The car came with adaptive lane keeping assist, which was fantastic. It was my first time driving a right-hand drive vehicle, and I was initially very worried that I wouldn't manage. However, with the assistive driving feature, I got used to it in about 20 minutes. On the first day, fearing I might struggle with the right-hand drive, I chose to drive to the suburbs for half a day and covered 260 kilometers. The acclimatization process was very smooth throughout.

I want to remind fellow renters that during the car pickup process, it’s essential to confirm with the rental office that you’re getting the exact model you requested. Since I needed space for two golf bags, I specifically chose a medium SUV, the Toyota RAV4, when placing my order. However, after completing the paperwork and heading to the parking lot with my luggage, I saw that the car was actually a small SUV. I had to carry my luggage back to the counter and communicate with them to get it changed to a RAV4. This took an additional 10 minutes, but thankfully, the issue was eventually resolved.
