Okau, BUT!

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.

Easy pick-up and drop-off procedures, friendly service.

Waited for half an hour because the pre-booked baby seat wasn’t fitted. The car itself was disgustingly filthy. Had never been cleaned and the previous occupants had left such a horrible mess. Steering wheel and dashboard screen and buttons were covered in an unknown sticky substance. The car smelled of smoke mixed with fruit juice (presumably previously spilled in the car). There was food all on the floors and under the seats and discarded cigarette butts under the seats. The boot was full of mud and dirt. I contacted Europcar but they never returned my calls or emails. We only hired the car for 24 hours and I was in such a rush I wasn’t able to return the car and ask for an exchange.

We tried to drop off the car at 12.55pm on Saturday, 4 Jan in their city location but they refused to accept the car as they close at 1pm. We had to pay parking fees of 25$ over night due to that.

Great process, thank you

Station manager at Alexandria station was very kind, and tried to help us as much as he could.
