Overall it's fine. The car's condition is average, and the air conditioning cools down too slowly.

There were quite a few upsell attempts, but I declined all of them. I forgot to refuel the car before returning it, so I was charged a service fee, which was quite expensive! Remember to return the car with a full tank. For the first time, I was charged an emissions fee, and there was another fee that I didn't quite understand, which was also quite expensive. I booked a manual transmission car but was given an automatic one; the vehicle was brand new.

there were very small scratches on the driver door which were not mentioned in the report, due to bad lighting in car pick up you could not see it, I only saw this on last day when putting petrol at the gas station.

did not use

The car was fine and the staff very helpful. The hire location is close to Plaza Espana in a narrow one way street, currently exacerbated by major building works. It can be challenging to collect and return the vehicle with so little space to manoeuvre - a skip full of rubble was being passed over the car as we were trying to hand it back and the traffic was horribly backed up. If europcar could arrange a separate secure area for pickup and return it would be great.
