At Madrid Airport, all the car rental companies are located together, but both when picking up and dropping off the car, only the Europcar counter had a crowd, while the other counters had barely anyone. This really shows how good their car conditions and service are. When picking up the car, the counter was staffed by a lovely lady who spoke excellent English and was incredibly patient. She helped us choose the right car based on our needs and even recommended a car that had only 4,000 kilometers on it. Although we upgraded the car on site and paid extra, the overall service experience was amazing and definitely worth recommending.

Got the car on schedule, chose a Volkswagen Golf, but received a black sedan, checked and it was an Opel with damage all over. Wanted to switch to a smaller car for a female driver but was told none available. Took over half an hour to document the damages. Later had a flat tire and was transferred to the train station branch with more cars. Asked to upgrade at a cost but was offered a different car after seeing its picture. Ended up with a 15,000 km Citroen, which was different from the picture and had a smaller trunk, not as good as the Golf. Communication issues made it worse, but the staff patiently resolved it.

Had to wait a bit, but overall okay.
