The car is new and the service from Europcar is excellent

I rented a car for five days in total. Initially, I got a Nissan Almera, but on the third day, the car suddenly couldn't shift gears. I contacted customer service, and after waiting for more than an hour in downtown Penang, an employee from the rental company arrived with a Honda City to replace my car. The replacement car was relatively newer, had better power, and I drove smoothly all the way to Kuala Lumpur.

Satisfied

The car pickup was fairly smooth, the counter was easy to find, and they took us to the car for inspection. Returning the car was extremely troublesome; we couldn't find the parking lot at all. We circled the airport several times and, in the end, couldn't figure it out. We gave a policeman 50 MYR to lead us back. We had less than two hours left to catch our flight.

The car given was an old car; may be 10 years old model with lots of scratches. As our flught to KUL was delayed by 4 hrs, we could pick up the car after midnight. Though we, me and my father, managed to make the staff mark many scratches on the vehicle at night, it seems a couple of scratches were not marked. This was pointed out by the EuropeCar staff at drop off, who treated me & father badly. The scratch seemed rusted and atleast 2 months old. We are frequent travelers and this is the first time ever we were treated as if we did some grave mistake, that too after giving us an old car with lots of scratches. The staff who spoke to us rudely commented that he will check with EuropeCar management before releasing MYR 1000 taken as deposit. Please take this up with them and kindly help to get us the deposit without delay. Thanks Renjith
