About Europcar:5.7/10
I was completely disgusted and annoyed at the service that I received from Europcar at Naples Airport and the staff are ruining the reputation of both Europcar and Easyrentcars.com!
I pre-booked and paid for a Fiat 500L or similar in full, weeks before I actually arrived in Naples. My request for such a car was specific as there were two adults, one 11 year old, a baby, one car seat, two large suitcases, one small suitcase, one holdall plus four small bags.
When i turned up I was told there was no Fiat 500L available and I wasn't offered something comparable OR better to compensate for this. Instead I was told I could have an Alfa Romeo Giulia for & Euros extra a day and when I declined, I was offered a Peugeot 208 that had so many bangs, dents, scrapes and scratches on EVERY panel, that it was only suitable for a scrapyard! It was also far too small and filthy! I was not even offered a discount on the price, compared to a Fiat 500L, even though the receptionist was only too willing to get an extra 7 Euros a day out of me for the Alfa Romeo. Any other reasonable firm would have considered renting me a better vehicle for the same price but not at Europcar Naples Airport.
However, once I complained they decided that their 'scam' wouldn't work and after a 30 minute wait...a freshly prepared Fiat 500L turned up and I was able to get on with my holiday. The Fiat 500L was in good condition and clean although it had a scuffed front nearside alloy. (I also discovered later on that during servicing of the engine, some one had left an engine panel off, over the oil cap and it was dangling dangerously close to the radiator fan).
Other than that the car was great. Unfortunately when I returned the car with a full tank of petrol as required I discovered today, that Europcar have added £46.12 to my credit card which i can only presume is for diesel and I have already been in contact with the Fraud Dept for my credit card! Apparently this is a commonplace scam of theirs!
About QEEQ:8.0/10
Booking through Easyrentcars.com was straight forward and good (even if the price was a little too high for a week's rental of a Fiat 500L). But it was the best price for such a car at the time. i had no issue with the booking process, payment or downloadable information etc. however, the same cannot be said of Europcar at Naples Airport.
EUROPCAR is a good car rental company. The car had a few minor scratches when I picked it up. To avoid any issues when returning the car, I took photos of the scratched areas during pickup. The return process was smooth, and they didn’t inspect the car in detail. The deposit was also refunded promptly.
The counter staff has poor English skills and can't communicate clearly. There is no one to assist in finding the car in the parking lot, which is a significant difference compared to other rental companies.
Terrible experience, but why the extra charges??? My deposit had an unexplained extra charge of over 1000 yuan!!! The car was inspected at drop-off with no issues! The fuel tank was also full!!!
“Good, but reservation should have had been honoured.”
About Europcar:7.0/10
Europcar was informed by Easyrentcars that I will be late to pick up the reserved car. Despite that, I was informed that the car I reserved was gone and I had to pay extra for another car.
The car provided was of a different standard. Instead of BMW 1 series only one model was offered, i.e. Fiat Tipo.
