CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON EUROPCAR AT LYON AIRPORT, LYS

Ordered Peugeot Van or similar, but was given a Seat Arona at pickup, asked to swap as needed a bigger boot size, so car was swapped to Toyota Verso which had a much bigger boot. Car was damaged on 2 panels, but that was not an issue. Less than £300 held on my card whilst renting. Had my own 3rd party excess insurance which was fine. Have used Europcar in the past multiple times and never had a problem. Would use again without hesitation.

Like: Booking was swift and simple. No hidden fees and clear what you were booking. Explained insurance in a way that was easy to understand.
Dislike: no complaints

Like: Easy to pick up and drop off
Dislike: Car with many scratches No choice for the car in the same category

The overall service was good, very professional and convenient. Everything was great except the contract not being available in English and the rather high risk-driving fee.

An excellent car rental experience.

It's a big company, and the service is up to standard. The car is a new one, probably less than a month old.

Best value for your money

The first car they gave us had antifreeze insteadnof windshield washer, i activated it on the highesy at 130 km/h and we could have been in a serioud’s accident since we couldn’t see anything anymore...they rented us another car but no excuses

Beware the additional ECO charge applicable to all bookings

Easyrentcars eventually refunded the ECO charge that Europcar added on. great service, took a good while.

Not get the car ive booked for but after multiple requests, gave me a great vehicle.

Best prices, customer service actually call me to let me know my booking status.

Charged for insurance even though I said I didn’t need it and now struggling to get it refunded

We expected a compact car similar to a Ford Focus. a car that has an engine of 1.6-2.0 liter with at least 125 HP. The Opel Crossland X that we were given had a weaker 1.2 - liter Turbo engine with 110 HP. Although we told the Europcar clerk that we are heading for the French Alps, he decided on that weak car. It was no pleasure at all to hear the engine scream climbing the steep ascents in the Alps or trying to keep the car at 130 km/hour on the freeway. I am still waiting for the final charge on my credit card, to see if the deposit was released from it.

Great service provided by Europcar

All worked well

The car was perfect. we were glad we got the same car we booked not a similar one. Europcar should quote the final price including the international one way fee, because we checked the price many time while mentioning the pick up and drop off location, but only when it was time for booking and confirming the rental, a notification windows appeared stating that the price was doubled because of the international one way fee. Thank you

Like: Cheap rental but great service and upgrade in the car offered. A bit remote from the terminal (10min free bus drive) but efficient pick up and drop ! Would recommend definitely
Dislike: Didn't prepared for a bus drive but in Lyon it seems now mandatory.

Very satisfied

Like: All very quick and easy.
Dislike: The deposit money still hasn't been released on my card a week later despite them saying it would be as soon as I returned. Also, would have liked to inspect vehicle with staff before signing.
