Overall quick and efficient service, very satisfied. However, I later realized that the fuel tank was not full at the beginning, even though they claimed it was (the tricky part is that it’s hard to notice at first glance that it's not a full tank).
**Feedback on Oxford Car Rental Experience**
Recently, we rented a vehicle in Oxford for two days (local pick-up and drop-off). The overall experience was somewhat complicated, as outlined below:
**Rental Process and Location**
The pick-up point is approximately a 20-minute walk from Oxford train station, which is fairly reasonable. However, please note that walking is manageable if you have no large luggage; if carrying substantial belongings, it is recommended to plan transportation in advance.
**Service Attitude and Sales Issues**
- The staff had a rather indifferent attitude and frequently attempted to upsell additional services such as insurance and accessories during the communication. Upon declining, the rental deposit was immediately increased, which felt like undue pressure.
- When asking for details about the upgrade packages, the staff could not clearly explain the content or benefits, making it difficult to make an informed decision. This reflects a lack of professionalism.
**Fee Transparency Concerns**
- There were noticeable issues during payment: after the first payment attempt failed, the system displayed an increased amount of £20 without justification. The staff did not provide a reasonable explanation or any written proof, leading to doubts about fee transparency. A thorough review of the system or procedural loopholes is recommended.
**Vehicle Condition**
The rented vehicle was in good condition, handled smoothly (per feedback from the accompanying driver), and had no mechanical issues, which met expectations.
**Return Arrangements**
As the return date fell on a public holiday, the car rental agency was closed. Following their instructions, we parked the vehicle in the designated area and mailed back the keys. We are unable to fully evaluate the completeness of the return process.
The overall experience was excellent. QEEQ's customer service is very knowledgeable, and I've rented cars through QEEQ many times before. Extremely satisfied.
I have rented cars abroad many times in Europe, but my experience with Europcar in London was exceptionally troublesome and disappointing. I strongly advise against choosing this company in London. From the very beginning, the car pickup staff try to sell insurance and make intimidating remarks, followed by complicated processes involving various fines, and ending with a series of email hassles related to returning the car. For such a large company, their London branch is full of pitfalls, fines, and inexplicable issues that will cause you significant trouble. The service and overall experience are extremely poor. Among all the car rental companies I have used many times, this one is by far the most frustrating and stressful. Renting a car is supposed to enhance convenience, especially when traveling abroad where there may already be language barriers, but this company will ensure you deal with endless issues during your trip. Choose wisely, and I strongly suggest avoiding this company in London.
The Europcar branch in London was relatively easy to find. The staff initially tried to upsell an upgraded vehicle model, but after I clearly declined, they still provided the original model. Overall, it was alright. The car had quite a few scratches, but during the return process, the staff inspected the vehicle very thoroughly.
