Do not rent from them!!! They are a complete scam. Here's our story: We rented a car from Europcar at Orly airport in Paris. We intended to return the car a week later to Orly. Unfortunately, we got a screw in the tire the weekend before our Monday flight was due to leave and spent several hours on the phone trying to get in touch with someone at Europcar. We called at least 5 local shops, but were unable to get the car fixed ourselves in time to make our flight. Finally we received a response from the Europcar 24/7 roadside assistance number - they said to take the car to the Grenoble Europcar location the morning before our flight. They said that location would have another car to give us in exchange. As instructed, we went there Monday morning and they were extremely unhelpful. They said they did not have a similar car for us. We said that was fine, we would take any car. Then they said they did not have any automatic cars. We said that was fine, we can drive a manual car. Then they said they had no manual cars. We reminded them that we were told to come here to exchange the car and that we were told they would have a car for us. Then they said we could have a car at 2 PM. Since we were in Grenoble and our flight was from Orly at 7 PM, we would miss our flight. So, we left the car with them and managed to get train tickets (for more than 200€) to Orly and thankfully made our flight on time. Now we are getting charged 600€ more than expected, for leaving the car in Grenoble. This charge was not mentioned by anyone when we returned the car. We wanted to drive to Orly. We certainly did not want to pay more than 200€ to carry our luggage on 5 different trains to get there. Now they are charging us almost double than the expected cost for their screw up! We have tried their customer service number, and we were told we had to call the French number, which is not toll free. The last time we called that number, when we had the issue with the car, we were on hold for hours and never talked to anyone. We were told to email their customer service email, and we did so, and no one ever responded. When we needed help with the tire, no one at Europcar would answer the phone. After hours of calling, we finally got a hold of someone who told us we would get a replacement car, but then the location they directed us to would not help us. And now that we have a billing issue, they won't respond to any inquiry! Do not rent from them!
