" As listed on my rental voucher, I picked up the car at Europcar's counter in the St. Jean train station in Bordeaux, France, on Monday, March 31, 2025, at a little after 10 a.m. I do not know the name of the young woman who helped me at the counter, but she made a special, very welcome effort to prepare the car, check its equipment, and prepare the paperwork. She should be commended. "

" I had questions about how to turn in the car at Montpellier Gare Sud de France. I visited the Avis office at Montpellier Gare Saint-Roch and spoke with a very pleasant and helpful young woman at the desk, who explained the drop-off procedure and went to the trouble of showing me a photo of the parking place and the key drop. This made the drop-off process go very smoothly. "

" The check in on 4/20/14 was very time consuming (30 minutes and I was the first customer of the morning). The directions to the car park were not specific (should give a detailed map with directions and distance). I was given a larger car which worked well and gave good gas mileage, but because of its size was difficult to park in cities. The check in at the conclusion was well executed "

" In our travels to France we have always leased with Auto Europe and have never been disappointed. On this trip we were very appreciative of the gentleman representative at the Bordeaux Airport. He took the time and effort to explain all aspects of the vehicle and upon return was again on time and helpful. "
" EXCELLENT. Want to especially thank the Peugeot dealership in Bias/Mimizan. We stopped there for instructions on the GPS, specifically to map out a trip. A young man was asked to assist us and he was patient and spent all the time needed to explain the use and actually entered our routing. Am certain this kind of customer service to a leasee is exceptional and we are most appreciative, so we liked the vehicle, it performed well and turns out those employed in Mimizan perform exceptional well as well. "
" Everything went well as planned. Good service. Thanks "
" Smooth and efficient "
" Great service, but you have lost me for the next rental due to your hidden costs. I received a 70 euro charge from Europcar following my rental, which makes your costs the same or more expensive than if I book directly with them. "
" I will be booking directly with them next time - cost is the same or lower, and I don't have the lengthy screening process at pick up "
" Online reservation was easy. "
" The licensing fee should have been a little clearer ahead of time. I was only told of the surcharge for renting at the train station. "
" there were fees that were not quite clear until you make your reservation, so it turned out to be quite expensive. wasn't happy about that. regarding the documentation, never beed told upfrint to bring two IDs "
" great car, very satisfied "
" Very good car; no problems. Car was comfortable, it suited our needs perfectly. "
