Poor|Nov 2022

We were given an older car that had visible damage. Over 75k. After a day we came to realize that the tires were stripped and had no choice but to continue to use as we were ina remote location. It was very dangerous. Also there were several charges that were not explained when we first reserved the car. The end price was almost 50% more than expected. Very poor and disappointing experience.

The SUV that I ordered was unavailable and I had to settle for a mid size sedan. Not adequate for my needs. Poor form.

The staff was great and let us pick up our car early and drop it off a little late. In return for taking a car with a chipped and cracked windshield he waived any additional windshield damage which is very likely on the dirt roads.

The pickup was problematic. One of the attendants was a total slouch, the other was great. But more importantly the car had maintenance lights on when we picked it up - so we had to burn a day while they addressed those. But the main problem is they hit us with a one way fee of 950 USD. Which would be fine, BUT Europcar and KAYAK didnt make this clear when we booked months in advance. They make it appear as if the total cost is the amount we prepaid online and hide this extra fee until you’re already at the counter and its too late. Shame on both of them.

The car was new, and fit our needs perfectly. We had plenty of room for ourselves and luggage.

We rented the car in Punta Arenas, a city near the Argentine border, with plans of visiting national parks in both Chile and Argentina. When questioned by the Europcar agent about our plans, I fully disclosed that we would be crossing the border. I fully realize that I missed the fine print in the agreement, and that it wasn't the desk agents job necessarily to alert me of the necessity of obtaining a border crossing approval from Europcar. My complaint is that in the entire rental process, it was never made evident to me, a rental car novice, that this document was necessary. I contend that I cannot be the first to experience this hassle. Secondly, when we found ourselves in this situation at the border, Europcar was not at all helpful in resolving our predicament. It was extremely difficult to contact anyone. When we did contact someone, they were unable to help us. The border agents explained that in the past when travelers encountered the same difficulty, the rental car companies simply call, fax, or email the necessary documents. Not so in our case. We were required to return to Puerto Natales where we were told that we would need to exchange cars in order to cross the border. This was not the case. We were simply given the required document and sent on our way. This certainly could have been done the evening before and sent electronically. Again I fully recognize that the documentation was my responsibility to obtain. I only wish that Europcar had been more responsive to my predicament in our time of need. We lost a full day of our vacation, and incurred the extra expense of gas to return to Puerto Natales, and pay for unexpected hotel aswell.
