Vincent: “moving, vacation or family, I can count on Europcar!”
I am a final-year business school student in Aix-en-Provence and I have already used Europcar on three occasions when I needed to rent a vehicle. Each time, the experience convinced me!
The first studio
Two years ago, I discovered the advantages of renting for the first time when I moved for my studies to Aix. I had just turned 21 and had my driver’s license for 2 years, but no car. I needed a small van to move my belongings from my parents’ home in Clermont-Ferrand to my first studio in Aix-en-Provence.
It was the first time I used a car rental agency. After browsing many websites, I chose Europcar because its 150 agencies in France assured me of the presence and support of a true network of professionals. The numerous comments left on social media and forums also had a positive influence on my choice. And I especially didn’t want any unpleasant surprises on the final bill amount.
And, cleverly, the volume calculator tool allowed me to choose exactly the van I needed to fit all the boxes. It was an almost-new Partner, with which I drove over 400 km. To be at ease, I opted for the “Maxi Move” package with unlimited mileage, which also allowed me to pick up the van in Clermont and return it in Aix.
Holidays with friends
I returned to Europcar a few months later when I went on vacation with my 3 best friends for a week of camping and surfing in Hossegor, in the Landes.
Thrilled by my first experience with Europcar, I went back to the site, still just as easy to use, and I was able to chat with an operator to quickly get answers about prices and the number of kilometers included.
We were able to choose an economical model – almost new, however – that perfectly suited our student camper budget! I even got a special offer, which is always nice when you’re watching your budget! And even comparing offers with other sites, it was impossible to find better in terms of mileage, equipment, or insurance…
Between surfing, evenings on the beach, and the people we met at the campsite, the car was never far away, and these holidays remain among the best we’ve ever had. In fact, with the same group, we are thinking of going to Spain soon to discover the Barcelona region…
The surprise birthday
Never two without three: buoyed by the first two successful experiences, I naturally turned to europcar.fr when, at the last minute, we wanted to organize a surprise for my mother’s birthday. Turning 60 doesn’t happen every day, and my sisters and I wanted to make it a memorable occasion.
This time, as I made the reservation on the same day, I did it from my mobile. I didn’t even look elsewhere: thanks to my account, my details were already saved, and the reservation was made in a few clicks and less than 10 minutes.
I went directly to pick up the vehicle at the agency with the documents I already had with me and didn’t even wait before finding myself behind the wheel of a latest-model Peugeot 207 with lots of options: on the road, being able to listen to my own playlist, for example, that’s great! That evening, and some 400 kilometers later, we were able to surprise my mother, who thus found the whole family gathered on her 60th birthday. It’s unforgettable.
So I don’t know exactly on what occasion I will rent a car next time, but for me, it’s certain, Europcar is always there for the good times!
