I booked this company specifically because it was listed as “Terminal” pick up. I showed up at the counter, and they told me there would be a ~600AUD additional charge to pick up at the Terminal. Otherwise I had to get a shuttle bus to the off-Terminal site. I was travelling with my wife, large bike box, 3 suitcases and we booked the Terminal pick up so we didn’t have to worry about anything fitting or not fitting in the shuttle van. Had to waste at least 2 hours waiting for the shuttle and driving to the pick up for the pickup and return. The price we paid reflected Terminal pick up/drop off. Customer service lady clearly skipped customer service onboarding and had the attitude of “not my problem” even when I showed the Kayak confirmation email said Terminal. Because her system said a different location, of course she was right and the customer was wrong. Would not book again. I still don’t understand how in 2025 the car rental industry is still a mess and usually a terrible experience.

Gave me the car without a full tank, but charged for returning it with the same level.

Long line for pick up. For some reason the process seemed overly complex.

When picking up the price of the rental skyrocketed to nearly 3 times what was booked. The car would not connect to the phone, they tried to add a Bluetooth dongle but that only worked for 3 blocks. Corded didn’t work. Navigated by holding the phone not great when driving on a new side of the road. Felt like a bait and switch. Would never rent from them again.

Customer communication needs to be more polite not straightforward not impolite. Gental man at the counter was great and helpful.

Shocking & pathetic sums it up. The car was described as suitable for 5 passengers, which it certainly was not, we were 4 European adults. There was no provision for an upgrade to a larger vehicle, which we would have done but there were none available! At KLIA Airport? Hard to believe. The cost was extremely expensive - it worked out to $460 AUD for 3 days! What a rip off! over $100 a day! for a proton buzz box of a car. Never again. It would have cost another $70 if I had dropped it back before opening time at Senai airport. No it was very disappointing from what I though was a reputable car hire company.

Europcar is actually Fox Rental. The agent at the check in counter was not able to explain why I had to answer certain questions (got example why was being asked to sing to confirm I have not taken an airport shuttle to get to their office). I've also asked for no insurance extras to be added. After dropping off the car I've realized they've added LDW and LRP optional insurance. I have a feeling I will never see these refunded, despite having asked for no extras at pick up. Just another zero transparency car rental company. The car was dirty on the inside, full of crumbs, a half empty bottle and napkins. The drop off process was quick however and someone assisted me right away. They location of the drop off is not too far from the escalator to the terminal shuttle.
