Actually my trip was cancelled by me and I didn't have any problem with Europecar.

But I also had purchased an insurance policy by Alianz. Europecar reminded me to cancel insurance also but Alianz haven't replied to my requests. So I've lost money for insurance.

We didn't die.

No pick up at airport which had been arranged. Taxi to office at my expense. Car was not ready for 2 1/2 hours- meant we had to drive at night which I wanted to avoid. Male rep pointed to left rear tire then to the where the jack was located. Tire went flat as we got near our hotel first night. Jack was not fitted for the vehicle (which had 97,000, kilos on it. Also duct tape on running panels, both sides of car.) Returned the car early but office was closed despite the sign saying they were open from 3-7 pm We were there at 5 pm. Was charge $40 for the flat time despite extra insurance I bought. Would never rent from Europe car again.

They offered us a new Toyota

Insurance was offered, which we took, but later found out that it only covered 80 percent. Extra drive if not a spouse/ husband is extra $5 per day.

The location was close to the airport.

Didn't have a full tank of gas in the car (only a little more than 1/4 tank filled). When I left, I asked if they'd reimburse me if I brought the car back with additional gasoline and was told they would. But then I returned it, I was told I wouldn't get the money back for the additional gas in the car. I had to fight it until they gave me something. Car was not cleaned thoroughly (there were tickets from past renters still in the car) and the vehicle's brakes were in HORRIBLE condition. Additionally, they try to put a $5,000 USD hold on your credit card if you don't get insurance with them.

Pick up was a little slow. But we did change cars so that was part of it. Took over an hour to pick up. Other than that, no problems.

The staff was friendly.

We put a small (less than one inch) scratch on the corner of the car on a panel that already had 3 or 4 much larger scratches that had not been repaired. To repair the scratch we were charged a ridiculous amount, particularly considering that they obviously do not repair small scratches.

This has to be one of the worst car rental experiences in recent memory. I paid for extended insurance on Kayak when I initially rented the vehicle. When we got to Peru, we were informed that insurance did not cover the minimum requirements for rental. Along with our personal, travel and credit card insurance did not apply. We were then upcharged almost 2.5 times the initial cost of the rental. There are not many options in Cusco, go across the street to SIXT car rental. At every turn we were up charged. Even charge you to wash the car. Crazy waste of aggravation, time, and money.
