Wednesday, 02/15/2023, 12:29 p.m
Initially planned as a Valentine’s Day campaign, Europcar unexpectedly offers the solution to the current flight cancellations and disruptions at Lufthansa. The car rental company grants a discount of up to 30 percent on all vehicle categories, from small to large. This is how you get your rental car at a bargain price.
Rent cars for up to 24 days at a bargain price
Especially in the cities, many people do without their own car and thus protect not only the environment but also their wallets. Unfortunately, the bus and train are often unreliable. Lufthansa is currently also struggling with a global IT breakdown that is leading to numerous flight cancellations ( we report ). Anyone who is currently stuck at the airport or planning a trip independently should check out the
Take a closer look at Europcar’s Valentine’s Day campaign.
The car rental company grants
to Sunday 19 February 2023
Up to 30 percent discount on all available vehicles – from the agile city runabout to a chic sedan or a spacious station wagon to a swanky SUV. The pickup must
by March 15, 2023 at the latest
take place. However, the discount amount varies from region to region. The full 30 percent is only available in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Macedonia and Bulgaria. In Germany you save 20 percent on the car and each additional driver with a maximum rental period of 24 days.
Find the best price at Europcar
If you are looking for a rental car at short notice, you are spoiled for choice. This not only applies to the car rental companies themselves, which are particularly well represented at airports and train stations (Avis, Europcar, Hertz and Sixt, to name a few), but also to the vehicle range. However, the rule of thumb is the same everywhere: the bigger, more powerful and more luxurious the car, the higher the price.
The
Vehicle range at Europcar leaves nothing to be desired. Almost all classes from small cars to vans are represented here. The price range is of course correspondingly large. So can one
Audi
or
Mercedes
easily more than double one
VW (Polo
) or
Hyundai
costs. The pick-up and drop-off location, the date, the rental period and your age also affect the prices. Incidentally, for larger and more powerful vehicles, many car rental companies generally apply one
minimum age
from 21 or even 25 years.
We strongly recommend that you compare prices before booking and, if necessary, choose another location within the city. For example, a
Opel astra
(or similar) on
Ostbahnhof Munich
almost ten euros more per day than the same model near the
main station
. With a rental period of one week, there is a considerable additional price. Incidentally, in our example, a rental period of three days included 1,200 kilometers, so that longer distances can also be covered. Pick-up and drop-off locations do not have to be the same.
Nevertheless, you should also look at the competitors such as
look around Sixt. In our check, the prices were significantly higher there, but this does not necessarily apply to places other than Munich, vehicle preferences or periods.
E-cars are part of the game
If you not only want to get from A to B, but also want to have a little driving fun, Europcar also offers high-performance e-cars like the at some locations
pole star 2
or
Audi Q8 e tron
– sometimes at the same prices as the combustion engines. If you are interested in the topic in principle, you can find it on our partner portal
