We're here to support you. During your car rental period, if you become infected or suspect you have been infected and need to quarantine and therefore can't return your rented car, please inform us immediately or 1300 13 13 90 or via reservations@europcar.com.au.
A 72 hour period must be respected for the vehicle in order to minimise any risk of passing on the infection to other customers and therefore the vehicle will remain with you during these 72 hours, but you will not be charged for the rental from the day you contact us.
You are not permitted to enter or drive the vehicle during the quarantine period. We will contact you to arrange the return of the vehicle. If you do not inform us of the reasons why the car has not been returned, we may have to charge you for additional days, which is clearly not our intention if you've been infected or quarantined.
Cover can be purchased at the time of rental or at one of our branches when you pick up your vehicle. With COVID-19, we have implemented a new Safe & Flex policy. In Australia and New Zealand we are currently offering FREE Cancellation on bookings if restrictions come into place.
