FAQs from Europcar
Does Europcar have a loyalty programme?
Yes. The Europcar Privilege programme is free to join and gives all members a year-round saving of 10% on vehicle hire. You earn 1 point per euro spent, with bonus points for actions like online check-in (50 points), renting an electric vehicle (150 points), and your birthday (50 points). As you progress through the four membership tiers — Discoverer, Traveller, Adventurer, and Navigator — you unlock extra perks including vehicle upgrades, a free additional driver, and surprise reward coupons.
Is there a student discount available at Europcar?
Yes. Students can access discounts of up to 15% off car hire and 7.5% off van hire in the UK through verified student platforms. A 10% discount is also available on international rentals in destinations including France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Australia, and New Zealand. You'll need to generate a unique code through the relevant student platform and apply it at checkout. A minimum rental age of 22 typically applies, and drivers under 26 may be subject to a young driver surcharge.
How do I apply a Europcar discount code?
It's straightforward. Search for your rental on the Europcar website, choose your vehicle, and proceed to the payment page. You'll find a field to enter your promotional or coupon code: just type it in exactly as shown and confirm the discount has been applied before completing your booking.
Are there any current flash sale deals at Europcar?
Yes. Europcar is currently running a flash sale with up to 20% off rentals across the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and many other destinations, for pick-ups through December 2026. UK-specific highlights include 10% off rentals of 7–20 days during summer, 15% off from late August through October, and 20% off throughout November 2026. Most deals require a minimum 7-day advance booking and a minimum rental duration of 3–5 days depending on the country.
What is the Leicester Tigers deal at Europcar?
As part of its partnership with Leicester Tigers, Europcar is offering a 15% discount on car and van hire in the UK and worldwide. The saving doesn't apply to optional extras, and it can't be combined with other active promotions. Standard Europcar terms and conditions apply, and the offer is subject to availability.
Does Europcar offer a delivery and collection service?
Yes. Europcar can deliver your rental vehicle to any home, work, or hotel address across the UK. There's a fixed fee of £25 per delivery and £25 per collection, plus £2 per mile from the nearest station. The service runs Monday to Friday (9am–6pm) and Saturday (9am–1pm), and isn't available on Sundays. Note that the service isn't offered at UK airports or at certain locations including Bolton, Leeds City, and Manchester Trafford Park.
How do Europcar Privilege points work?
You earn 1 point for every euro spent on qualifying rentals, plus bonus points for a range of actions:
- 100 points when you join as a welcome bonus.
- 50 points for completing online check-in.
- 150 points when you rent an electric vehicle.
- 50 points on your birthday.
- 50–100 points for booking a Comfort or Comfort+ package.
Points can be redeemed for surprise rewards, including money-off coupons and free additional drivers. Rewards are valid for 90 days from receipt and can be used once per booking. To keep your points active, you need to make at least one rental per year.
Can I use a Europcar promo code with the loyalty programme discount?
Generally, Europcar promotions cannot be combined with other offers. The flash sale discounts and partnership deals are typically standalone offers, so you wouldn't be able to stack them with another active promotion. However, your Privilege loyalty programme's year-round member discount is applied through your account when booking via official channels, so it's worth checking which offer gives you the better saving for your specific rental.
What should I do if I notice damage on my Europcar rental after leaving the station?
You must report any unrecorded damage within 24 hours of your rental start time. Here's how to get in touch:
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: 0800 0280 999
If you later receive a damage invoice and want to raise a query, you have 14 days from receipt to do so. Call 0371 384 0235 to reach the disputes team.
Does Europcar offer discounts for longer rentals?
Yes. Many of Europcar's current promotional rates reward longer hire periods. In the UK, for example, rentals of 7–20 days attract a higher discount than shorter 5–6 day rentals during the same promotional window. Most flash sale offers across Europe also require a minimum of 3 rental days to qualify, with some regions offering better rates for rentals of 7 days or more. Booking at least 7 days in advance is usually required to access these deals.
