Hi Raheel,
Thanks for leaving a question on our page. “While we review Europcar Uber Rental in our pages, it’s helpful to know that we neither work with them or answer for their company. It would be best to contact the customer service support of Europcar Uber Rental directly for further assistance.
Hope this clarifies and we hope they find a quick resolution for you!
With care,
Nikki

Hi, I want to become an Uber driver and I want to rent a car. I am 35 years old and I hold an Italian driver licence, but I drove so many times here in Australia. What do I need to do to be an Uber driver here? Is it possible to get information from all of these rental companies? (I don’t know if there’s an apposite service to get quotes from them). Thanks in advance, Gianvito
