Return to Malpensa airport in Milan Italy was a challenge. The normal rental car return area in Terminal 2 has been closed and shifted temporarily to Terminal 1 garages. it would have been great if Europcar has noted this at either pickup or reservation time. It cost me about an extra hour to sort it out. It would have been nice if Europcar has alerted travelers to this change.
