GeraldDougherty's review of Europcar

“Don't hire from this company ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by GeraldDougherty on 31/03/2018

We hired a car in Ireland for 3 days, through the website.
The price on the website was 200 euro.
When arrived in the airport, they asked us:
- 35 euro more for some kind of permission in order to travel to Northern Ireland (I guess I would have replied directly no if my intention was to leave Ireland)
- 30 euro per day for some kind of insurance otherwise they would have taken 1500 euro of deposit (in this way only 250)
- 70 euro for the fuel deposit

When back, they found a really small scratch on the bottom of the car (absolutely not caused by us) and they blocked the 250 euro saying that they will provide and invoice the next week with the final price of the repair.


Still to wait for the invoice, but most probably they will try to take all the deposit.

Reading then online, I've read that there are plenty of these cases from this company all around the world.

Even if paying something more for the "base hire", do not hire cars by them!
