EUROPCAR is awful.

When I arrived in Dublin they hit me with the insurance charge. Asked if I had a letter from my credit card company about insurance. Of course I do not. Another customer was being asked the same question. That is a scam!

I get a much bigger and hybrid car than I thought. Actually I need a car as small as possible for the narrow road in Ireland countryside but that's not a big deal. The stuff worked hard to explain the additional charge and tax and how to walk to get my car. Many thanks.

When my husband picked up the car we had already paid the car in full online. We did not need collision and theft because we were covered under our matercard. we even brought a letter to prove this. When he picked up the car they said we needed to put 5,000$ euros on our mastercard in case of an accident. we only had a limit of 8,000 canadian on the cars so 5,000$ euros was exceeding the limit. Finally we had to take their insurance which came to about 1,000$ Canadian. Plus we had to pay for airport tax of 25 euro which was not indicated on line when I booked the car. So 1,000$ more for the car kind of ruined our holiday. We had a fender bender during our trip so good thing we had insurance but the mastercard would also have covered it without having spent the extra 1000$ canadian. .

Did not have my records when I got to counter! Lousy directions to return the car.

Everything was OK!

The agent at check in told me she was upgrading my vehicle free of charge. This was not even an option to decline as she handed me the keys and told me she went ahead an upgraded me to a BMW for free. We later found out that we were charged over 300 Euro for the upgrade which the company then refused to refund. Re read your contract before signing anything! Lesson learned!
