CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON EUROPCAR AT CORK AIRPORT, ORK

We had a very frustrating experience where we were not allowed to take the car off the lot without purchasing additional insurance, despite showing them proof of coverage. This has been an ongoing process to get this money refunded.

The man working the counter at cork airport was absolutely great helped me out a lot when I had to call as my flight was delayed a credit to your company

Dislike: did not like that i had to pay 19e per day for insurance as credit card and excess did not match, that was a surprise i could have done without. good car though and easy on petrol.

I picked up the rental car at 22:15 in the dark and dropped it to Dublin approx 8:00 also in the dark. I was accused of scratching the car which I did not do. I showed them (Europcar Dublin airport) the cctv footage of the scratch 15 mins after pickup and they said it didnt matter because I didnt make them aware within the 12 hour window. I only had the car in my possession for 10 hours and the Cork office told me I had 24 hours to report any issues. (Cork Airport office was great). My review here does not allow me to choose my score which is wrong. The car was ok and drove well. it had scratches you would expect from a 2 year old rental car with 85,000kms. The issue is that they wanted to charge me $1500 first, then dropped it to $850 and then to $800 for damage I did not do. Even with video proof they still charged me and I am never ever going to use them again. I had insurance through QEEQ which covers me but it is the principle of the thing. The car had many other scratches on it 7 of which were highlighted in the pre inspection paperwork. so you think they have done their job and notated all the scratches. Make sure you take pics even in the dark as they obviously charged other people before me and never repaired the scratches that those people were charged for. I have 25 rentals on QEEQ alone and this is the only time I have been taken advantage of. DO NOT RENT from EUROPCAR. Plenty other decent companies renting in Dublin Airport. Hertz Dollar Trifty Alamo Budget Avis have all treated me well recently. I would have scored 5 for Europcar Cork Airport and 0 for Europcar Dublin Airport.

My only issue with Qeeq is I want to set the score for my experience and not an algorithm. I would have scored 5 for Europcar Cork Airport and 0 for Europcar Dublin Airport.
