CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON EUROPCAR IN DUBLIN

Like: Efficient, no issues
Dislike: A little detached

Counter staff refused to give me a car unless I pay for the upgraded insurance that would cost 300 euro so I refused to pay as the car was to come with insurance and I also have coverage with my credit card I asked would the put a hold for the overage on my card and they refused.

Europcar was a good overall experience.

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. .

Car was good, pickup process was smooth and fast at pick up desk, attendant in car park was efficient and friendly for both pickup and return. I like that they allow for normal "wear and tear". However better signage is needed when returning cars to the actual terminal as it's very easy to drive by the return parking lot entrance.

Tried to make us buy the most expensive insurance without discussing it with us.

Like: No real hard sell, just good negotiating

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!

Didn’t have advertised model but had similar make

They lied about the excess cover that I had taken out privately. They are complete con artists working on commission and will say anything to get you to pay more. The rental is not on airport as listed it is a bus trip away which took 20 minutes to arrive. Would never use europcar again
