Absolutely rotten and corrupt Europcar office. They will do *anything* they can to suck more money out of you.
We had reasonably priced online booking when we arrived in Catania, but unfortunately the person who made the booking had broken his collar bone two weeks before the trip an could not drive. We were prepared with other drivers, but because the original booker couldn't drive, they refused to honor the reservation. They forced us to re-book under the new driver's name for twice the price.
Additionally, when they did the rebooking, they erred and did not duplicate the terms (we were picking up in Catania and dropping off in Palermo per the original booking). So when I got home, there was an additional charge on my credit card for a one-way tax that should never have applied. Thus far they have refused to refund this fraudulent charge and I'm having to take it to my credit card company.
DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. read more
