WARNING WARNING WARNING

If you are told back home when buying an Autoeurope voucher for a car rental agreement with Avis, that everything is paid for, dont believe it.
When we arrived in Rome Airport, and where asked if we wanted anything extra for the car like navigation, wifi, extra insurance I said kindly thanks but no thanks. I signed a contract, several pages, and assumed everything was paid for. When giving back the car in Rome at the train terminal, I was charged extra 540 euros because I ordered extra insurance!?!?!?!?!?
Back home I already paid 730 Euros to autoeurope and where told everything was paid for. It was a joke. I ended up paying 1300 Euros for a standard car in 10 days!!!

Why autoeurope run a business with Avis No Idea. But I have been told that Avis employees are earning extra if they can make the clients buy extra no nonsense products.

Next time, for me there wont be a next time, but if you on day are forced to drive an Avis car and you think everything is paid for throug autoeurope, bring an extra contract for Avis to sign, where they guarantee everything is paid for.

Best thing to do AVOID RENTING AN AVIS CAR through Autoeurope.

I already tried to explain autoeurope how their partners are working, but they are not able to/they dont want to help.

Dear Mr. Toft,

Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear about your experience.

Suppliers on site can and have to offer insurances. If not needed, or if you are already covered through Auto Europe, you do not need an extra insurance, like you correctly stated. Without a voucher number I cannot verify the details of your booking.

Generally speaking, once the contract at the desk is signed, it becomes legally binding. We always recommend to read the contract before signing anything, to avoid any inconvenience. Our reservation department is also available to support our customers while picking up the car.

Please feel free to contact our Customer Service should you require more information.

Best regards

I strongly recommend not to use Auto Europe…

I strongly recommend not to use Auto Europe.
It's a rip off company.
They have a lot of rules and regulations wich they administrate in a manipulative way and only to their own advantage.
Their service is non-existent.
Their communication is rude and arrogant.
Save yourself for the poor experience wich there is a very big risk you'll have

Dear Mr. Luecke,

Thank you for your feedback.

Your reservation was a Last-Minute request. In these cases we always reconfirm the availability with the chosen supplier on site, to avoid any inconvenience for our customers.

In your case we unfortunately were advised that the selected vehicle is no longer available. Your booking was cancelled free of charge.

For further questions please don't hesitate to contact our reservation department under our toll free number.

Best regards

it is not possible any more to sign in

it is not possible any more to sign in. every time i have to write all needed information again. I wrote this remark also last week, and the answer was:
´we know the problem and we are working on´.
that is difficult to believe because this problem is at least 5 months old.
also I have concern about the security of my credit card nr and all information I save in the system.

Thank you for your feedback.

Our payment page is a "Https://"-secured page. We are also audited regularly by our credit card processor and are fully PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliant. Therefore we can assure you that the maximum security is guaranteed.

As soon as our LogIn-option will work again, we will let you know. There are still things that need to be worked on. Please excuse the inconvenience.

STAY AWAY OF AUTOEUROPE

DON'T USE AUTOEUROPE - YOU WILL REGRET IF YOU DO
I booked a car for our holiday and a few days later received a Confirmation. At the same date they withdraw the full payment on my credit card.
2 weeks before we are to go on holiday I receive an email saying, that they have cancelled the reservation!
Actually they are telling me, that due to an error the car rental was never confirmed by AVIS and it was an error that I have received the confirmation.
When visiting AVIS homepage I can see that the car is available but the price is now double up.
AUTOEUROPE is not willing to give any help. When informing them that my right is to have the car that I have booked since it actually is available - and it is their problem that the prices meanwhile has increased - they just ended the telephone conversation. My last two email they have refused to answer.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.....they are absolutely worthless

The voucher no. is 12688702

Dear Henrik,

We are sorry to hear you had a bad experience.

Without the voucher number I cannot verify your reservation and statement. Could you please forward me your booking reference so we can look further into your case and see if we can solve the problem together?

Regarding your modified comment: We are truly sorry about the situation. As my colleague had explained, we first received the confirmation ourselves that the car would be available, just to be informed a few days later that they cannot honor the booking. Even if you see the car available on their website, it does not necessarily mean that they have it available. Most cars, like the one you chose, are considered "on-request vehicles. Such situations are very rare but can happen, when the reserved vehicle has been returned damaged for example.
My colleagues had offered an alternative car, which unfortunately did not meet your requirements from what I can see.
Your booking has been cancelled to refund the amount in full. I am happy to send the statement to your email address in case the amount has not been credited on your card yet. Please advise if you wish me to proceed.

Please accept once again our apologies for the caused inconvenience.

Best regards

Dear Ms. Wouters,

Thank you for your feedback.

After verifying your booking, I'd like to inform you that the booking had to be cancelled the same day you made the reservation, due to the fact that the car you chose was unavailable. We did send you an email advising about this fact. We therefore did not charge your credit card.

For further questions please don't hesitate to contact us. Our customer service will be at your disposal.

Best regards,
