Extremely disappointing experience with…
Extremely disappointing experience with Europcar. After reading several similar negative reviews, we unfortunately had a comparable incident. We prepaid nearly €900 online for our rental, only to be told at the Athens rental counter that the same credit card used for payment wasn’t recognized by their system as a valid credit card, despite having used this exact credit card successfully for numerous other rentals and hotel bookings without issue.
We were then informed the rental would only proceed if we paid an additional €400?!
The employee handling our case was exceptionally impolite and completely unwilling to help or offer alternatives. When we requested to cancel the booking, the employee claimed he was unable to process cancellations from his computer and refused to provide a written statement to present to customer support, which made the situation even more suspicious.
Due to this unacceptable treatment and unprofessional conduct, we immediately switched to another rental company. We will definitely avoid Europcar in Greece in the future and recommend others do the same.
