Smooth ride

Even though I already bought insurance, they wanted me to buy a more expensive one. Then they offered me an upgrade to a more expensive car but I had to pay more. When I refused, they started pushing insurance again. The deposit was higher than others; while others asked for 200 pounds, they wanted 700 pounds.

The rental company strongly pushed other premium models and insurance. I mentioned I already had insurance and would not purchase more. After I declined, they switched the Mercedes to an Audi and claimed that without upgrading there would be no navigation (although the Audi did have navigation). I had seen the Mercedes model when I arrived, but the company insisted it was unavailable. The service experience was not good. Fortunately, the Audi A5 was in good condition, so I didn't pursue the matter further.

Great location, quite close to the city center.

I was so impressed by Rodney who assisted at Europcar. He was polite, friendly and went above and beyond. I was very happy with the upgrade he gave and made my day. Rodney is by far a credit to Europcar and will certainly be using them in the future. Nothing is too much trouble for him, thank you!

All good.

A bit too pricey for a two day hire!
