Received a car better than expected.

I paid extra for a SUV or similar. I got a small 5 door Kia Stoic. This is NOT a SUV, various excuses were made. Take it or leave it but no refund. Paid for was a SUV to seat Five, that would be impossible in the provided vehicle. I returned the car three days early due to there being no parking available at the Hilton Carlton nor any parking available less than a thirty minute walk to the hotel. I went to the Edinburg airport (EDI) at approximately 7.30pm, no one at the rental return area. Closed at 7.00pm. There was no indication as to where to park, I took a wild guess. I photographed the interior and exterior. I went to the airport and asked the agent what should I do, answer, where I parked should be fine and throw the keys in the drop box. Over one week later, NOTHING. No contact, no email saying return was complete, no offer of refund for several days early return, NOTHING!

Since it was provided by Europcar, the service was excellent and there was no forced insurance upselling! However, because it was a Keddy order, the deposit was too high! The deposit for a Ford Focus was 1100 dollars!

Everything was spot on but not the car I ordered. The replacement was ample but still, I see no point in you offering specific car models and then they aren't available. You should offer a class of car instead.

Excellent

We arrived slightly early but the Europcar guy was friendly and went out of his way to help us get away as quickly as possible. It would have been five stars if the guy hadn't then tried to sell us excess insurance (which we already had). This made the whole thing slightly uncomfortable, which was a major shame as otherwise it would have been perfect. Please can Europcar train its people not to clumsily up-sell insurance to its customers? It seems to be endemic in the sector, unfortunately. I want to be left alone to make my own decisions about what insurance I buy, not frightened into buying Europcar's insurance!
