I reserved a “Toyota Corolla” or similar car, however when picking up I was told my car was a Renault Clio, which to me is a smaller car class, since I am tall I had to pay for an upgrade. I had booked this same car class with other providers at Dublin airport previously and did not have any issues, will likely avoid europcar in future.

Tried to make us buy the most expensive insurance without discussing it with us.

When my husband picked up the car we had already paid the car in full online. We did not need collision and theft because we were covered under our matercard. we even brought a letter to prove this. When he picked up the car they said we needed to put 5,000$ euros on our mastercard in case of an accident. we only had a limit of 8,000 canadian on the cars so 5,000$ euros was exceeding the limit. Finally we had to take their insurance which came to about 1,000$ Canadian. Plus we had to pay for airport tax of 25 euro which was not indicated on line when I booked the car. So 1,000$ more for the car kind of ruined our holiday. We had a fender bender during our trip so good thing we had insurance but the mastercard would also have covered it without having spent the extra 1000$ canadian. .

Counter staff refused to give me a car unless I pay for the upgraded insurance that would cost 300 euro so I refused to pay as the car was to come with insurance and I also have coverage with my credit card I asked would the put a hold for the overage on my card and they refused.
