Car was good, pickup process was smooth and fast at pick up desk, attendant in car park was efficient and friendly for both pickup and return. I like that they allow for normal "wear and tear". However better signage is needed when returning cars to the actual terminal as it's very easy to drive by the return parking lot entrance.

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.

The agent at check in told me she was upgrading my vehicle free of charge. This was not even an option to decline as she handed me the keys and told me she went ahead an upgraded me to a BMW for free. We later found out that we were charged over 300 Euro for the upgrade which the company then refused to refund. Re read your contract before signing anything! Lesson learned!

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. .

I get a much bigger and hybrid car than I thought. Actually I need a car as small as possible for the narrow road in Ireland countryside but that's not a big deal. The stuff worked hard to explain the additional charge and tax and how to walk to get my car. Many thanks.

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.

When I arrived in Dublin they hit me with the insurance charge. Asked if I had a letter from my credit card company about insurance. Of course I do not. Another customer was being asked the same question. That is a scam!

The staff didn't give us the GPS we ordered. I thought it was built into the car. We were away from airport by the time we figured out we didn't have the hand held device. Good thing our phone had navigation. I called and asked for a credit. When I returned the car, I made sure I got my credit.

No one inspected vehicle at pick up or drop off. We were told to send in a video of the car. We did that. We were charged $500 with no email explaining why. We didn’t do any damage to car at all. This rental was supposed to cost $812 instead it cost us $1700.00 very upset with this company

The vehicle was great and fit 6 comfortably. The trips with our luggage was cramped. Most importantly, Europcar staff were helpful, courteous, and gave us no troubles. We brought our insurance documents, which was accepted without question. They were efficient and friendly; I would definitely use this car hire again!

They lied about the excess cover that I had taken out privately. They are complete con artists working on commission and will say anything to get you to pay more. The rental is not on airport as listed it is a bus trip away which took 20 minutes to arrive. Would never use europcar again
