These guys are AGGRESSIVE.
The long lines at the car rental area are crazy but luckily Europcar had the shortest line.
I reserved a car ahead of time and wanted to pick it up. Thought it'd be easy.
They did this whole dance where he said oh wait, let me check something. He fakes getting on the phone and then tells me, oh! We have a special deal for an upgraded car.
I say no thanks.
Then the man helping me tried to get me to get insurance. In the US, my credit card company covers all insurance. He tried to lightly threaten me by saying, ok but you'll be in charge of damages to the car and the car is worth $20k.
LOL Dude. Really. I almost laughed in his face.
I vehemently said no. Do I look like a sucker?
He gave up and finally gave me the keys to the car.
The car park is hard to find and hard to exit (no signs). Just follow the other cars leaving.
Drop off was MUCH easier so that's good.
Car was fine but these guys need to back the f up with the aggressive sales tactics. Don't be fooled. Make sure your credit card covers insurance and just politely say no. read more
