Review of Europcar - Republic of Ireland


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Extra payment taken after in ‘ERROR’

Well recently left positive review here but have encountered problem since. Booked car, no probs driving car etc returned all ok no serious probs. Well just checking credit card statement & noticed an extra charge for £25.01 so messaged Europcar/GoCar got a reply back apologising for it, (anyone else get this & possibly ignored it or not noticed?) well got the refund but was a little short, so messaged them again & asked re the difference was told by MIKE O’NEILL that it was exchange rate & for me to contact my bank…..a payment was taken by ’error’ & I got to chase up the difference? Messaged Mike again shortly after sending 1st message today & now got ‘on leave till next week’ So now i message my bank & get a foreigner who cannot understand English language near 2 hours, trying to explain EUROPCAR took an unauthorised payment, but never refunded me in full, because off exchange rate/market saying i have to now contact my bank? So just wondering I bet they try this on all there customers many who do not check there bill or think it must be an extra & don’t bother. TWICE I Emailed MIKE ONEILL & twice I get a fobbed off message ‘I’m away on leave till next week’ BE AWARE & CHECK FOR EXTRAS THAT ARE ’ACCIDENTLY’ PUT ON AFTER HIRING A CAR FROM THESE EUROPCAR/GOCAR
Today March 4th email address Mike sent me ‘as he is away’ has come back undeliverable as his has as well so presume they have blocked me
