This was an absolute horrible experience. I booked the car and the cost was $598. I arrived at the rental car facility and they said they no longer had that car available and they could give him an upgraded car for $1100 and that I had no other options. I tried to reach out to kayak. But you have no way of getting ahold of anyone. I will never be booking with kayak ever again. You are a 3rd party who does not care about the experience. You are not willing to do anything to make sure the experience goes smoothly. Horrible experience with Kayak and EUROPCAR.Reviewed Dec 1 2023

Good car doesn't make up for insurance scam and poor customer servicePros:We had a Ford Explorer SUV that was able to fit our big group and was clean, drove perfectly, it would have been a 5 star review had there not been poor service with Europcar and the insurance scam they pulled on usCons:I rented a SUV from Europcar through carrentals.com I purchased the insurance package through car rentals and when I go to Punta Cana they told me that for the SUV I cannot have the insurance I bought, I must purchase Europcar's insurance package. They also said that they DID NOT have it in writing as to where that actual company policy exists. They also did not have any paperwork that showed the different insurance packages. It seemed very sketchy and when I asked if there was a supervisor to speak to the guy said he was the supervisor. My rental went from being $375 to almost $700 with the little insurance scam. I emailed Europcar's customer service the day it happened, after my 7 day trip I still had not heard anything and still two weeks later have not heard from them.Reviewed Oct 30 2018
