Stay away - if you don´t enjoy paying for services you never asked for
In June 2015 our travel agent had booked a small car for a colleague and myself, we didn´t need a large car to take us from Heathrow to Hemel Hempstead (about 45mins drive).
After lenghty paperwork the agent says "Tonight we give you a Mercedes". I immediately asked whether this upgrade was within the limits of the voucher for our booking, and the agent confirmed that it was indeed.
Then there was the usual routine of "sign here, here, here, and initial here, here and here". Since there was a line behind our backs, I signed and initialled as asked to.
When receiving my creditcard invoice it turns out there was a hefty charge for the upgrade we had never asked for.
I have raised a complaint, only to get the response that since I have signed for the upgrade I have to pay for it.
No comment about the fact that the agent clearly said "GIVE".
No comment about the fact that I asked whether it was covered by the voucher.
No comment about the fact that the agent confirmed that it was covered.
No comment about the fact that the agent then lied openly to me.
Just a blunt answer saying the charge is a charge.
Very rude.
I´m still withholding the payment on my card, and have asked my card company to not pay out either.
In the meantime there are other rental car companies that can serve me. And if Europcar is the only alternative, I would rather take the bus.
