It wasn't Europcar but Priveless rental. Your website said the rental agency was in the terminal, but it was 20 minutes away in heavy traffic. The car was old, worn and a bit dirty. You should never say the car rental is in the terminal when it's so far away. Also there were huge hidden charges that weren't disclosed on the rental listing. The people at the rental agency, however, were nice, but that wasn't enough to make up for the gross inconvenience and the 5-year old car that wasn't the greatest.

I did not end up using europcar in Costa Rica as they try an charge you an outrageous amount for insurance (no refundable $500) even though I already purchased insurance abd the car prior for $120 total. Working on getting my refund back , better off renting from the locale

Awful experience. Reserved rate wasn’t honored at all. Tried to charge me 5x as much at the counter with a multiple thousand dollar “deposit”. Had to walk away. Would never try to rent from them in Costa Rica again.

I canceled my rental car. The people, QEEQ.com, returned my money immediately. I bought the zero deductible insurance from the same web page and the money wasn't returned for the rental. I phoned Alliance and they said that they were putting in a request for the return of my money but I haven't received it as yet.
