Another Good AutoEurope Experience
We rented a car for 2 weeks in France from AutoEurope. We arranged with Europcar, the provider, in La Rochelle to keep the car for an extra day. Of course we knew we'd pay for that. We returned the car with 3/4 of a tank of gas, and of course knew we'd pay for the other 1/4.
When we received the bill, those charges were accurately listed. But there was another mysterious charge for 39.70 euros, so I called AutoEurope. They said they'd look into it, contact Europcar in La Rochelle, and let me know what they found out, and that it might take up to two weeks. Having not heard back from them in 2 weeks, I emailed them yesterday and got back a reply with an apology, saying that they had been tracking down Europcar but hadn't had a response yet. Today I got another email saying that they had been unable to get a satisfactory response from Europcar so they would pay the 39.70 euros back to us themselves.
I've always liked this company.

I had a similar experience, but eventually called the local Europcar franchise in Pérogueux which reimbursed me once the misunderstanding was straightened out, and then I got money back from Autoeurope (or Kemwel) as well for my troubles.

Dukey, I've been writing good things about AutoEurope on this board for years. And since so many folks just pop up to complain, I thought I'd put in a good word, again, for them. I have no affiliation with them whatsoever (except I've probably bankrolled a bunch of expensive vacations for their CEO over the last 30 years)!

This is not the place for positive posts by frequent posters lauding companies they've dealt with. This board is ONLY for use by cranky patrons who have heretofore not posted and who use this space to gripe about the service/price/quality of what they received.

Our car broke down on the Route de Napolean.
AutoEurope, had the car brought back to a garage and sent a taxi to take us to our hotel. The next day they phoned for us to pick up another car in nice (again, they sent a taxi)

always good to highlight a company as responsible as this - all too often it ends with the customer getting stuck.
I will recommend AutoEurope to others in light of above comments.
Thanks for posting.

Autoeurope generally provides good service. I just received a phone call to tell me that the local provider has changed its hours at the Limoges airport and that I will need to use the drop box.

AutoEurope isn't in Europe.>
I thought you posted some Munich address recently on another thread where you said most people rent from Auto Europe rather than Hertz - I thought by that you meant they do have a presence in Europe?
