Thank you all for the discussions and not removing this topic, otherwise I wouldn't be here to see the whole true story. I am planning to rent a car in Paris next month, and I have been horrified by different stories about people got ripped-off by car rental companies. This thread just confirmed my decision to rent from Auto Europe.

You see, if I search by "the best car rentals in europe europcar avis autoeurope", I get millions of useless info. But instead I search by "europe car rental rip-off europcar avis autoeurope", I get this thread only at the 2nd line. It is actually helping Auto Europe.

I have the same problem. I was in Milan in October 2010. I got a car from Auto Europa Silicy by car company. It was Nissan Micra 1.2. 7 days car havent got any damages and problems. We was in many cities in Italy, about 2000 km was done for 1 week. After we gave car back (i gave keys in office to a man, he said nothing needed more, we dont checked car, it was 2 hours on parking when we waited for office opening) and when we arrive to out home country i checked internet bank and saw that there were charged 860 EUR more (first 1200 eur charging was still there, not unblocked). I called to Auto Europe and they said that car was damaged and this 860 EUR deposit is for repairing. After 2 weeks they unblocked money but not all, minus 380 eur for mirror repair.

Also i find real prices for repair. They prices are fake. Mirror cost is only 80 eur in Italy not 180 Eur like they send me some fake papers. You can see them in attachment.

So i recommend to all people, if you get car in this company you need full insurance + photo car when you gave it back + check car with office man so they can`t charge you more and damage car after you gave it back like it was with my car.
