Unacceptable Downgrade & Mandatory Surcharge Trap (Contract: 56814546)
I booked a Compact SUV (Jeep Renegade / CGAR) with Europcar Beauvais for a 2,400 km family trip with 5 people.
Instead, they forced us into a subcompact Toyota Yaris Cross (urban B-segment, physically unfit for 5 passengers + luggage). When we refused, staff demanded an extra €250 surcharge just to give us the space we originally paid for.
Our written request during the trip to exchange the car was completely ignored. To top it off, Yaris Cross is not even listed in Europcar’s official T&Cs under the Compact/CGAR category.
Selling one category and delivering a smaller car while demanding more money is a misleading commercial practice.
