No Customer Service
I am a tour guide and rented a minibus from Europcar, Blagnac Airport Toulouse. I had 6 clients in age from 71-80. An hour into our trip to the accommodation I relaized the air conditioning didn't work. Early the next morning I wrote to Europcar because none of their phone numbers go to the airport office. I did not hear back for 3 days. This was during the worst heatwave ever in France! The person who wrote me told me to call road service which I did, but they said they couldn't help me because the minibus wasn't broken down. He told me to call another office, but they wouldn't help me. I then took the minibus to a garage, but they couldn't help me without first getting an okay from Europcar, but as I said none of the numbers worked, so I couldn't even pay for the repair myself. I sent email after email to no avail. My clients spent 9 days in the minibus in extreme heat. I would have taken the minibus back to Europcar, but that would have been driving 4h in hellish heat. It was 132 degrees inside the minibus one day. When I returned the minibus they said someone would contact me directly, but this took a week. I've been given a refund of 200€ on a rental of over 1,000€. I will never use Europcar again. They should be ashamed of themselves.
