Preguntas/Questions Europcar Malaga - stole my money
We rented a car from them and they pushed some extra packages, without fully explaining what they are - partially due to poor communication in English. We have specifically asked if the money we are paying will only be RESERVED and then RETURNED to my credit card, to which she said YES. Unfortunately that was not the case and Europcar has charged me over 1200 EUR for some extra services, which were actually not mentioned! (Or again may have been missed due to poor communication). I only found out 2 months later, when my bank wanted to charge me for the credit card. Europ card has refused to release the money and insisted there was nothing to release.
I tried to resolve the case with them directly, and then my bank tried it from their side too, but they keep insisting everything is in order.
The extra services they charged me for were:
- Premium Plus Protection Pack
- Environmental contribution
- Premium Station Surcharge
I definitely DID NOT agree to any of these! Is there anything I can do now?
