Thessaloniki Europcar Scam

Contras: Upon arrival, the Europcar staff claimed that if I did not add their insurance -- more than doubling the price of the rental -- they would place a 12,000EUR hold on my credit card. Fortunately, I have a very high limit on my CC, and could cover this, but most people do not. You will be trapped with no alternatives. When I continued to decline the additional insurance, the Europcar staff grew very agitated and heated up the hard-sell to a fever pitch. These are highway bandits, not a legitimate business. I've never had this kind of trouble with Europcar before.
