Rented a car for pickup at Ancona airport, Italy, for £250 for 9 days. All went well until I dropped the car off - no damage - and got an additional invoice for nearly £300.Thinking it was an error - and that maybe I had another £50 to pay (local taxes, currency etc.) I waited for the final bill. It was the full bill for 9 days' insurance.Interestingly, I was presented with this bill AFTER I dropped the car off. I might have had quite a conversation at the start of the car hire had they presented it to me then.I see that other contributors on this site have had the same experience. I also note the corporate boilerplate in reply - please get in touch with our advisors to resolve the issue etc. etc. etc.I have waited for my reply for Europcar before posting and they say that the charge holds. So don't believe the boilerplate - these people are rip-off artists.Their agent in Italy is called Keddy. I suggest that anyone planning to hire a car abroad avoids Europcar and Keddy like the plague.***I see that they have added some boilerplate, pretending to care. Clearly, they don't read the actual content of their negative reviews or they would see that I have done all that already. Their answer was: "tough, local problem, nothing to do with us".
