Europcar are not good!

They recently took over Goldcar and a little net reading will tell you how absolutely terrible they are, and to avoid at all costs. The Goldcar way of overcharging customers seems to be carried through to Europcar now too.

Does that comment refer specifically to Sicily?

So I have an additional question - we are going to Majorca and our villa offers free car hire as part of the package. It offers a Basic insurance or an all inclusive, and I am used to the difference being the excess cover, but is it standard for the cover to differ in terms of not covering "scratches, bumps, mirror damage, tyre damage" etc? I assume my excess insurance would not cover me for such items were it to be necessary?

Ask your excess car hire insurance company for advice on whether you would be covered under your particular arrangement.

Europcar are terrible and far from reputable, easyJet really need to drop them.
