We had booked and paid an Easirent car with Rentalcars including the comprehensive insurance. At the car pick-up we were suppose to deposit £ 1 250 with a credit card. Surprise, our French Visa was not accepted as they claimed it is a cash card and not a credit card. We have no other card and our bank tell us it is the only type they provide. Strangely enough on two earlier rental occasions with Rentalcars, but not Easirent, we never had such problem. The consequence was that Easirent threatened not to give us a car if we did not pay £ 90, more than the total we had already paid, for their full cover. On top of that now we have a problem trying to recover the 45 € we had paid Rentalcars for their full cover, on the ground that we knew we needed a credit card. To us these companies are simply crooks.
