As a condition of car rental, I was forced to pay €160 in car insurance (despite already having car insurance privately!) This is because the alternative is to put a hold on my credit card and they explained because there is an Initial on my credit card and not my full name printed, they would not accept that as a form of indemnity hold. But ironically, they would be willing to take payment from the same card if I used it to pay for the insurance. In my opinion, this is just to force the customer to pay for insurance they do not need. Total scam, I am furious!
