Terrible - DO NOT USE
When meeting with the local agent, I had an AMEX credit card for the security deposit. The agent's card machine did not accept the card. The card was fully functional and was used many times in Marrakesh. What he then did was to take an amount on the debit card, and he then said I'd need to pay EUR135. I asked several times, with my wife standing next to me, that I would get the EUR135 when the car was returned. This WAS confirmed by the agent. When I returned the car, I asked the same question again, and he confirmed I would receive a refund in several days. I subsequently as told by United that the EUR135 was an insurance payment to reduce the security deposit and is not refundable. At the time, the local agent NEVER mentioned the word insurance at all and said 3-4 times that I would get the EUR135 back.
