I do know that many companies do require you to leave an imprint of your credit card as a guarantee but this can be explained in a non offensive way to a customer. Although I am surprised that a hire car company would only take a deposit of as little as 80 euros as security for a hire car.

When I phoned the chap I spoke to was absolutley obnoxious, treated me like a second class citizen, was very aggressive, and questioned why I should think that any car hire company would let me drive away a 10K car without the security of a credit card. Needless to say I used another comany who were perfectly happy with a debit card payment and an 80E redundable deposit. I would not ever consider using Europcar again.
