A Real Mess to be Avoided

I did not receive a car. The shuttle bus never came to the airport. So because we waited so long I took my children to the hotel in a taxi. I tried to pick up a car but the following day i was told I could not unless I paid a full rental cost and that I had lost my original payment. I contacted your main office to see if this could change they told me the same. So I contacted my credit card company to pursue a refund as service was not provided! Your poor service meant that for the first 2 weeks of a 3 week holiday I was without a car!

We waited very long for the shuttle van to pick us up at the airport and it took longer to pick up the car than other rental agencies because everything was hand written. The car exterior was ok, but the interior seats were heavily stained and pretty disgusting. We had to buy some towels to lay on the seats. The car also was completely out of windshield fluid with terrible wipers, so when it drizzled, it dirtied the windows and made it difficult to see. I had to buy and fill the windshield fluid tank. The car was also making loud noises from below, which was a little disconcerting. Having the paperwork computerized at pick up would have sped the process up some as well.

Car was very basic (no central licking, windy windows etc). Counter staff at pickup very rude and said my credit card had expired, card actually expires at end of the month. This was not explained in any paperwork or at the time of booking. Tried to charge extra $400 so I could use my debit card. Eventually had to pay $1800 deposit on my works credit card. Another couple in the pickup location were having a similar problem and were also being charged lots of extra for their booking. Very dissatisfied with the customer service. In contrast the drop off could not have been easier!

Extremely difficult to get ahold of anybody when calling phone number(either no answer or went dead after many rings).Shuttle pickup at airport took forever.

Had to call 2 times and wait for ~1 hour for pickup. Drop off back to the airport was another 3 min wait. Not acceptable.
