I phoned to clarify that there would be no additional surcharge payable locally for me being 75 years old. The agent checked and advised me there is no surcharge which is why I booked this package.

Avoid this company - a complete scam

Avoid this company, it is a complete scam. I booked for a same day pick up but when I went to pick up I was told by the desk agent that the booking would not be honoured as we needed to book at least 12 hours in advance. There is nothing on the GotRentalCars.com website preventing an order for a same day pick up. I never received a confirmation email, was not able to cancel, but was still charged. I followed the link to their service desk portal and found it no longer exists. I also tried calling their customer service number and it also does not exist. I'm now pursuing a claim through my credit card company to try to recover the payment.

If I could give a minus amount of stars…

If I could give a minus amount of stars it would still be too many!
We booked a car through Gotrental for a pick up at Bordeaux airport. and were sent a voucher with details of a vehicle rental company. On arriving, we rang the number on the voucher and were told that there was no car booked for us. After much back and forth on the phone ( a number which was very difficult to get through to) between Gotrental, the rental company and ourselves, while in sweltering heat on a bank holiday, I took the decision to book another car through a reputable company. Unfortunately, being bank holiday, there was limited options and this second rental cost us 3 times the original.
Gotrental informed me on that day v, (before closing for the weekend!) that they would send us a claim form to obtain a refund. They also admitted that there was an error on their end but were unable to do anything about it.
After many many emails and phone calls to Gotrental trying to get my money back and some compensation, I was told they were waiting for the rental company to confirm we didn’t actually pick up the car. So I contacted these bc direct. I have been told my refund is being processed but I’m not so sure.
Under UK consumer law, they have failed to provide the contract agreed and been paid for and I should be entitled to not only my money back but this compensation for costs incurred. Not very confident of getting either to be honest. But I am like a dog with a bone so the fight will go on.
While I wouldn’t directly advise others not too use this company as they are unprofessional, I would say that I will never ever use this company again as I feel as though I have been stolen from. Oh, and I also get the impression that they don’t care about negative reviews because there is always people looking for a bargain price. I for one will only book through a reputable company in the future. I can also say this is the worst company I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with.

Terrible experience. Avoid at all costs. Terrible service

Iv had a terrible experience with this crowd I would avoid using a 3rd party company at all costs. Bad customer service, poor communication and also they took my booking money. Didn’t supply me a car and now will not refund me because “of cancellation fees” occur on the day. I was to collect the vehicle on a Sunday on the email says from 12 noon. No mention that it’s to be before 12 noon, no 2nd email informing me that the depo closes early on a Sunday which should be something the company points out. When I arrived there is no after hours number so I then had to book a 2nd car from Avis Budget car rental to get me to my destination. Spoke first thing Monday morning and I was willing to accept if I had to pay one day of rental, not take my 200euros in whole and not let me speak to a manager just hangs up on me. Avoid GotRentalcars at all costs.

Very poor handling of customer…

Very poor handling of customer complaints.
Changing of their insurance company during my hire they seem to be unable to resolve.
Taken 3 months of form filling now they ask me to start again as they have changed insurers.
Not happy!
