Don´t book a car by this company!!
Don´t book a car by this company!!! Very unfriendly and not serviceminded at all, not treating their customers with any respect!! I made a reservation for a car, however our plans where changed and the day after the reservation I called the company and canceled the reservation. The lady I spoke with ensured me that the cancelation was ok, and that I would not be charged the cost for the rental, (it was already reserved on my bank account). One week later the amont was withdrawn from my bank account anyway. I called the company and I was told that they would not refund my money. According to the man I spoke with I had not fullfilled my responsibilities when I canceled the reservation. I should have made the cancelation by email, and that they had sent me an email to inform med about that. The problem is that their email ended up in my junk mail, and since I was informed that the cancelation was ok when I called them, I didn´t look out for any email, and therefore I didn´t check my junk mail. The man I spoke to when I called them just referred to that it was my responsibility to write them an email in order to cancel the reservation. I agree to that, and I understand that there could be a problem for them without a written comunication. BUT, my point here was that it was impossible for me to know that I should make a written cancelation since I wasn´t informed about that when I called them, nor was informed that they would send me an email, I was informed that the cancelation was done and ok. How was I supposed to know then that I should look out for an email, (that ended in my junk mail)? The man I spoke to said it wasn´t their concern. Ok, I can agree to that and I told him that, but I just wanted him to agree to that if a customer call them to make a cancelation, they should be informed, on the phone, that you also have to make a written cancelation. I realize that I will not get my money back, I just wanted the company to accept my point, that they can not receive a cancelation by phone and say that the cancelation is ok, without telling the customer that you will a recieve an email, (in the junk mail), telling you that you have to make a written cancelation, otherwise you have to pay for the rental. The man I spoke to did not listen to my point at all, just kept repeting that I had not fullfilled my responsibility with a written cancelation. My main point here is not that I have to pay for something I havn´t used, I can live with that, the point is that the man I spoke to could have said; "I see your point and I should inform the staff the importance of informing the customers that they have to make a written cencelation, a phonecall is not enough". And also he could have told me he was sorry, but they have to follow their policies. But, no excuses, just rudeness and total uninterest of listening to my point of wiev. So, my review is, beware of this company, they don´t have a clou about what customer service and friendly treatmant is about, they are just after your money and treat you as a stupid tourist.
