Holiday autos was great. Dollar car hire took money from my account without any explanation or authorisation. Finding it extremely difficult to contact someone at Dollar/Hertz

Scam
Scam. Upon checkout price was agreed at £1380 and there is a toggle that if not selected it charges in euros. This cost £1512. When asked to rebook they said £169 euro fee and would not let us be switched to pounds as we were quoted.

Dreadful customer service, faulty booking system
Dreadful customer service. Provided me with a car in the wrong country! I cancelled and rebooked, same again - wrong country. Obviously a glitch in their system but they deducted £90 both times for cancelled bookings at short notice. I complained but they refused refund (I suspect some AI dealt with it) they obviously did not consider the issue at all. Forced to contact bank to get a charge back. Big waste of time and they could have resolved easily

Dear Alexander Colombo,
We are truly sorry to hear about the extremely frustrating experience you encountered with your car rental booking. We understand how upsetting it must have been to receive a car in the wrong country not once, but twice, and then face difficulties with cancellations and refunds.
We deeply regret that our system glitch caused such significant inconvenience and led to charges for cancelled bookings. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we are concerned that your complaint was not handled to your satisfaction. We are reviewing our processes to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.

I did not get a car but have paid
I did not get a car. I paid for your extra insurance and Goldcar tried to fool me to buy extra insurance, said it was mandatory. When I showed them the booking mail from you, they said my credit cards were not from real banks.

Dear Peter,
We are very sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with your car rental booking. We understand your disappointment, As it was mentioned on the insurance documents that if you purchased the supplier insurance you will not required to purchase the supplier insurance at the desk, Unless the main driver arrived late or id he did not provide one if the mandatory documents at the desk so thy will offer the insurance as an exception at the desk and if the main driver contacted us at the desk we will do our best to help our customers

Cheaper and more in the package
I usually go with a South African company but Holiday Autos gave me unlimited mileage and £120 off the price I’d been quoted. Thank you!

Tytuł: DO NOT TRUST – They partner with unethical companies (Reservation PL892440150)
I booked my car rental through Holiday autos expecting a reliable service. Unfortunately, they partner with highly unethical companies like "Flex To Go".
When I arrived at the airport, the rental desk tried to force me into predatory upselling and lied about my reservation to extract more money. I contacted Holiday autos for help, but they provided no real support in the moment, leaving me stranded at the airport for two hours. They are responsible for the quality of their partners, yet they clearly do not vet them properly.
This was a nightmare experience that ruined the start of my holiday. I am now forced to pay significantly more for a new vehicle on my own because Holiday autos failed to guarantee the service I paid for. If they cannot ensure their partners honor contracts, they should not be in business. Do not use their platform!

Used Holiday Autos for getting quotes…
Used Holiday Autos for getting quotes for hire at Newcastle Station and received a great price for a small car from Switch a taxi ride away but worth it for the price - £345.61
Went and had lunch and shared details with my wife. Upon my return to complete the booking, the cost for the same car from the same firm had risen to over £500.
Such a shame as they have been my go to rental car company for many years.

Weekend Trip Failed
I used this company to rent a car for going on a trip to a wedding with 6 friends. So, we rented a big autovan. However, when we get to the actual car rental, they tell us they do not have it, they have a smaller car where we did not fit, and that the reservation did not fit what we ordered through the web. Not only that, Holiday Auto did not offered any solution to the problem nor any compensation fee. So, we had to pay a lot to rent two cars on the go, without any help from their side.

Scam
I rented a car on my name, I was there to pick up the car with our family credit card. Unfortunately they could not accept that because it was not in my name.. I had to pay 150 euros extra. I offered to pay the deposit (1700) and get it back when I bring the car... but no, not any possibility. I was with my mum, she had her creditcard, we could do it on her name, also not a possibility. The only possibility was to pay the 150 extra.
It felt like a trick. Scam. Just something to get more money.

Dear Josette,
It's quite clear from your feedback that you're disappointed and frustrated.
It's the supplier rental conditions that it was shows on your voucher and even before confirming the payment on the website when you selected the supplier that you would have to have the credit card under the main driver's name if you didn't provide it under the main driver's name it will be considered as no show since you failed to provide one of the 4 mandatory document

Disgusting service and car not fit to be rented
Went to pick up my car and it was filthy inside and out. It had a horrible musty smell and had green mould all around doors and book. When complained was offered that they quickly wash it only on outside if I would wait. I would never get into that car so had to walk back to terminal and complain. Eventually got given another car. No apologies given. Disgusting service and should be illegal to be trying to rent out these old dirty cars

Dear Geoff,
I am very sorry to hear about the absolutely unacceptable condition of the car you were initially provided. It is completely understandable that you would not want to accept a vehicle that was dirty, had a musty smell, and showed signs of mold. We sincerely apologize for the distress and inconvenience this caused, and for the lack of a proper apology at the time. This is certainly not the standard of service we expect from our partners. We will be sharing your feedback with the supplier to address these serious concerns.
