Terrible, terrible, terrible.

Tried to book a car for May. Website booked it for February. Could NOT change it on their website. Got in line for 1 hour wait for a chat agent who would not change it although I could prove I was not traveling until May. Only resolution was for them to cancel my reservation and charge me $54. Never, ever, ever use this company.

If you are looking for a car rental in Cluj Napoca (Romania) ONLY RENT FROM RHINO!

This is for the rhino car hire in Cluj (Romania).

If you are looking for a car rental in Cluj Napoca (Romania) ONLY RENT FROM RHINO!

After getting treated like total crap & ripped off from a 3rd party to enterprise in Bucharest airport (STRONGLY DISCOURAGE THEM), we were very scared that we would be ripped off again when we arrived in Cluj. It didn’t help that I was reading a bunch of horrific reviews about car rental places!, and that we were foreigners (American).

However, we were (pleasantly) surprised with Rhino.

We voiced our concerns & were honest with the man that met us at the Cluj airport. To be frank, it seemed shady the way they met us in the parking lot. That said, if you are feeling that way, you can be assured that they are SUPER HONEST! The man told me he totally understood where I was coming from and no worries if we didn’t want to rent from them (even tho he’d taken his time to come out & meet us).

We decided to take the rental (a little older than what we were used to, but ended up being a real good car & deal).

We were ONLY charged what we agreed on, NO hidden or after-the-fact charges, and no OUTRAGEOUS $750 hold for a deposit! We rent ALL the time, all over the works & a $750 deposit was outrageous from enterprise 3rd party.

The car was great, and ran well, with ZERO issues. The people who worked at Rhino were SUPER NICE, ACCOMMODATING & Understanding & I HIGHLY recommend them. They restored some faith in humanity for us!

We will ALWAYS go with 3rd party car rentals in Romania (also, Mexico! Similar story)., and when in Cluj we will pick Rhino! We highly RECOMMEND them! THANK YOU for HAVING GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE & treating us with respect 💕💯💯💯💕

Wrong car booked by Rhino - cost me an extra £200!

I booked a 4WD vehicle through Rhino and checked with them at the time of booking that the car was 4WD as I knew I couldn’t access the road up to my hotel without one.
They confirmed it was but when I arrived to collect the car I was told I had to pay an extra £200 for a 4WD.
To say I was disappointed was an understatement. I had specifically checked this with Rhino and they have completely let us down.
I would not recommend this company at all.

Sorry to hear this Louise, we'd like to investigate further as if it was a case where our rental partner confirmed that a 4x4 was available and was then not able to provide, we'll take that up with them. Can you please email us directly with your reservation ID so that we can look into this. Many thanks and apologies again.

I wanted to rent a 4x4 in South-Africa

I wanted to rent a 4x4 in South-Africa, so i looked at there local site
and can't find 4x4 or 4WD on any of the "bigger" models. only SUV is written. After mailing the Local branche they said you can book but we can't guarantee you its going to be a 4x4. After a few mails back and foreworth i mailed headquarters and received a mail (sit down): Hi,
Which dates are you looking at? I can chech availability. Our local agents in S.A. feed through availability depending on live availability.
However, if 4WD is not stated one cannot be guaranteed. I really can't understand these people. why you BOOK then??
Either you have 4x4's or you have only 2x4's , simple.
I want to book a 4x4 in 10 months from now and be willing to pay in front so why the xxxx can't you GUARANTEE me one.

Sorry to hear this Mark, just to add a little extra information, our standard terms and conditions apply to all rentals where 'or similar' is required as our rental agents manage large fleets and exact makes and model can very rarely be confirmed. That said, for specific requests such as this, a standard policy does not work very well, it's something we are working hard with our suppliers to improve. We do have 4x4 vehicles availble and would like to help you further. Can I ask that you please email us on info@rhinocarhire.com with details (dates / times / location) for your rental and we'll look in detail and come back to you right away. I'm sure we can get this sorted for you and apologies for the inconvenience to date.

Car Category mismatch and additional fees request

The requested car's category (IFAR - Toyota Fortuner) was not matching the Woodford Rental company category (UDAR). Result, we didn't get the category we have been asking for.
Indeed they upgraded us to an higher category which was a brand new Pick-up. Nice, comfortable and reliable car but not the good for the type of trip we were going to have. In fact, the soft cover on the back wasn't dust-proof and all our luggage got dirty every time we were crossing an unpaved road (which it happens very often when you drive in the country side).
The Rhino car voucher clearly mention "Zero fees to be paid at the counter (since everything was pre-paied online) but when we collect the car they asked for 400ZAR as contract fees.
After a short discussion they decided to wave the fees an let us go without paying that amount.

Thanks for the feedback Luca and sorry that our rental agent wasn't able to provide the intended vehicle, we'll review this with the rental agent. The issue of additional fees due on arrival is also cause for concern, but I am glad to hear that our terms were upheld by the rental agent. This is very useful information for us to work with our rental partners to improve standards.

Tried to rent a 4x4 SUV in France

Tried to rent a 4x4 SUV in France. When we got to the rental agency, the SUV they had for us was 2 wheel drive. We had to pay an additional $46 per day to "upgrade" to a 4x4.

Hi Nicholas, thanks for the feedback, hotel delivery is not generally a service that our rental partner offer, only very limited locations car arrange this and it is noted as an option at time of booking.

Poor overall experience

National did not have the car we requested, did not honor the insurance I purchased through Rhino, assessed additional insurance fees, and demanded a $1000 US deposit on my credit card. I can't necessarily fault Rhino for the service provided by National, but as I rented through Rhino, I wish these additional fees were disclosed up front. And it's unfortunate that I was forced to take a smaller car than I rented initially.
I generally do not submit reviews but overall, the experience was less than ideal.

Rhino itself are a great company

I booked my hire vehicle via Rhino and did have problems with the hire company itself, but Rhino were very quick to assist and to sort out my issue in order that I was not out of pocket. Would recommend Rhino and thanks to Phil in particular. Will use Rhino again for my next car hire.

Hi Kellie, very sorry to hear that the rental agent have charged for missing fuel when appears was not the case. We will chase up your case with a view of getting an update for you asap. Hopefully we can resolve this on your behalf but just to confirm, the issue appears to be with the rental agent and not Rhinocarhire.com, so hopefully we can support you in resolving this issue and it won't reflect negatively on us.

Excellent service, will use again

Other than the line to get the paperwork for the car, everything was easy and excellent. The car was better than expected with an Alfa Rameo Q4 rather than the Jeep/VW which we booked - same price. The person who greeted us was so friendly and helpful with directions out of the aiport and all the communication before we left was excellent.

Will use again.

My wife had book and paid for a 5.0L V8 Mustang, For some reason we received a Eco Boost 4 cylinder. We were disappointed. I did speak to the dealer with regards to the incorrect vehicle. I was told that it was still the same vehicle (soft top or similar) possibly even could have been a Jeep Wrangler.
This is not good enough.

Sorry to hear that Tim, very few rental Mustangs are now V8's, most rental fleets are moving towards the V6 or EcoBoost engined Mustangs on environmental grounds. Hopefully you still enjoyed the car, however we do appreciate it may not have been the experience you were anticipating.
