Thanks for the feedback Adam, the Allianz insurance is valid, however is a reimbursement policy so the rental deposit is still required. This would be confirmed in the terms and conditions of the policy, however if you feel it wasn't conveyed sufficiently, we'd happily look at this for you.

Worst experience with a rent-a-car…

Worst experience with a rent-a-car company. They attract you with a competitive price for a Toyota RAV 4, they tell you when you ask the question that they might not give you a 4 wheels drive, but a Qashqai or a Vitara, and you end up with a Skoda Superb. You have no choice but to accept the car because there is no alternative. Then you go your destination, a Greek Island in winter. And there, you have to rent a second car because the car they gave you is unable to drive on the poor quality roads you have to take. And they tell tell you nothing is wrong!!!

Beware the small print - avoid.

Easy to book but despite specifically reserving and confirming in writing a 4WD, I was given a 2WD vehicle. I was able to change it after two days at significant inconvenience and then was charged excessively for extra mileage.
So beware the small print.

Sorry to hear the correct vehicle was not supplied in the first instance James but pleased that the rental agent was able to source the correct specification. Mileage limits are notified in our terms and conditions where they are applicable. If you feel this wasn't clear, please do get in touch with us directly and we'll investigate further.

Really bad experience

Really bad experience. Sham company. Confirmed booking & then sent a 2nd email with a list of requirements, the 'small' print that is not so small. Had a horrible experience with some robot online that forced me to cancel my reservation and on top, they charged me.
Just to be sure I called the company I was allegedly renting from and they do not have that car (7-seater)... which leads me to believe this company is a sham.

Sorry to hear of the issues you experienced Marcela, the full terms and conditions for each rental are displayed at time of booking, you can view these at any time by clicking 'important information' on any car. We will review how this is displayed to ensure it's clear to all customers, your booking confirmation email states the same conditions you agreed to when making the booking. We're sorry that we were unable to rebook with an alternative agent if that was the case and hope we can do better next time.

Great value for money and the real deal.

Car was good, check in, was quick and efficient,
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Car hand over was normal..( lacked personality)
Return was painless and quick..
Thanks Rhino, Will use you again..

Really sorry to hear this, please do drop us an email to info@rhinocarhire.com if you've not already started a CS case as that's something we'd dearly love to put right. Whilst we can't rewind, we'll do all we can make the best of the situation but we'd first need to understand why our rental partner cancelled the booking. Hope to hear from you asap so we can investigate. Season's greetings from all here at Rhino (and a belated congratulations).

Unbelievably bad

Unbelievably bad. Insufficient information when booking. Then you are rewired to pay a £2500 deposit. You are sold insurance but still have to pay the deposit. We lost out money and had to hire from a reputable company.
DO NOT USE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Hi Rob, really sorry to read your review. The excess deposit is stated in our terms and conditions and our insurance product does state that you still need to leave the deposit as is a reimbursement product. That said, we would be more than happy to investigate further if you can provide your booking reference (please email us at info@rhinocarhire.com) we'll endeavour to arrange a refund where possible.

Really good value and great searching…

Really good value and great searching tool tor provide you with the best car for you. Still needed an upgrade at the car hire place after we had landed. The third party insurance offered was a reimbursement style coverage so which would have meant that we would have had to pay for any repairs upfront and then claim the money back, not ideal.

DON’T USE!!!!

Rhino deleted this review, so I’m reposting! Why ask for a review if you’re intention is to delete it!?
People are entitled to know what to expect.

The rental company you use ‘Easirent’ is an absolute disgrace of a company! The staff member I dealt with on collection made an extremely rude sexual comment in front of me and my father, and on returning the vehicle I was accused by another member of staff that I had caused damage to the vehicle that existed on collection, to which they became very argumentative about. A terrible company and experience, and all the time Rhino continue to use this joke of a ‘company’ I will not be using your services and will definitely not be recommending you/them for that reason.

To date I have received no compensation for this, and the only action taken so far is Rhino deleting this review (which is understandable due to the embarrassment and reflection it has on you as a company who use them)

P.s My experience maybe unique, but the fact you deleted this comment only adds to what was a disgusting, and to date unfortunately an unforgettable experience.

Whilst we are very sorry to learn of your poor experience using a company on our platform and will take your feedback on board so that our supply managers can contact the agent, we do not feel directly responsible for the actions of an individual employed by a different company.

Please do contact us directly on info@rhinocarhire.com with your grievances so our supply team can take this up with the the rental agent, however your review is not a reflection of the service offered by Rhinocarhire.com.

Rhino Car Hire / CarTrawler is a scam…

Rhino Car Hire / CarTrawler is a scam and this is how it works (or at least worked for me):

Rhino Car Hire is a front for CarTrawler that offers luxury vehicles for relatively cheap rates in the market, luring victims in - in this case, me.

When I booked a Mercedes class C or similar on Rhino Car Hire, I received a confirmation email with the phone number of Europecar who they sent the booking to.

A day later I call Europecar on the same number to confirm if I am getting the car I am promised and they say no. They further ask if I would like to cancel the booking, to which I (or anyone else) would say 'yes, please'. They reassured me that I won't be charged since the cancellation was within 48 hours.

In a week's time I see a charge to a trip I thought I cancelled. I call up Europecar and they confirm the cancellation, but they say they didn't charge in the first place and I should contact the agent through which I booked.

I contact Rhino Car Hire and they reply back with a copy and paste of their terms and conditions where they have neatly written in 'fine print' that the cancellations must be done through Rhino Car Hire.

So in short, this is how they make money:
1) Promise a car you cannot give and make a booking
2) Give the car hire company's number so all contact is with them.
3) This naturally results in a direct call to the hire company, followed by cancellation on the phone.
4) Given the chances of you reading the fine print for that specific clause are slim, it is very unlikely you will think about cancelling with Rhino Car Hire as well, giving them extra cash for no service rendered at all.

In response:
1) I have already contacted you and opened a case, and the standard response I go was what I detailed above. But I will contact you again as per your request, and would be interested to know what would be so different this time to warrant a different outcome.

2) To confirm, Europecar said they do not have even a similar car they can offer me, but something well below the standard I was promised. If it was a similar car but just not the Mercedes Class C I wouldn't have had issues. In this case I had no choice but to cancel because I was being ripped off.

Further update on 03/12/2019:

I emailed them with the information they asked for on 19/11/2019 and I still haven't been contacted. Only goes to show their response is just to salvage whatever is left of their reputation. They never had a genuine intention to reach out and make amends, or indeed, return the money they earned for providing no service at all.

Hello Saleem, we're very sorry to hear of your poor experience here. Can you please contact us directly at info@rhinocarhire.com with your booking reference number. Clearly, if the car was cancelled we would not have charged or arranged a refund in line with our terms and conditions. Cancelling directly with the rental agent and not ourselves has caused some confusion but I am sure we can rectify that for you.

Regarding the exact car being offered by Europcar, this is standard policy across the industry where exact make and model cars cannot be 100% guaranteed due to fleet management etc. In future, we would recommend all correspondance coming through the original booking source rather than directly to the rental agent as it appears this is where confusion has arisen.

Please do get in touch directly using the email address above so we can swiftly resolve this situation.

Best wishes.

*update - Thanks for the update Saleem, we will investigate fully once we have received email with booking ref and contact you directly thereafter.

Well appointed

Hired three different vehicles from three different hire companies whilst in the United States. This was the best. Clean car, nicely appointed and I was pleased to find that as a convertible it had the wind deflector and air scarf options which make open top motoring so much more enjoyable. Check in was pleasant and the staff friendly. The only downside was that an insurance that I didn’t really need had been added automatically. Drop off was equally easy and the staff pleasant.
