Frustrating

Car was terrible. Was a diesel so finding a gas station to fill up was hard. The heat did not work, the plugs in car did not work, and the check engine light was on pretty much since after we pulled out.

Car was great. Clean, tidy, minor marks that I pointed out but they really weren’t that bothered on drop off. Pick up less than an hour. Guy on desk tried to up sell a few items like pre paid tolls which I didn’t need and luckily didn’t take. Up sold fuel, which suited me, cheap enough at $42. On site at airport so easy to find. Excellent experience, would use again.

Everything was seamless and painless. Will use again and definitely recommend.

When arriving at service desk to collect I was asked if I needed tolls paid upfront. I explained where I was staying and only travelling local except for a few days. I was told tolls were all around the area of my villa and be going through 3 regularly. I was told $9.99 a day which seemed high, however had bumped charges for extra taxes etc that accumulated a lot higher. This took advantage of me after a long travel day. I was only told negatives of not taking the pass by being told if I passed a toll and not paid I would be charged $25 admin on each toll. I was also told horror stories of people being faced with hundreds of pounds bills on return to uk from tolls and charges. I had pages and pages of document on a small pad to try and read and was rushed through as the service attendant was constantly having calls from someone to log out of the system. He said he was just finishing dealing with me and they rang yet again. I felt pushed into this which is very unfair and took advantage.

Everything was great - except we were told we would have a free second driver and were charged. The only way to be refunded was to go down to the main counter - which was very inconvenient when trying to get an international flight with 3 small children. I would have given 10/10 but I felt not being refunded was unfair.

We get up to the booth after waiting almost an hour and the girl asks how many we have in our party. I reply 2 kids and 2 adults. The girl says you are renting this car for 15 days and are going to hate it because it wont fit everything we need. She then says no problem we can give you an SUV. Which sounded great, she did all the paperwork just to find out she tried to charge me an extra 300 dollars as an upgrade fee. I told her that I don't want to spend an extra 300 when I already spent almost 500 on the vehicle already. She then replied all well enjoy the small car that wont fit everybody. I then asked for the manager and he came over and said yup nothing I can do unless you want to pay more money and then left. They said I already got "too good of a deal online that they cant do anything for me". I asked if I could cancel my rental and they told me to call online because that's who I booked through. Absolutely Terrible customer Service.
