“Absolutely the worst company I have ever dealt with! I asked for a price match in their online form. They didn't get back to me. I called and asked for it again. Was promised to get an email about it in 48 hours. They didn't get back to me. I called and asked again. They still didn't get back to me. When I was picking up the car the operator showed me her system which said that I should get a 25% discount. After my rental finished I raised a case to get my discount providing all the proof. They refused to give me the discount, claiming that it was some error. Very unprofessional behaviour and I am very disappointed.”

“Avoid! It’s a scam! Don’t be fooled by the cheap online price. It’s a broker, it doesn’t give your as much service/ protection when your book through car hiring company, especially when it comes to refund. Once you made your booking and paid by credit card, they will not give your money back under any circumstances. If you have time an energy to read and analyse all the fine prints and are ok with that then go ahead. They bury everything in there to make sure they can make you pay extra or not to refund you. Don’t buy their insurance on their website either, it’s a total duplicate with the car hiring company.”

“Booked a car via Rentalcars.com which directed me Thrifty rentals for a small car pickup at the airport in Lanzarote. On rental cars.com website clearly states debit/credit card will be needed for the hold deposit. When we arrived to collect the car which we paid for online Thrifty wouldn’t accept our debit card for use. Only once your booking is made, does thrifty in there T&Cs state they only accept credit card. Too late then as booking already made. Two week for a refund if cancelled, as we made the booking within 48hr of pickup we now lost £75. Through no fault of our own. RENTALCARS.COM should really change their wording as it’s highly incorrect. Fuming with the service we received. Will never use again or recommend to literally anyone. Turns out Thrifty is THEE only company used via Rentalcars.com that DO NOT accept debit cards. Even if you have far more than the hold value required.”

“Truly unbelievable experience. Naive of me to think scams like this don’t exist in America. “No hidden fees” but when you go to pick up the vehicle there’s loads of hidden fees. If you want to use your own insurance, they charge you $20 per day, then a $2500 deposit on top of that strictly because you want your own insurance. Attempt to make that payment, they do not accept American Express. They don’t accept debit. They don’t accept cash or check. Don’t have a $2500 line of credit available on your card? You’re not allowed to split the $2500 deposit on 2 cards, only 1 card full payment accepted. Want their insurance? $500 for 6 days plus an additional $500 deposit. I paid for a car seat, get there and they don’t have car seats, had to go to target and buy a car seat. They didn’t have the size vehicle we rented so we got downsized. When I asked about money back for the downsize, they said they would need to book a new rental, and the rates of the smaller vehicle are HIGHER than what we already have booked because of the timing. Incredible, unethical, infuriating. To boot, unlike every other rental service that gives unlimited miles for your week vacation, they only allow 50 miles per day, 15 cent per mile charge for every mile over. Never again in my life. I’ll spend more money (barely) with Hertz or Enterprise and have peace of mind”

“Avoid this rental company at all costs. !!! I booked a vehicle online at 11pm friday and payment for the booking was taken from my card. I then received notification that they would block €1600 security deposit on my card, which I was not made aware of prior to the booking. Tried to cancel and an almost 50% charge applied to my refund. They quoted me the cancellation policy of charges for bookings within 48hours, but I booked inside that timeframe. Customer service is poor and their answer to your query is simply read you the cancellation policy. Then read you a feedback for custom service performance gargon . AVOID AVOID AVOID .”

“I had a car booked in Costa Rica and 24 hours before arriving they cancelled the booking. They offered a replacement that was 2x more expensive without any kind of compensation from the unilateral cancelation”

“Had a car booked and paid for at the airport. Provided all the documentation required and had the booking cancelled at the counter because I didn't have the start date on my licence. All Australian licences don't have start dates. No refunded was provided so paid for a car I didn't receive. The customer service process is horrible as they won't protect the customer. Better off booking direct with the rental car company or a more reputable website. Had the worst experience ever. Nothing like coming off an international flight with family to find your rental car cancelled with no refund. All this in the midst of the worst earthquakes in turkey.”

“Do not use this company. They lack integrity, I ended up paying double what their system was showing as "total price". Their contracts include hidden charges, which you will find out about at the rental counter at collection point. Customer service is awful, unhelpful and rude. Avoid like the plague, use another company!”

“Had an operator tell me I would get a refund, followed their advice, yet when I emailed them about the status of the refund afterwards, they then used some loophole to withdraw full responsibility and refused to pay me back...Instead of being able to support my very ill grandfather in the hospital, I was having to sent documents back and forth to no avail and then believe it or not, despite their dishonest and injust practices, they had the guts to wish me a 'good day' after saying they were gonna keep/steal my 91 euros.”

“After a long flight there was no at the airport to meet us. After many phones calls a courier turned up in a van about 45 mins after we were waiting to take us somewhere else. When we got to the office of sixt that were provding the car they told us we had no insurance and had to 360euros on insurance. Tired after a long flight and 2 small children we tried to argue the point but we ended up paying it too argue the point on the return of the car. When we returned the car they shrugged and said that the broker rentalcars.com do not give them information and to take it up as a complaint. I have done this both to rental cars and with sixt and enither are willing to accept blame and issue a refund for either the insurance we had taken out at £110 or the one paid at the airport. In either case we will never use SIXT or rentalcars.com. we left completely ripped off.”

“Winter Tyres!!! Booked online, it said winter tyres included. At the airport in Geneva, no winter tyres. Instead they charged me 80 Euros to rent some snow socks which are about as useful as a chocolate fire guard. It is a requirement by law in France to have winter tyres fitted, why are they sending their customers in to the mountains with summer tyres. Tried to get a refund and a answer from them, they don't care one bit, complete scammers. Do not trust this company, they are substandard and fraudulent.”

“Rentalcars.com is a complete scam! Do not give them your money as you will receive nothing in return except lies. Booked a car rental ahead of time for a trip to CO. When we landed there was no company to go to called "rentalcars.com" so I called. Was then informed that my booking "unfortunately was not available". Asked for a refund and was told to take it up with my bank as, "they must have put a hold for the amount on my account." As if my bank decided to send over $200 to this company all on its own. On the phone now with the 3rd person that reached through calling them and being told that since my "reservation" time has passed that they did their part and am not eligible for a refund. This company is 100% a scam and will give you nothing but expensive headaches!!!”

“Easy to book but rental companies will add hidden cost that will charge you after the booking. I don't really recommend but there is no better option for quick & easy booking. Problem is that RentalCars is just a booking platform and they have no idea what is happening at the actual renter,.. so much potential but for me it was a dissapointing experience: got charged for no reason after returning the car (no explanation).”

“Do not ever used this company. They are scam artists. They have charged me twice for a rental car. I ended up paying almost $750 to rent a car for three days. They took their money from MEX car rental and also charged me the same amount of money. Then when you try to contact them they keep sending you the same email with a different agent name. Every time you respond they ask for more information. They refused to help me and I will dispute this with my credit card.”

“Be aware of rentalcars. Make sure 100% that you choose right car, place etc. There was no refund option in majority cases.”

“Rental cars.com is a SCAM. Forces you to pay for car insurance. My agreement was for $420 to rent a car for 14 days. It ended up costing me an extra $740.”

“I wish I had read this sooner. After booking a rental on the weekend I could understand that there may need to be some changes. However, the first part was straight forward after booking and being charged and rental cars cancelling and refunding. All was smooth. Then rental cars sent an offer for another vehicle which I booked and thought all would be fine. But upon checking my account they had taken 2 payments. Within hours cancelled the offer and refunded 1 of the payments back. So by the end of the weekend I have spent 2.5hrs trying to book and I am now missing $400. Nearly a week later and I am still getting excuse after excuse and still no money returned. I have had to ask bank to investigate to try and get back. Book directly with rental companies, I have learnt you are wasting your time and energy with these 2nd 3rd party booking agencies.”
