Their business model is to hide fees and nickel and dime you.
Complaint
Seth Colby
Country: United States
I reserved a car with carrental.com, where they precharged my credit card. When i got to the car rental kiosk, the attendant apologetically told me that the I would be forced to buy mandatory insurance, which would raise the rental cost by $100 or 60%. The attendant told me that this happens all the time with the carrental.com. Given the new cost, I declined the service and immediately contacted carrental.com to cancel the service. They did cancel the service but refused to issue any type of refund. I have tried calling the company several times, but nobody with decision power was willing to speak with me. The correspondence that I did receive was bureaucratic and unhelpful. The business model of this company is to screw its customers after they have paid through additional hidden fees. As a result of this whole episode, I lost $150 and did not get a car rental. I would not recommend this service to anybody. My feeling is that they have a business model that borders on criminal. I don't know how this company has good reviews. They must pay people to manipulate their image or something
