Stay away, if something goes wrong and you cannot pick up the car, they will keep your money. All of it.

Took their bait of "Free Cancellation" and made a reservation then found that the coverage they were including for Iceland was bare bones. Found that for the same cost other rental car companies in Iceland include CDW so cancelled my reservation to get an email back that my deposit had been 'forfeited'. So beware "Free cancellation" is a bait and forfeiture will be the switch if you cancel.
If you don't cancel your cost for CDW could double your cost. Then you can also imagine the CDW that a sneaky and scammy outfit would provide you. To carry your own CDW for any car rental I recommend the coverage provided by Allianz. I found them under my AAA membership. Go to aaa.com then look under Travel > Travel & Trip Insurance. Currently the per day cost for 40K USD covergae is $9.

Hi Mark, this company Is based in the UK and are third party, where they ask for bond and car insurance to cover them. The car rental companies also have bond and car insurance as well, so you are paying twice. Deal direct with the car rentals

More questions about RentalCars.com

i paid for 7 days car rental which and your company does not even exsit at airport of malaga i hope your company rot. Our quote was for $255.00, how much more more should I expect them to charge me in Cancun when we arrive? Good morning, I would like to rent a car at Dublin airport. My question is till what hour are you open? Rental cars.com had me pay $496 to Rent-A-Car 45 days from now. I canceled the reservation and they are now charging me $496 for a cancellation fee? do they make you pay more money according to the kilometres travelled or you just pay for rental? Arrived in Newcastle and the car rental place refused to give us a car unless we have insurance with our credit card despite having insurance with u Ref: 349553860 I did not drive to Sweden/incur tow charges but Alamo CPH charged me for them. Rentalcars.com did not reply to my input. Please help. I rented a car and had a minor scratch accident. Im getting invoiced for the damages but have full insurance cover. Will Rentalcars pay me back? what does 'full protection' mean exactly - I assume there is no excess payable regardless of any kind of damage or theft? I have been waiting for a refund since 28 December 2017. My emails have not been answered. I am not happy with the situation and want to take it furth
