So sorry I didn't see these reviews before trying to hire a car. Their partner (SixT) refused to provide the car that was booked because I didn't have a physical credit card - only one on my phone. They told me that there were links on the website that highlight the fact a physical plastic credit card was required. When asked where they were they didn't respond and did not provide a refund.

I accidentally clicked accept and cancelled the mistaken reservation immediately. I was charged $50! This company has no phone customer service, and the virtual assistant on the website did not resolve the issue by refunding this $50 fee. Terrible treatment of customers. Horrible booking policy. Even airlines allow you to cancel up to 24 hours.

Its cheap. But you get charged for scratches you haven't made. The video that was taken was so bad that you couldn't see whether there were scratches or not. The person at the office went directly to a low spot at the car and found a small scratch in the front left side. He knew exactly where to look. How many times has this person made money on this small scratch? A pure lie. I had to catch a plane and he knew. How many are ripped off by this so called car rent service? Stay away from CarRentels in Lanarca. Pick a civilized company and don't waste money. This is bad for business in Cypres. A country where my father served for UN to keep the peace. What a waste.

We reserved a 3 day car rental with CarRentals.con - paid fully upfront. They sent us a voucher which included a map with directions the rental agency location, When we arrived at the indicated location there was no rental agency!. 2 hours later after many costly phone calls to CarRentals.con and the rental agency we managed to arrive at the actual rental place - but it was already closed and we could not reach anyone to pick up the car. To add insult to injury when we finally got through to an agent from CarRentals.con they blamed US for being late and refused to issue a refund.

0 stars.
They took our money and sent us to pick up the car at a Thrifty office that was CLOSED. After an hour in the phone maze and on hold, the best they can do is offer an email address to file a complaint.
STAY AWAY!

I attempted to rent a car for my trip to Washington. They could not provide me a confirmation number. I received an email from them, so I know that they have my correct email address. Numerous attempts resolve this have been frustrating. No customer support. AVOID this SCAM!

I called customer service to let them know that my flight was delayed and I landed after the location had already closed at 1am. My flight did not land until after 1:30am. They told me I could not get refunded per their policy. They said it would take over 2 hours to re-book which wasn't an option since it was past 2am at this point and I had a meeting at 7am with a 1+ hr drive from LAX to OC. So I had no other choice but to rent from another rental agency. After trying to resolve with their customer service the following day, they wouldn't even apply the credit to a future reservation and said they would not refund me. I will never use their service again (their support team is based in UK). We will dispute with credit card company and chargeback. Awful company, don't bother. I hope people see this to avoid this mess.

We prepaid our car rental with the site. Due to weather delay we showed up one day late. The company said we invalidated our contract and they would be happy to rent us a car for double the cost. We tried to get our money returned and they happily credited it back with a cancellation fee of the entire amount. So zero refund. Do yourself a favor and don't book through this company.

They wanted 2,000 euros deposit upon picking up a car, 83+ euros upfront for gas and more! After getting online to chat they did nothing. READ THE SMALL PRINT!

My husband rented a car thru your site from charlotte Nc pick up and the day we had to drop off the car the rental place was closed. I asked the rental workers will they be open and are they going to take us back to the airport, their response was yes. I really didn't appreciate the poor communication because of that I had to call for a uber and almost missed my flight because we didn't know what to do as far as the car. I look around and found a lock box for the rental place. The box was not visible to the human eye.

They are trying to charge me an additional $294 for a $205 rental - for "additional fees and taxes' And then trying to say it was Dollar rental car's fault - even sent them a screenshot of the original receipt from Dollar and there is no mention of the $294 additional fees and taxes' NEVER EVER Again a will I use this company - they are CROOKS

All the reviews here are real. Worst company ever. I cancelled the rental 2 days prior to pick up. And they are still charging me for the rental. I have all the emails proving that I'd cancelled. Now they are saying I was a no show. And won't refund me. Don't rent from them. You are paying to have a headache on your vacation

I booked a Ford Mustang sports car at Savannah Airport through this company which uses Thrifty. On collection we were given a 4 cylinder Jeep and told no other cars were available. It turns out they still charged me the same premium rate. On return we filled the car full but we were still invoiced for filling. I tried many times contacting Carrentals and Thrifty but never had a response other than that would look into it. In short, they effectively defrauded me of my money. Avoid them at all costs!

If there was a 0 to give i would get nothing but run around never got email confirmation yet no one can look up reservation with itin #. Will not use

Customer service is not really service. All works well until you need something and then they tell you heaps of lies and manipulations to avoid any responsibility. Their service people probably got a special bonus because they managed to avoid refunding me for a rental I didn't even execute. Beware and don't be misled by the cheaper prices. It becomes very expensive when you need them.
BTW, I didn't even book directly with them - booking.com uses them as a sub-contractor and you will be stuck with their scam without even knowing it.

Do not rent from them. If anything happens that prohibits you getting to the car rental place on time you are screwed. Our plane was two hours late arriving Friday night so we obviously missed the pickup date. They would not refund me the remaining 7 days of the rental. We had to pay another 500 for another car with Budget/avis who was actually open

Do not use carrentals.com for booking! Their cancelation policies are much stricter than the rental car companies. Customer support is useless. You're better off and safer just booking directly on the car rentals company site.

DO NOT RENT ANYTHING THROUGH THIS COMPANY. IT IS A THIRD PARTY COMPANY AND THEY DO NOT DISCLOSE THERE WOULD BE A 500 DOLLAR DEPOSIT ON A PIECE OF $#*! MALIBU. I CANCELLED THE CAR AT THE HERTZ LOCATION. GOT THE RUN AROUND FROM THIS CARRENTALS. COM BULL$#*! COMPANY AND NOW THEY ARE REFUSING TO REFUND MY 114 DOLLARS. SO BASICALLY I GOT CHARGED MONEY FOR SOMETHING I NEVER USED. $#*! YOU CARRENTALS.COM

They charge you for a reservation that won't ever work. Worst exepriance ever.

The lady at the desk could'nt match their records. I had to rent somewhere else. They still charged my card so they had the right number.
They refuse to reimburse you no matter what. You couldn't take possesion of the car even if you showed up but it will be your fault!

Stay away from them you'll only loose money.

This was my first and last time utilizing CarRentals.com

I reserved a Tacoma Truck (or similar) from the Portland International Airport. When I arrived, imagine my surprise to find that there was no record that I had reserved it. Nobody answered the phone number they had listed (called 4 times) and instead received a generic message. I was unable to reach anybody from their corporate office. All I could do on their site was send an email. I received an auto-generated email that I would be "contacted within 24 to 72 hours". This occurred on a Monday. It's now Friday without hearing a peep.

I believe these guys are Maltese mafia working from the UK. Don't give them your credit card details because they will make unauthorised debits. They are almost impossible to contact and when they do respond it is the usual "please provide more information" even though they have everything on file. Seriously hoping that the UK authorities will shut them down as a foreign criminal organisation.

I made a booking, paid ahead of time and when I came to pick up the car, I was told I cannot get a car because I had no credit card. I had to pay extra money to find my way home. I tried emailing and using the chat options but it all fell on deaf ears. If only they could refund even if it's a portion of my money. Customer Rep said I can't be refunded because I chose to pay in advance! So, be careful when you choose to pay in advance for your rental; because you might end up in the same situation. This was such a sad experience and I still regret it.

I rented a car by the airport of Miami. 27th nw it was through carrental.com. When I went 10 people were there complaining. Only 1 person stayed. All left mad and horrible service. I called and they said that they did not offer the money back.
