Oxford to London

Very dissatisfied. The provided car did not match the booked model. I booked a Sharan, but got a Citroen Picasso C4 instead. They claimed it was the same class, but their attitude was irresponsible. It took five hours of negotiation at pickup, delaying our trip.

This was the worst experience I've ever had. I kept getting harassed by the receptionists of Indian and Pakistani origin, while the car rental service kept shirking responsibilities. 1. They aggressively pushed for insurance, and when I declined, they started finding excuses. 2. They demanded my return flight ticket. When I showed them my itinerary from the airline, they claimed they couldn't read Chinese and refused service without a return ticket. When I called the rental service, they said they couldn’t resolve it. I had to barge into their manager's office, and only then their attitude changed and they processed my rental. 3. They claimed my Visa chip card wouldn’t work, and said if I used a magnetic stripe card, I’d need to buy full insurance, stating that the insurance from the rental service wasn't valid. When I called the service again, they still couldn't resolve it and instead suggested I contact the bank and mentioned we should have opted for a bigger rental company, implying they don't guarantee smaller ones. I had to barge into their manager's office again to get the issue resolved. Meanwhile, others in my group at a different counter had no issues. What problems can the rental service actually solve?

High pre-authorization amount, and won't allow the use of multiple credit cards

I like that they excepted my annual rental car insurance plan without guestion and without trying to sell me more!

Worst ever service experience
