Arnaque à la rayure

On the morning of March 15th, I found the car wouldn't start. The rental company came to the rescue and insisted it was my fault for forgetting to turn off the lights (though I was sure everything was off). Miraculously, the battery went flat again at 3 PM on March 16th, almost making me miss my flight. In frustration, I abandoned the car and left. They then blamed me again, saying the driving time was too short to charge the battery. I said I didn't leave the car parked for an extended period. After the flight, I discovered unexpected charges on my credit card: 160 euros and 460 euros. Even though I had full insurance, their refusal to acknowledge the battery issue was infuriating. This is what you get for renting a car for 50 RMB per day from this company. The rental platform didn't promptly contact the rental company to resolve the issue; I had to follow up myself. I wanted to ask what would have happened if this issue occurred when driving to a cliffside two days earlier.

Car was supplied with a not quite full tank of fuel. Reception desk staff did not seem interested in helping as the staff who hand over cars appeared to be on a break. Peugot 3008 supplied was in good condition but not convinced this could be classified as a full size estate.

Was forced to pay extra at pick up as they wouldn’t accept insurance paid for at booking. Said it wasn’t valid as it wasn’t their own insurance. (Actually didn’t pay and took the risk). Then wouldn’t accept my bank card so had to add my husband as a driver to use his card which cost more. None of this made clear at time of booking. Man was incredibly unhelpful.

Was advised to go to Easy Rent on first floor no mention of Surprice at all. Not one panel of the car clear of scratches and bumps. Warning light wouldn’t go off was told it was tyre pressure and was advised that it’s ok when they kicked the wheel. Dreadful rattling noises.

All right

First class service and no complaints other than no explanation given about setting the clock on the windscreen when parking - cost me a parking ticket!!
