NEVER USE CARLA RENTAL

NEVER USE CARLA RENTAL! They’re happy to take your money and not provide a service. We were referred to Goldcar and told not to purchase any additional insurance as we had already purchased this through Carla.When we arrived at Goldcar we waited almost 2 hours to speak with a team member who told us they don’t have our car and in order to hire a car without buying additional insurance they needed a $7,000 deposit. If you read seven thousand dollars, you read correctly.We proceeded to not hire a car and were unable to retrieve any funds from Carla rental even though the car we secured was not available therefore no service was provided.Save yourself the trouble and only book through AVIS car hire! Carla Car Hire and Goldcar are absolute scams.

I am extremely disappointed with your…

I am extremely disappointed with your recent response regarding the cancellation of my booking (Confirmation Number: CN863661944436). As I have already mentioned in previous communications, the reservation was cancelled within less than 30 minutes of being made. According to consumer protection laws and fair trading practices, such a cancellation clearly entitles me to a refund, regardless of the standard cancellation policy.I have already filed an official complaint with the Consumer Ombudsman, and if the matter is not resolved promptly, I will proceed with legal action for fraudulent and unethical business practices. Your refusal to refund a payment for a service that was never rendered, and under such circumstances, is completely unacceptable.This is my final attempt to resolve the matter amicably. I urge you to reconsider your position and issue a full refund of €238.60 immediately. Otherwise, I will escalate this case without further notice.

Carla car rental is just a scam !

Carla car rental is just a scam !It was an intermediate to rent a car, they sold me extra insurance not recognised by the car rental company. At the desk they required two times the already paid amount for the insurance.

Fraude

Upon getting the car, I was charged with 50% more than the amount shown at the moment of booking. Even with the proof at hand, it was not possible to change the mistake.Deeply discouraged to use Carla!!

I reserved a car through this app from…

I reserved a car through this app from thifty. When we arrived, they said they would not have a car for 4 hours. We were number 26 on the list and it was 10:00 pm. Thifty closed at 11. I called and did not get anyone on the phone. We rented from another company. I have been trying to get my refund for days. finally, they said they couldn't offer a refund but credit. the credit was lower than the original rental. i will never reserve from here again. this was not my fault, they did not honor their contract commitment. I currently work for a law firm and will file against this company.

Denied Vehicles

Denied Vehicles, No Refund – Carla Kept Over €1,670 Despite Failing to DeliverI’m writing this review to warn non-EU travelers — especially those visiting Italy — about Carla Car Rental’s deceptive booking practices and refusal to refund for services they failed to deliver.🔻 Here’s what happened:I booked three vehicles through Carla for a family trip to Italy:• Rome – Voucher #3400086• Florence – Voucher #3410351• Milan – Voucher #3410371In each case, I paid in advance, received confirmation emails, and presented myself at the pickup location with my valid physical UAE driver’s license in English, which meets international rental standards.To my shock, I was denied all three rentals by Carla’s local partners, who demanded an International Driving Permit (IDP). Yet, Carla’s own booking confirmations only stated that a driver’s license and credit card were needed. No clear or visible warning was shown during the booking or payment stages.Even the “requirement” they now refer to was only mentioned deep in the Terms & Conditions as a recommendation, not a hard legal rule — and it never appeared in any of the main documents they emailed or highlighted at checkout.💶 The result?• 3 bookings denied• Over €1,670 paid• Zero service delivered• Carla offered only $500 in “Carla Cash”, which is essentially store credit I have no use forAfter over a month of back-and-forth communication, Carla has now stated they refuse to refund or compensate beyond their credit.⚠️ Be warned:• Carla hides critical driving requirements behind fine print• They take no responsibility when their partners deny you service• Their “non-refundable” policy applies even if you receive nothing in returnAvoid Carla at all costs unless you’re willing to risk losing your money — and being stranded without a car despite a paid booking.
