Extremely Disappointing Experience with Rental Service

This rental service has to be one of the most frustrating companies I have encountered. I registered for the express service, but encountered a long line of 20 people at the airport with only one representative available. The express service seems ineffective unless a staff member actually assigns a vehicle, which did not occur. The representative at the counter displayed very poor customer service skills. Additionally, I did not receive the vehicle I had reserved, nor a comparable alternative. Customer support appears to be outsourced, and I am still waiting for a callback from a representative.

A Frustrating Experience

The service at this location was very frustrating. If you use their services, be cautious with the representative, as she does not prioritize customer satisfaction and can negatively affect your experience. The contract contains unexpected fees and a significant frozen deposit. I had a terrible experience, with a large amount held for a rental that cost only a fraction. I will not return, as there are better options available. The representative's approach is detrimental, and many customers were visibly upset.

Thrifty should be called Thiefty

I had a terrible experience with the service at a location in a mall. Avoid dealing with a certain representative, as she is not at all focused on customer satisfaction and will likely ruin your experience. Be cautious when signing the contract, as it includes unexpected fees and a large frozen deposit. I ended up with over 6,000 AED held for a car rental that cost only 390 AED. I will not return, as there are many better options available. The representative in question should consider a different job, as her manner is harmful to customer relations.

Positive experience over the years

I've rented from this company on and off for a couple of years without any issues, always receiving my full deposit back. I take precautions, like documenting the car condition at check-out and check-in. One time, when I had a battery issue, they resolved it quickly within an hour and a half. I'm currently on a long-term lease and have been satisfied so far, although I wish the payment process was more modern. Overall, I hope they maintain their good customer service and competitive prices.

Poor customer service after an incident

I had a very disappointing experience with customer service after my rented vehicle was involved in an accident with another driver who fled the scene. I was charged for repairs, and my attempts to submit police documentation were completely ignored.

High costs for debit card users

The staff at the airport were decent, but it was not communicated that the deposit would be significantly higher for debit card users or that it would take a month to get the deposit back. This should be clearly stated before booking. I won't be using this service again.

Strongly advise against using this service

I paid for my rental online and arrived at the scheduled time, but faced numerous issues. They claimed not to have my booking and the representative was rude, shifting blame to their website. When the car finally arrived, they demanded a physical card for the deposit, which I didn't have. The representative was unhelpful, and I ended up waiting two hours without receiving the car I had already paid for. Their customer service is unacceptable, and I’m still waiting for a refund.

Terrible customer service experience

I have a long-term lease with this company, and the customer service has been appalling. I've filed a significant complaint regarding overcharges and poor repairs, with constant miscommunications. They outsource repairs without proper checks, leading to repeated issues with my vehicle. After multiple visits for repairs, my concerns remain unaddressed, and the leasing manager isn't returning my calls.

Avoid this company!

This has been a frustrating experience. The confirmation email was misleading, and after paying a deposit, I was told it would take weeks to refund. Instead, they kept trying to charge my card repeatedly. I blocked the card and am now left uncertain about what will happen next. I strongly advise steering clear of this company.

Do not engage with this company

I was charged a deposit that was not disclosed prior to getting the car. The vehicle I received was not what I expected, and they have been unresponsive regarding my deposit and additional fines. This company is a scam, and I would not recommend anyone use their services.
