Shameful scam disguised as a car rental – AVOID AT ALL COSTSI rented a car from Wheego at Manchester Airport on February 14, 2026. What I expected to be a simple deposit turned into a fraudulent charge of €1,242.56, taken from my card without any explanation, document, or consent.At the counter, the employee explicitly told me I was simply authorizing a security deposit. I was handed no contract, no breakdown of charges, no explanation whatsoever. I signed blindly on an electronic pad with no screen, no visibility, no receipt, and only received a so-called invoice after returning home, showing an expensive insurance I NEVER accepted, NEVER saw, NEVER discussed.Let’s be very clear:No written consent.No verbal offer of insurance.No documentation provided at pickup.Just a dishonest tactic to charge customers without informing them.This is deceptive, unethical, and possibly illegal.I have filed a formal dispute with my bank and will escalate the case to the relevant financial and consumer authorities in both the UK and France.If you value your time, money and basic transparency, stay far away from Wheego.
