The worst car rental experience I've ever had. Not only were they rude, but after paying the rental fee, they directly charged my card 998 euros as a deductible for insurance, claiming it was not a deposit. They said it would be refunded 12 to 15 business days after confirming the car was fine. I've rented from companies like Avis and Sixt before, and they usually just take a note of your credit card without charging a deposit. This company, however, charges your card immediately and doesn't refund upon return. You could barely find this clause in the rental contract. I wanted to switch rental companies, but they charged me since I didn't provide a PIN immediately. It felt like theft, especially since it was cash. If I weren't abroad and didn't want to ruin my trip, I would've called the police! I even contacted the rental platform's customer service, but only received standard replies saying everything would be fine and they'd report the issue. My question is, what if my credit card expires before I get my refund? Who covers that nearly 1000 euros?
