Charged $55 to my card a month later with zero explanation

published

I have had a terrible experience with this company. Firstly the lady who initially served my girlfriend and I had a seriously poor attitude about her but it's not something I was originally prepared to review on.

What has got me really fired up is that they are actively storing my credit card details over a month after the rental has passed and they decide to charge me $55 with zero explanation. No email, no phone call, nothing.

I find this extremely unprofessional and it accurately reflects the stance of the business in the attitude of the woman we first spoke with. They don't care about their customers.

Absolute trash.

Rude shuttle driver

published

We booked a car for a day with these guys and the issues started right from when we tried contacting them after we landed - no one would answer the phone they provided in the booking summary. When the shuttle bus finally arrived, we got confronted by a rude, disgruntled driver for not "registering". There were no instructions in the booking about registering at the shuttle bus and it was our first time using this service so we didn't know. We walked out of the bus and told the driver to cancel our reservation to which the driver responded "you can do what you want". Appalling behavior!

We walked straight to Thrifty, was welcomed with a lovely smile and got a new clean car to use for the day!

No Redbook Inspection for Uber...Rubbish

published

This company are on the Uber Marketplace and do not supply a Redbook Inspection for the Uber drivers, they don't tell you that on their website and they don't tell you that until after you have signed with them. I spoke to Uber and they told me that it is a requirement for them to do the inspection for all drivers if they are on the Uber Marketplace.
Wasted 3 days with no pay because of this but they couldn't give a damn. It took them 8 weeks to repay me $60 for the inspection... never dealt with a company as bad as this before!!!

Getting a one star because I can't give them none.

Best experience of renting a car so far

published

I usually go with other providers, but I gave this one a go although it doesn't have a depot at the airport. I love it! The pick up and drop off is quite efficient (they just do it on demand, so basically you don't need to worry about timing- except that you need to be there during their office hours). The car is great and the price is awesome, as a comparison, I got the same car model with another rental company for nearly 3 times the price!! I didn't get extra charges, I will definitely deal with them again next time.

Fraudulent toll charges

published

Rented a car from them, covered it under LinkT. After car was returned, a charge of $38 admin fees was charged on a 70cents toll charge. We obtained a letter from LinkT and LinkT confirmed that we should not be charged, as LinkT covered the car for the date and Eastlink. Upon providing the evidence, Ace rental made a false claim that LinkT doesn't cover Eastlink. This is definitely a false statement, and they refused to make any refund. This is licensed robbery.

We were excessively overcharged. They rejected Ins we got thru internet car company. Because we had previously pd for rental car were unable to back out. AVOID Ace in SJO CR area or you will be sorry.

Will never use again

published

Do not use this company
Absolutely disappointed. The car had several mechanical issues. The brakes were shattering and not working properly. I cleaned the car before returning as was dusty when got it. And now they are saying they found stuff in car and one of seat covers was broken. They have kept our deposit for no reason. When we rang to enquire why they told us they would return deposit then back flip and refuse to return deposit. They advised they took photos of alleged damage but can not provide us with these photos. Extremely disgusted with customer service and handling from start to finish. If deposit is not returned we will be going to consumer affairs and ombudsman.

Never again - will avoid all affiliates

I withheld from leaving a bad review and the situation has only worsened. I contacted Ace Rentals in June regarding their overcharge and issuing the wrong contract. Now in October, having corresponded with three different, slow or non-replying representatives who don't review the attached information I send, I've been quantitatively told to contact someone else. I was overcharged by $106, had additional hassles of toll charges because of the wrong contract and have been the only one persistent in resurrecting the case.

I don't know the company prior to booking but it seems fraudulent and the terrible customer service only makes me more firmly believe that their actions are purposeful.

cheap Price, good customer service

published

I found ace with reasonable price, and good customer support. The shuttle from airport to ace office was quick and very often. The only issue, they did not provide the car that I requested. I requested a economy car such as Yaris, but they gave me a Camry :)

worst car rental experience ever

published

Instructions were to call for a shuttle once landed, they never answer. Tried for over 1 hour and missed an important celebration that I was in Sydney for. In the end it took 2 hrs to get a shuttle and car. There was 2 guys on customer service doing their best but hidden costs and poor communication makes this a terrible business

Went very smooth

published

At ace car rentals the staff are friendly it was cheap to hire the car all transaction went smooth it's a $250 bond payment which they put a hold on your account so make sure the bond money is there.
There is also a shuttle bus service that pick you up from the airport and take you back.
Overall everything went smooth will definitely be hiring my next car from ace car rentals.

I have a quote on one of your cars in Cairns. I noticed a credit card fee of $165 that may apply on my car pickup. My booking number is 346989067. Is that correct and or does that apply to me?

I'm a customer not an ACE CAR rep. You would be better asking ACE in Cairns. I hope you find your answer :-)
