I could not get my $50 returned to me.

published

Atlas charged me $50 for a Victorian road toll paid through linkt. I never received my refund from Atlas even after several email requests. I would still like to receive my refund.

Terrible car rental experience

published

I made a booking but contacted them the morning of pickup and was told the company was in liquidation! I had to make alternative arrangements very quickly. They offered no alternative arrangements and they did not inform me beforehand - there was no warning. I see they seem to be still trading so will need to take this to consumer affairs.

Booked a car for our Christmas holidays in QLD 6 months in advance only to land at the airport, call them to come pick us up and find out they had gone out of business. Had to pay top dollar finding another rental car during Christmas holiday time. A-holes!!!!

DO NoT use this company ! They took my AUD 4000

published

DO NOT use this company, it s a big scammer ! They took my 4000 AUD as the car hit by a kangaroo, but then they refused to give me repair invoice with breakdowns of the labour and parts. I am unable to claim it from my 3rd insurance company ! I sent numerous emails and phonecalls, no one seems want to care ! I left multiple voice messages and asked them to call back or just send me a repair invoice ! The receptionist just threw me like a ball from different departments to another. I doubt if they have truly taken the vehicle to repairs I think they judt want the 4000 dollars instead, thats why they keep avoiding my emails and calls. I am going to ACCC and fair trade NSW to report this !

Gone Bust! A pack of rats!!!

published

Booked over 6 months ago and when I checked just a couple of weeks before our travel was told that they have gone bust and cant rent us a car, They know ages ago but didnt e-mail customers. Has cost us additional $800 to rent another car due to short leadtime and peak season. Should have taken heed of other poor reviews. I called the CEO and found he no longer was with the company. I wonder why???!!!

Have been waiting 14 months for a refund

published

We hired a car with a car seat and no car seat was available so had to pay for another company to provide at our own cost. was told we could be refunded original cost and any difference in new cost to hire seat would be covered. That was October 2018 and still waiting on response. In over 12 months I have only received 2 responses to my emails. Absolute joke!!

No oil in car, no refund for $30 worth of oil either!

published

Worst car rental company ever. Stay away from this one. They don't bother servicing their fleet. I collected my car at end of business hours then noted too late that the oil light was on. When I checked, there was no oil in the car! Were they hoping I'd drive it anyway and blow up the engine ?? So I didn't drive it until morning when I could replace the oil at a cost of $30. A month later, still no refund !!! I won'r be back Atlas. Unethical business.

Car not road worthy

published

My family rented a Toyota camry from Atlas whilst in Melbourne. Had scratches, dents and an orange liquid stain on the front passenger side. Front tyre burst and Roadside assist had to come and fix it. Mechanic said that the other tyres were not road worthy. I had my kids in that car and it had been raining. We nearly missed our flight back and they didn't care or offer any help. Be really careful. Rego- 1ky 2bu is not safe

The initial savings are not worth the headaches, extra after charges and poor customer service

published

Long time from pick up to driving off with vehicle and from arrival at drop of to return to airport. Multiple after charges and took over 3 months to advise no refund despite being result of their error. Even advised by overseas call center (atlas customer care) that they get a lot of complaints about company and hard to get follow up.
Low price rental and vehicle OK but terrible delays and service.

Great service with minor problem.

published

Unfortunately, when attempting to book on the net, I inadvertantly ordered two cars. I wasn't aware of this until picking up my car. Now I need to contact Atlas to recover the additional deposit.

Unprofessionally Run Outfit

published

It started with us having to wait close to an hour at Tullamarine Airport for the free shuttle to their premises. This place seems to run on smell of an oily rag and when trying to contact it looks as if you get through to a call centre overseas. After being picked up we found out that we couldn't pay cash. Only credit card. It would have been nice had we been informed of this when booking. Finally when they handed the keys over to us we found a full beer bottle along with an empty one on the floor of the car. Great work Atlas!! I will never use these people again

cheap rates with a great car.
took quite a while to be picked up from the airport and took quite a while to finalise car check - busy staff, maybe a few more for busy times would help.

Like you Atlas has taken my money and continues to take it periodically without my prior knowledge and absolutely no indication of why they have taken it. They just deduct $55 (twice) from my account for a $3 toll that I had already paid. They claim it's an administration fee for forwarding a letter I have never even received. I am also working on a complaint to the ACCC. If anyone is interested in a class action against Atlas's then please let me know.

Got my security deposit back. Went to our bank who suggested that we go to the one near us .We did and after showing them the bank papers, they couldn't be more helpful. Got my security deposit back within 5 days. That was a suprise but a good one. Hope this helps you.
