Toyota Corolla
September 25, 2019

Pros: Near to our hotel.

Cons: Trouble accepting our debit card at desk. Was hanging around for two hours trying to sort this. Eventually paid in full by debit card only to have to wait several weeks for a refund of debit on our return Home. Only refunded part of money paid and still battling to try to unravel this and get the money back we are owed. I would be very apprehensive about hiring a car in SA again.

Pros: NIL

Cons: The consultant was not friendly at all. He processed my v=credit card for the rental for the day and immediately after that processed the card for the deposit to be held. The card declined because of the use of the card within seconds at the same place. He loudly announced that my card declined - nice one! After which he referred to me and my staff member waiting for the vehicle as "these guys". not customers. Not professional. It took from the Tuesday to the Friday to release the deposit.
