Scam! Paid twice and ruined our holiday!
Booked using Drivalia via EasyJet website and payed twice - ruined our holiday! Warning to all Customers if you book a car via the EasyJet and Drivalia car rental in Italy! We were left stranded in a Sardinian airport (Olbia)and charged for 2 weeks car rental for a vehicle we were not given. The easyJet self-checkin system makes errors when making car reservation after check in. The system doesn’t allow you to choose the time for car pick up on arrival and instead uses English time of flight arrival. Therefore meaning, you will always miss your pick up time and due to Drivalia’s terms and conditions and consequently lose your booking and money paid. Neither Drivalia nor EasyJet have a grace period for long queue, luggage pick up, time difference between countries or even waiting in line to pick the keys to your car. After several calls and conversation on the phone with customer service, we were left in the night, in the heat, pregnant and no place to stay overnight in a foreign country. Money for the car booking for 2 weeks were taken from our account and we needed to occur additional expenses for taxis and accommodation to get through the night. The Easyjet customer service (car rental) team admitted that it system error and we should make a complaint to get money back. However, this was just to get rid of us… Then we received message with apologies, saying that we can’t get refund as we didn’t pick up the car on time and there is nothing more that can be done. The flight number was included in the booking and both companies knew what time we will be arriving but none one checks for system errors. Neither EasyJet nor Drivaila customer service helped us to resolve any of those problems. Therefore, we are asking for a compensation from EasyJet and changes to be made in the system for the future to avoid situations to happen again.
