Easyjet/Cartrawler - NEVER AGAIN…
Hired a car through Easyjet thinking it would resolve issues with schedule changes. Milan Malpensa, Surprice, via Easyjet/Cartrawler. Appalling. We arrive in Milan a few mins late, no worries, by the time we got through we were fine. We waited over 40 mins for a shuttle to come to the terminal, despite suggestions there was one every 5 mins, and despite calling Surprice twice. We arrive at the carhire desk to find a huge queue of over 20 different parties. One french couple said they had been waiting over 4.5 hours with no car in sight. Yes, 4.5 hours! We asked the desk staff how long, after the usual gruff non-response, someone suggested, after a further 20 mins or so, that we would need to wait about 2.5 hours. On the basis that we had no confidence whatsoever that we would get a car after those 2.5 hours, we abandoned, went back to the terminal, and were in a car provided by Sixt within 25 mins of making an initial enquiry. And now, yes, you guessed, Easyjet are refusing to give us our money back. They said we refused the car, so they can't refund. I said we didn't refuse the car, it wasn't provided within a reasonable time of the arranged booking. I asked where in their T&C's it says that a 2.5 hour wait to coleect the vehicle is a reasonable time to collect the car, and also how that might constitute a reasonable level of service? I'm still waiting for an answer. The moral of the story? Do not use Easyjet, CarTrawler, Surprice if you are expecting anything approaching a reasonable level of customer service.
