Unexpected charges to the credit card
I had rented Toyota cars with KINTO twice. It will be no more. During both bookings the KINTO application did not work smoothly. Especially in remote places where all of the sudden I was left with message “can’t unlock the car” and the only key to the car was my phone with the application that did not work. The hassle of rebooting the phone, to (hopefully) get the application back to work, the uncertainty created by the intermittent application error were part of my holiday experience. Not very enjoyable to say the least. However, the main reason why I am resigning from my KINTO membership are sudden unexplained charges to my credit card long after the bookings. For my first booking I was charged an excess cleaning fee of $95 one months after returning the car. One months after the booking! Why wouldn’t someone contact me earlier if really the car was left dirty? Before returning the car, I cleaned and vacuumed it, but there was no one on the ground to check on it. There was also $25 administration fee, that was not explained to me. My second booking ended two weeks ago, and although I had, as previously, carefully cleaned and vacuumed the car I am still not certain what hidden charges KINTO has in store for me this time.
