Not returning deposit is a common theme
Booked car on arrival to Antalya, Turkey in person. Paid for full cover. Supposedly card machine wasn't working properly and was only able to use debit card to pay a security deposit of GBP £571.70. Returned car with no issues and was ensured that will receive the full refund of deposit. Still waiting for deposit now, almost 2 months later. Messaged on Whatsapp multilple times with no response. My friend had the same issue- he finally spoke to someone who said June payment has just been processed and will receive monies in 3 days maximum- this was around 2 weeks ago, and still nothing. Seems to be an ongoing theme with this company. I can see the generic replies on some comments from the company rep with no actual attempt to solve issues. I am trying to get money back via the Chargeback route using the bank. Hopefully can get the deposit back. AVOID at all costs if possible! You may not have issues whilst you are there, but the non-payment of deposit back to the customer seems to be part of their unwritten business plan- surely needs investigating by authority. This is hard-earned money for a lot of people, and frankly despicable practices from this company.
