“Airport pick-up poor”

Written on: 24/05/2013

Visit www.atlaschoice.com

Nobody at airport to meet us. Had to wait approximately 30-40 minutes and make three phone calls to agent. After an early morning flight with little sleep and travelling with my elderly mother this was far from ideal. When we eventually got to the agent it was fairly swift and straight forward. I paid the extra excess reimbursement insurance and would like clarification that if I used your company again and an accident happened this excess is paid back. This is my assumption of this...

“Car Hire - Faro Airport 12th/22nd May 2013.”

Written on: 24/05/2013 by Algarve2013

Visit www.atlaschoice.com

Excellent vehicle, value for money and good service at pick-up. Drop-off was at 11am 22/05/13 and was a little concerned that no member of staff was able to check the car in. Although I was satisfied that the car was completely undamaged and contained sufficient fuel I would have preferred to have handed the keys to a representative rather than leave the car insecure. Also I felt uneasy not having my signed credit card slip deposit returned to me or destroyed in my presence. (read more)

OK Rent a car: 1. At first, the price looks cheap 2. Then they try to sell you more insurance (50-100€) 3. If you don't want more insurance, they want deposit 750€ 4. You have to pay all gasoline- it is very expensive (97,20€) 5. At least, there is a scratch in your car-180€!!! (We did not do that scratch) 6. If you don't agree that scratch, the will still take the money from the deposit!!! That was my first and last time to use OK Rent a car. I can't understand, why you use that... (read more)

The car was provided by a partner of Atlas Choice, Dollar. The car overheated, and since I was not near one of their rental locations, I was asked to take it to the local Chevrolet dealer and have it diagnosed, and later, after much delay, repaired. I lost 4 days of my trip and was out a good deal of money because of this car's problems, and not being provided with another car. Dollar has said that a reimbursement for my expenses will be coming but I am still waiting to see that happen, and... (read more)

Price was reasonable but the local vendor left a lot to be desired. Took 2 calls from the terminal to get the shuttle (20 minutes). the check-in staff was the slowest I have ever seen. One clerk took 20 minutes per transaction. The clerk who assisted me apologized for the delay, saying "well 30 people all at once is difficult". Well there were 8 parties in front of me and with 3 clerks it still took well over an hour to get a car. Car was OK, had good mileage. Returning was much... (read more)

Het is namelijk zo dat als er wat gebeurt je toch betaald en achteraf de rekening indient bij atlaschoice. erg omslachtig maar een goede leer voor de volgende keer. (read more)

The fuel purchase terms and conditions for an Atlas Choice car rental appear to be "well hidden". I recently made a booking to hire car in the USA for a total of just under 12 hours. When making the booking, I selected "no extras/options" of the ones listed by Atlas. On arrival at the airport, the agent at Dollar, the rental company, informed me that I had no option but to buy the "Rent Full / Return Empty" fuel option from Dollar then, due to Dollar's agreement with Atlas Choice.

We nearly didn't get a car at Gatwick. We didn't know we needed the counterfoil of the drivers licence as NI licence cards have a photo on so when we arrived without it we were told we couldn't have a car. What a performance! We had to get our neighbour to search our house for it, then drive to a local shop where she copied it and faxed it. The staff at Enterprise were very courteous and apologetic as we spent nearly 2 hours sorting it. They eventually accepted the copy after calls to PSNI... (read more)

The staff at green motion were helpful and very polite.

Unlike bigger companies, the staff come outside and inspect the car and with your agreement identify any pre-existing marks, bumps or scratches. I found this very reassuring.
