The worst car rental proxy company I ever met

Wisecars misrepresented their service and then blamed the customer. Their official voucher stated pickup was available until 23:00, with a paid out-of-hours extension until 00:00. It contained no notice of reduced holiday hours on January 1st. In reality, the location closed at 21:00. Relying on Wisecars’ own documentation, I arrived as instructed and was unable to collect the car. Afterward, Wisecars retroactively invented rules that directly contradicted their voucher, failed to explain the discrepancy, and falsely marked the booking as a “no-show” to deny a refund. Despite clear written evidence of their error, they attempted to shift responsibility onto me. I disputed the charge with my bank and won due to service misrepresentation. To make matters worse, their so-called “urgent support” routes customers to premium-rate phone numbers costing over €1 per minute. Even their public replies continue to deny facts contradicted by their own documents. Poor transparency, zero accountability, and dishonest post-incident handling. Avoid this company.

Refunded price difference

I really appreciated how easy it was to get the lower price on my rental when rates dropped after I had previously prepaid for a car. I called, and it was taken care of promptly. It would be nice to do this online, but this was fine too. Thanks!

(but I will say that the questions that I was forced to answer on THIS site, after I wrote this review, made no sense for ratings ... e.g."rate your companion" - what does that even mean??? So I came back to edit this review to mention that. Very irrelevant questions in terms of what I was giving feedback on... oh well.)

Top Notch Service

I was concerned I would not receive my voucher in time for my trip but the "wisecars" rep, was so helpful in by sending my voucher earlier and relieving my concerns.

For my next trip I will be sure to use "wisecars" once again.

Cost Three Times More Than Tbe Voucher

Advantage could not provide the chosen car.

Did not recognise the agreed deal / voucher (£400)

Attempted to upscale every riding service. I refused despite threats I would be fined by Advantage as well as Orange County FL if I ran tolls.

Refused my bank cards so the deal was off.

Made me think I couldn’t hire a car.

Then suddenly then decided to accept my bank cards.

The final price was 3x the original £400z

Had to pay £1250 for a car.

I was stuck in Orlando & had no choice

Restricted to driving in Florida - had plans to go New Orleans & Georgia so screwed my vacation

big time.

Emailed wisecars - no response

Called Advantage - don’t pick up

Made a complaint on my return - didn’t want it to ruin my vacation

It did ruin the vacation

It’s now January , 3 months later & Wisecar deny any wrong doing, can’t see a problem advertising a car for £400 & it gets upped to £1200

Still going back n forth & wisecar just regurgitate the same statement.

Won’t pick up a phone

It’s all email back n forth - waiting 3 weeks for a response

Will now go to ombudsman because this company see nothing wrong selling a car hire for 400 which trebled at the counter.

My previous review has been removed off Trip Advisor by Wisecar

I would not recommend anybody to use this company. All reviews on various sites reflect what I experienced.

Lull you in with a good price then reality is it’s 3xs more than the voucher.

Advantage agent said they do t do vouchers & said she had no clue what a voucher was. Even showed her the voucher on my phone. A 2nd agent shook his head supporting his coworker.

An extra $350 for a second driver - which I didn’t do.

Unbelievable but my close friend had the exact same experience but was able to tear up the agreement & have a family member come get her.

I was solo at the time so this was not possible

I did not budget for £1200 car hire - I was down £800 for my vacation from the onset.

Have not recognised this is false advertising or offered any money.

All reviews say the same

Reviews on wisecar site are all positive .

Booking & finding a deal was easy.

But WISECARdid not honour the booking

Do not use - I was stuck in Orlando. AdvantFe didn’t care & wisecar didn’t & don’t care .

62 year old solo traveller & Wisecar do t pick up their phone & Advantage didn’t give a damn.

Too many dissatisfied customers.

Hi,

This the usual standard response I keep receiving.

Wisecar did not state the voucher was only PART PAYMENT ( a third) of the full hire charge.

You cannot hire a car , drive a car without insurance. Wisecar prices do not reflect insurance.

Wisecar provides a voucher knowing the customer is going to get slammed as a walk in paying for insurance at a ridiculous price.

Wisecar did you know I & other customers paid £800 for car insurance for a few weeks

Over £1200 for a car hire. ?

Wisecar told me I I should have carried my U.K. insurance if I didn’t want to pay £800 car insurance. ????

Any U.K. insurers will not insure in USA

USA do not accept U.K. insurers

So that was poor advice.

What a sham, very misleading & I paid 3x over the advertised price. How do you explain that.

Not emails you sent me said ‘

Hey this price is without car insurance so expect a BIG hike in price.when you get there.

Or highlighted’ You can’t drive out of State !!!

I would have gone for a more expensive deal with insurance included and let me drive to other states. !!!!

They rely on you being stranded & forced to accept the hike in price.

If possible don’t accept & go elsewhere. I was unfortunately stranded in Florida alone.

Shame on Wisecar screwing money out of its customers

Many, many reviews reflect my experience, all saying the final cost was over 3x the agreed deal.

You have not offered any kind of compensation & I will continue to advise customers to be aware of Wisecar,

I am still waiting for Wisecar to respond to my last email .

Dreadful company

DicksonCarlson

How would we find out if there is a surcharge for a second driver, and because our ages are 65 and 67? The FAQ only says "may" and the response impacts whether to book here, or through another site where we know we will not be charged extra?

Why is the phone line immediately disconnects me or busy signal or an outgoing message that tells me to go to the website?

When I do that, I am still not able to talk to anyone. Can anyone help?
