I rent a car via web site. Yesterday when I arrived, they delivered wrong car and it was not from company Eren Car Rental as their local contact. Besides, delivery was not at airport. They picked me and brought to their office about 3 km far from airport. And when I'll bring back, I have to go there again but not the airport. While I was making booking, specially I asked big car and to delivery and returning to airport. I wrote complain but they answered as "The rental is not necessarily linked to a specific vehicle (make, model, colour, equipment, etc.), but to a group of vehicles with similar technical characteristics. The vehicle shown in the Confirmation Voucher may be substituted for a similar vehicle depending on the fleet available at the local office."
Totally unsatisfied. I book a car for Paphos. By pick up the car they want deposit 1000€. I had no problem with it and I want to pay it with my debit cards. It was not accepted. Only credit card was possible. I dont have credit card, but my co-driver had credit card. We want to pay deposit from his card and change the driver if necessary. It was not possible. They want extra fee for it 130€ (ad kind of insurance). Booking of the car was 180€. Car Jet was not accomodating. They want only additional money. I can not recomend it.

This is a basic Switch and Bait site where they say they will offer the car for X and once you've wasted your time and money getting there, they say the car is not available and offer you a more expensive one. They are not the company that rents the car, they are a terrible middle men service that underdelivers. After 2 hours they batantly just started ignoring me.

I did not receive the rented and paid car. Customer service does not respond to any messages or inquiries. It follows that the company is focused on cheating its customers, so if you have too much money and want to lose it, rent a car at Car Jet. Giving one star because there is no way to give a negative rating. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND!
Tip for consumers:
Absolutely not recommend!!!

We arrived in Greece end of July, and our flight had a delay because of a thunderstorm. We arrived there only to find out that our car was cancelled. The local car vendor told as to call CarJet and ask them for help. We called CarJet, and they told us that our money is with the local vendor, and they can't do anything about it. Spoke to the local vendor again - these guys claimed they received nothing. CarJet customer support basically told us that they can't offer any other car (even though ours must have been right there in the parking lot), and that they have no money to refund us. Absolutely horrible experience from a predatoy company that couldn't care less about its customers. Never again.

This company placed me with a ripoff care hire company, del Paso, who actually refused me with car hire as they took a personal dislike to me for challenging their ripoff tactics
Carjet are completely uncontactable. They do not answer any support phone lines and do not respond to any emails and will not return the 542 euros paid in good faith for car hire. I don't know how that they seem to think they should keep the money for themselves. I have attempted a chargeback but they hide behind paperwork stating that I did not meet their contract requirements. Complete rubbish, hire was declined by the car hire company on the grounds of being mardy and upset for being challenged about trying to charge me another 300 euros for insurances I didn't need.
If anyone has had any joy in getting a refund please advise?
Tip for consumers:
So not use carjet.com nor Del Paso car hire by any means especially if you're a UK license holder.

I tried to book a car got a reference number but no confirmation. Rang them the next day and they said they'd resend me the confirmation, never did. At the car pick up they had no reservation from me s rang catjet again and they said I never had a booking, even though they charged me, she was very rude and said they'd refund me. Its been over a month of me going back and forth with them on emails and call and still no refund! Every time they replied to me they gave me a different excuse as to why they haven't refunded me. First they told me they had refunded it, which they hadn't, then they told me they had to check with the car company to check weather I picked the car up, even though they told me they didn't confirm my booking, the car place had no reservation for me then told me again it had been refunded. This car company is useless and the people are so rude. Its almost 2 months later and I still don't have my refund

I booked a car through CarJet who used Green Motion. I paid my fee to CarJet, went to collect my rental and the representative in Green Motion claimed that my international Visa Credit Card was a too up card and refused to give me the car. His solution was I pay an extra £45 for them to take my debit card! Needless to say I was not willing to triple the rental cost, especially when I don't even own a top up card and was presenting payment fully in line with their T&Cs. CarJet refused to refund my money claiming that I was lying about the card even tho I sent proof that it is a credit card I have. Avoid CarJet AND Green Motion, they are scammers and con artists who take your money without shame and all you get in return is rudeness and arrogance.

We arranged car hire from Crete Airport in June 2022. When we arrived the offices were closed and none of the phone numbers provided were answered. We have provided Carjet with all the information they have requested, including screen-shots of all the unanswered phone calls. Despite requesting the return of our deposit Carjet are now ignoring all emails. It is now the end of September and still they have not returned our money. DO NOT USE CARJET - whilst the booking appears easy, and the charges reasonable - the company is a scam and you are better off paying a bit more and receiving a good service. Carjet does not provide any service - they just take your money.
Tip for consumers:
We wish we had read Carjet reviews before booking.

Don't waste your money and time with them!
They will take your money but no service in return at all
They took all the booking money (700€) but i didn't get any car when I arrived to the car rental office
Also I didn't get any refund at all
No answer from customer service on phone or email in days
And if you get any answer it will be rude and disrespect to the client
Just don't deal with them at all!

My British airways American Express card wasn't accepted but there wasn't another way like other rental companies offer and they did not mention in there paperwork that especially AMEX wouldn't be accepted and I had never problems before. So I did not get the car and did not get any kind of refund. Thats disgusting.

CarJet / ACE / Go Iceland Keflavik Rental Cars charged 23 € more from VISA than was supposed to be in July 2023. Also the car was supposed to be Nissan Qashqai with Air Conditioning or similar according to same announcement. This did not happening neither, the car was Dacia with no Air Condition. I made a reclamation and demanded returning the overcharged VISA amount and a small refund of 50 € of missing Air Conditioning. They refused of both. What can I do from my home in Finland? At least avoid these firms in future.

These guys left us without car at the Tangier's airport, at midnight and with small children. Then refused to return our money. Highly unreliable!
We were two families with children traveling to Morocco. We had a reservation of 2 mid-sized cars; we made the advance payment and we got several confirmation mails. At the airport there was only one car and it was Hundai I10 - we wouldn't be able to fit into it with the children and all the luggage.
I was writing mails to CarJet for months wanting them to return our money. The only answer was that they need more time to clarify the case. They are clarifying it for 4 months up to now. So they actually refused to return the money, without saying anything.

I booked a car in Sweden using Carjet for the 27-Jun-2023. The car was a big car - Volvo XC-90 (Voucher number: CJT*******).
I paid in advance and got the voucher.
Unfortunately, when I reached to the Hertz counter to pick up my car,
They told me that Carjet booked for me a car in a lower class.
Carjet booked a car in the category of Volvo XC-60 while my booking and paid voucher were for Volvo XC-90.
Since Hertz didn't have any car available in the category of XC-90,
I was forced to take the XC-60.
The XC-60 was small for our family needs.
Therefore, on the beginning of July, when I returned to my country, I called Carjet by phone and sent them many e-mails in which I asked them to refund me the amount I paid them.
That is for a compensation for the trouble they made with the mistaken booking.
Till today, for almost 2 months I got no answers and no refund.
This is the worst car renting broker.
Don't buy from them!

In the internet they tell you cheap prices! And only after your booking is done and you paid they send you an email with all the "information " and you have to pay 1000€ deposit and if you want to go to another country let's say Austria it's 45€ for crossing the borders (VIGNETTES NOT INCLUDED!) Totally disappointed and they ruined my trip! Also the employee was extremely rude and a bad attitude!

Horrible service.
They take your money (the full amount for the car rental + you can pay WITHOUT creditcard) with the online reservation and when you come at the desk from the airport they refuse to give you the car in case you have no credit card.
I can follow this mindset, but in this case it would be appropriate to refund the money you paid upfront. Not everybody has a credit card.
Pure extortion!
Customer 'service' zero. No possibility for decent contact via email or telephone. They only way is their way and they absolutely do not treat clients as they should!

Rented a car for my trip in Turkey, they sold me insurance and when I was collecting the the third party who owned the car told me that the insurance that I bought from carjet is not valid and rhat I have to pay for insurance Again.
When I came back from my trip I noticed that I was charged twice. I tried to contact the third party car rental but they wouldn't answer my calls.
I called Carjet and told them that I was charged 2 times and emailed them my credit card statement. It's 2 moths now and I still haven't received my €1000 that I was charged extra.

I made reservation and paid for it (including insurance) more than 14 days before. When I noticed, that I incorrectly filled in my personal data I rather immediately canceled reservation because in conditions was stated that in case of incident, all personal details must be 100% correct otherwise there will be no payment from insurance company. I did new reservation including payment again.
1th reservation - I never recieved money back.
2th reservation - car was prepared and relatively ok.
But total price was because of 1th reservation 2 times higher in total. I tried to speak with them, I wrote them - no reaction...
NOT AGAIN...

This is reference with my trip to Istanbul on 30.07.2023 and i have booked a car through them. It was peak season and car rental were quite high and this is where the game started.
I went to the GREEN MOTION RENT A CAR and they said my credit card doesnt work. The reason of all the lies was because they wanted to rent at high price to the walk in customers. The same credit i have used during all my 7 days on stay in Istanbul and it worked but how come it didnt work at the rental car company. Cherry on the top, carjet refused to refund me the amount as well. Avoid the CARJET.COM SCAM

Rented a sedan car for 12 days and paid for in advance. CarJet does not own a fleet but get local renters with cheap and hazardous cars. When I picked up the car they asked for additional insurance, despite I already bought a fully comprehensive and paid for while renting from CarJet. Their local renter SurPrice at Dalaman Airport charged over $700 as a deposit (supposed to be blocking but fully charged). Also charged for age (65+) while Carjet did not mention at the time of renting the car. The lousy local SurPrice gave a car with 102,000+ on the clock and front bold tires. Awful local renter, awful car, misleading and greedy CarJet. Avoid CarJet and SurPrice at any cost even they offer you a free rental!

I am not after a refund. I share this so others do not fall into the same misleading website and advertisement of CarJet

Charged extra insurance when I had already paid! SIXT rental said CarJet had not sold the right cover, tried to complain to CarJet but surprise surprise there is nowhere on line to complain! SIXT car Rental said CarJet have no right to sell insurance as they don't own vehicles!? A complete rip off and a total nightmare after 18 hours of travelling!
