Wisecars

I rented a luxury car and they gave me a fiat. I prepaid because that was the only options. And they wouldn't refund me the difference or anything

I would like to share my unfortunate experience with this farce of a service. I am autistic and not very good at these kinds of things but needed a way to get around while I visited my daughter in Phoenix. I was drawn in by the too-good-to-be-true pricing and happily paid for a reservation with Fox rent a car through the wisecars site. I intended to use a visa debit with line of credit at pickup since it said credit only and those are typically accepted as such.

Fox was awful…I tried to call them 3 times before they closed as my flight was arriving near the time they shut down at 12:30am. They never bothered to answer and nobody was at the desk when I arrived just moments late. I patiently waited until they were to open at 4am and nobody showed up. About 15 minutes later I called wisecars who were unable to help or contact anyone from Fox including the location manager. Eventually at 4:25 I finally found an agent wandering the parking garage and attempted to retrieve my reservation. The agent was impatient and rudely threw the debit card back at me without even asking if it had line of credit and unkindly told me they were unable to help. I was now stuck in Phoenix with no way around and a large part of my funds tied up. All in I was up for 40 hours dealing with this thanks to uncaring companies who view people only as numbers.

I contacted wisecars and told them of the situation. They contacted Fox who lied about my calls and claims. I showed wisecars photo evidence to back up my claims. They were unwilling to offer reasonable satisfaction and hid behind a dubious justification in their terms that only worked if they ignored my claims about how Fox handled the situation. They ignored my evidence and needs and stole from a struggling family by hiding behind "procedure" rather than having true consideration for a situation.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! AT THE VERY LEAST GO DIRECT AND SHOW THEM A SCREENSHOT OF WISECARS PRICE…THEY WILL MOST LIKELY MEET OR EVEN BEAT IT TO KEEP THE MONEY THAT WOULD OTHERWISE GO TO WISECARS IN FEES.

Vorsicht!
Wir haben eine Anzahlung für die Reservierung eines Mietwagens in Costa Rica gezahlt. Unser Flug wurde nach hinten geschoben, ich war in der Annahme, dass der Vermieter dies registriert, da ich die Flugnummer angegeben habe. Doch falsch. Ich hätte die geänderte Zeit manuell angeben müssen! So waren wir über zwei Stunden zu spät zur Abholung und unser Auto war weg, kein Ersatz vorhanden, Buchung vor Ort gecancelt! Man sollte meinen, die 180 Euro Vorauszahlung wären damit auch gecancelt. Doch weit gefehlt. Diese wurden einbehalten von wisecars und nicht erstattet. Ich Frage mich für welche Leistung?!? Weder haben wir durch die Vorauszahlung eine verbindliche Buchung noch haben wir Hilfe oder Ersatz bekommen. Mehrfach ärgerlich. Würde es nicht empfehlen.
