Do not use this company – My son and his friend hired a car with Alamo in the UK through this company. The booking was accepted, with an age of 21 given for the driver, and a deposit taken. Turned up to pick the car up but were refused as non of the major car rental companies in the UK will hire to somebody of 21 (anyone between the ages of 22 and 25 are also heavily… Read more
loaded with surcharges which they don't tell you about either). Webcarhire absolutely refused to refund the deposit. Disgraceful and misleading don't touch them with a barge pole go direct or you may be sorely disappointed.
Do not use webcarhire.com – After numerous communication with '[name removed]' a Webcarhire sales person, he assured me that insurance was included with my booking with Dollar Hire car in the USA. After making my booking online through webcarhire, I used my credit card to pay the deposit of $112. On picking up my car in the USA from Dollar, the sales person questioned why I… Read more
paid $112 deposit as Dollar do not take a deposit. It seems that webcarhire took $112 as a "deposit" for booking through their site!!!! Also - I had to pay an extra $69 for insurance as it wasn’t included!!! BAD customer service from [name removed] when I emailed and queried the above. Do not book through webcarhire.Com - book direct as you will save money.
Overcharged on the "deposit". Customer service assured me the price included insurance but once I picked up the car, it didn't.
Misleading for younger drivers – Booked a car with Hertz in the UK. They allowed me to book a class I wasn't valid for due to age. Also did not include surcharges due to age in the quote for the booking. Seriously disappointed with webcarhire as the Hertz website would have prevented this from happening. I was just lucky that the Hertz I went to had a car I was able to drive… Read more
available for me to take. Otherwise I would have been in serious trouble with no transport. Easy to use. Always get you in the terms and conditions
Another satisfied repeat customer – I have now used webcarhire on many occasions since i first came across their website back in 2003 but have never bothered to write a review. however my recent experience warrants recounting. i normally hire a small car but in this latest instance my wife and i headed north and needed a 4wd. i did not realise webcarhire do 4wd but soon found out… Read more
after exasperation when trying to book online direct with some of the major rental companies. everywhere i went nothing was available so as last resort i rang webcarhire and spoke to a nice guy, [name removed] who helped me enormously in finding a car for me. the price quoted was very competitive and i just liked the way that he refused to give up on me even though he had trouble at first locating the vehicle for me. i will definitely continue to have webcarhire as my choice for finding reasonably priced and reliable cars when i travel both for business and pleasure. Can do attitude when caught in a fix! always reliable.
Terrible – Would never book with these people again. Rude and arrogant and even had the guts to make changes to the original agreement and then send it back to me as 'their' proof that I was warned about using a debit card. They were cheap at first They fail to disclosed all details to you. I was slogged an extra 170 Euros due to paying with a Visa Debit… Read more
card rather than a credit card. When I sent an email about this to the company after I got back from my holiday they forged a copy of the original agreement and included the details they should have included when I first booked the car.
Excellent – Very impressed. Love the fact that I have to pay a percentage fee and then the rest at the counter. Just remember, if you buy the Webcarhire insurance, don't let the car company rep try and sell you their more expensive option! I have been a regular user of Webcarhire since they appeared on the scene in the early 90's. Excellent service - they… Read more
actually have people who answer the phone! They email you all confirmation details including the car companies name and branch address details, plus their booking confirmation number. Plus the rates are great (I checked!) and you can find them in just about any country!
Excellent – Just very good service, very straight forward in the information provided and simple in the booking process. For sure an option for the future! I found out about webcarhire froma friend and I tested them a month ago. I actually booked a small car in Italy where I went for business. The response was very fast and I think that the rate deal that I… Read more
got was excellent, from the short study I undertook. The service before the booking (papers, information etc) was impressing and everything turned to be very well organised. I received the car in my pick up point and after finishing my business i returned it in the predefined point. The car was new, therefore in an axcellent condition and I felt really comfortable. Before booking a car again I will certainly look seriously to book again with them. Not at all.
OK – I stumbled upon WebCarHire via a yahoo search and used it to book a car for a recent short trip i did. Whilst the booked was straight forward and my confirmation was done quickly i later went directly to the Avis website to compare prices only to be shocked when i found out they were cheaper. I shouldnt have relied on the WebCarHire statement of… Read more
them being cheaper. Its easy to get onto the internet and book your car hire quickly and without too much fuss. Large range of companies nad a larger range of car / 4 wheel drives / mini buses available for hire. Im not sure the rates offered are as good as thier promos say they are as i seemed to pay more than if i had caleld the hire company directly.
