Enterprise Switzerland car hire damage dispute
I hired a car in June from Enterprise in Basel airport (Swiss side). It was booked via Booking.com and their Rentalcars.com group. We checked the car carefully on pickup and took photos all around it as it had a number fo dents and scratches already. The holiday and car hire went well, and we returned it on schedule to…

SWISS AIR TERRIBLE - HELP
In February we booked 3 return flight from the UK to the Phillipines with Swiss Air. One started in Birmingham and 2 in London so there were 2 separate bookings. Quite soon after booking one of the flights legs was cancelled which meant an additional 8 hours in Zurich Airport. Annoying but as frequent flyers we know these…

Credit card for points against flights?
Hi, We’re planning a big holiday for in 2 years time but not package so we can book our own flights. As there are 5 of us, we’ll be looking at around £5000 for just the flights so looking to find ways we can save money. Are there any credit cards which give points against flights? I’m thinking we could move all our monthly…

Booked wrong dates on non refundable flight
Last night I was booking a flight for my partner and kids to Turkey through Sun Express (via trip.com). The flights came up at £600 but the prices kept on changing while I was putting our details in, I rushed through and didn’t check the rest of the details and ended up paying around £1,000 on credit card (Halifax). The…

Better to check in closer to flight date?
I read some while ago that it's safer to check in close to your flight date, rather than as soon as check in opens. This is because an airline refused to refund a passenger for their flight after they became ill and couldn't fly - the airline said that having checked in, they had entered a contract to take the flight. Last…

Spusu Mobile. Customer Service Email no response
Have several Spusu sims in the family. 18 months ago when I took these out their customer service by email was very good, usually sorting problems same day. I've been trying to get a response by email, every day for 6 days and absolutely nothing. Has anyone had any luck with office@spusu.co.uk. or is it defunct? If they…

Goldcar Rental & DoYouSpain
We paid a deposit for Car Rental through DoYouSpain for a car to be picked up from Goldcar in Alicante Airport. We got to the Goldcar kiosk at 11pm on 12th July to see a huge huddle of people. They had a ticket system where you had to click whether you had a booking or not. Those that had bookings already were left waiting…

Car Hire - Hit and Run Write Off
We hired a car from a rental company in Cyprus. We had used them on previous holidays. We also have an annual excess cover from Questor. Two days before the end of our holiday we found our car had been hit overnight whilst parked across from our hotel. The car we were told by the rental company was a 'right off'. The…

Avis won't refund me for a repair to a hire car they instructed me to make
When I was on holiday in the US I rented a 4x4 from Avis & had a tire blow out whilst there. After phoning the emergency number I was towed to the nearest garage for the repair as I was too far from their nearest location for a replacement vehicle. They gave me an email address over the phone to send the receipt for the…

Opodo flight claim
Hi everyone, hoping for some advice. I booked a flight with Opodo travelling with Air India. I paid extra for a flexible fare in case my plans changed. I paid the full price in one payment on the Opodo website, however the payment was taken in two transactions, the bulk of the money by Air India and a smaller amount by…

ATM exchange rate wrong way round?!
Luton Airport Departures ATM. Surely they’ve got this the wrong way round. 100 Euro should cost £80-90, not £124.93. I’ve heard of crap exchange rates and charges but this takes the biscuit! The ATM is run by The Change Group, which on their website is quoting €100 for £89.04. Is this human error inputting today’s exchange…

AA upgrade
Couple of months ago I booked flight to US. PE going out BC coming back, I’m now thinking I’d fancy BC both ways, there is nothing showing on my AA app at present showing an upgrade (paying extra of course) option, is one likely to appear when I go to check in, if BC seats are still available? Otherwise how do I go about…

Car hire pick up
I have just reread the cheap car hire section on this website, and noted that there is a paragraph concerning returning the car which mentions the importance of returning it on time. However there is no advice concerning picking it up. I used a comparison site to identify the car I wanted to rent at Rome airport and put…

Complaining to Avis
After some advice on how to approach this with Avis. Earlier this month we hired a car from Avis in Italy. On day 5, I was driving along when the left rear tyre deflated. Pulled into the side of the road, checked the boot to find no spare so phoned the Avis helpline. After 45 minutes on hold, Avis arranged for a towtruck…
