Money Moral Dilemma: Should my friends share the cost of my holiday speeding fine?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... While on holiday abroad with three friends, we hired a car. We were in a country notorious for being strict on speeding, so we were extremely careful to obey the limits. However, coming down a hill, I slipped over the limit. There were police with a radar gun waiting, and…

ReduceMyExcess Policy Wording
I'm about to use ReduceMyExcess, but before I go ahead, I'd like to understand exactly what they mean by this clause in their policy wording. It seems at odds with the idea that I'd be able to claim back for any damage to the hire car: any claim where the Rental Excess or cost of Damage has been paid in cash or the amount…

I rented a car from Enterprise in January, no issues until we drove back into the car park and the tyre pressure light came on. The employee gave the car a once over and told us not to worry as it just needed air in the tyre. Fast forward 2 months and £1000 was attempted to be taken from my card. I called Entperise and…

Car hire fiasco- what are my rights?
We hired a 9 seater van with Jetset through a TUi shop for our holiday in Greece. When we arrived the company said it was not available due to an accident.

Is there anywhere to view historic departure and arrival times for flights to get an idea of how likely there is to be a delay? In particular Easyjet's EZY8013 Gatwick to Valencia and EZY8014 return. Also can anyone recommend a concise account of a passenger's rights if there are delays or cancellations. Hopefully…

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…

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…

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…
