Trying to get a refund out of Enterprise rent a car
I recently hired a car from Enterprise rent a car. I thought I had booked it through rentalcars.com for £350 for 4 days in a Ford Galaxy, however, when I turned up at the airport there was no sign of the booking, and I later learned that rentalcars.com had cancelled the booking and not taken any money from me. Enterprise…

Flight date change within 24 hours
I've made the very stupid mistake of booking my flight via Skyscanner and therefore a travel agent when I normally always book directly with the flying company. I booked two return flights to NY from London total £776 at 5:50pm yesterday. At 12 noon today, I checked the booking and noticed the wrong date outgoing by two…

MSE News: Hand luggage rules – is lipstick a liquid?
If you're packing hand luggage for a flight, most UK airports expect you to put certain toiletries in a clear 'liquids' bag when you go through security. Yet the rules on what counts as a liquid can vary by airport, and some have even done away with the bags, MoneySavingExpert.com research has found. Read the full story:…

Metro Bank Current Account now has foreign currency transaction fees
It's very disappointing to note that Metro Bank will be charging 2.99% (+ £1.50 ATM fee) wef 29/8/24. I have had this account for well over 10 years explicitly to use in Europe and, living in Scotland, it wasn't easy to open. On occasion there have been large sums in the account but unfortunately it will be cancelled on…

We are attending a wedding in Italy in September 2025. There will be about 10 of us travelling, ideally to Verona from any airport in England. When is the best time to buy the tickets, on release or wait for a possible reduced price?

Empty aircraft returning UK
Something that I have wanted to get a knowledgeable answer on for some time. Some years ago we were on a Thomas Cook package to Santa Eulalia, Ibiza - all went fine. However on the day of the return flight the incoming plane out of Glasgow was about 4 hours (and counting) late. We were resigned to a long delay at IBZ -…

Buying Euros from a UK travel agent - can I use my credit card (Amex)?
Hi will there be any charges if I buy some Euros at my local travel agency? Or is the transaction treated like paying for good and services? I also have a mastercard I could use if that'd avoid any potential fees I'd get using Amex. Failing that I have a chase account. Assuming I'd get cashback on that too? Many thanks

They later email to inform me that before my order can be processed, they want photos of my passport, my driving license, the reason I want the currency (I told them for holiday)…

Holiday flights from Newcastle.
Why are we in the north east treated so badly by the holiday companies when it comes to flight time departures and returns. More than anywhere else in the country we are expected to have to leave on 6.am. flights and return in the early hours of the morning. There does appear to be a biased for reasonable timed flights and…

Car rental & insurance - hoping to avoid being scammed again!
Hiya! I have a question about car hire insurance... (I did post this in another thread but it seems like that hasn't been active for a while) In 2019 we got massively stung by being told at the rental counter in San Diego we needed to buy extra insurance or we couldn't take the car - ended up paying an extra £800 or…

Name changed on Flight Tickets which I paid for
Afternoon, I hope this is the right category to post this. Earlier this year I paid for 2 flight tickets with EasyJet for me and my friend (at the time). I was having issues with the site, so my friend ended up doing the booking on their end, and I paid for it with my card (Debit card, not credit card, I don't have one of…

Not seen this before
I'm well aware that 'cheap' flight operators will do their upmost to relieve you of money over and above the 'cost' of a flight but a recent experience with Easyjet was a new one for me. I found a flight, selected it and started the process of booking. So far so good. Many will be experienced with the palaver of booking…
