carrentals.com and my car insurance woes.
I recently had the misfortune to deal with carrentals.com, having ended up there after being referred to Kayak from this site. I made a reservation at what looked like a fair price, but weeks later when I arrived at the destination I was told by the car hire sales rep that no insurance was included in the deal and that to…

Ryanair flight cancelled due to ATC strike
Hi there Recently a Ryanair flight me and my partner were booked on from Brescia to Stansted was cancelled because of an Italian ATC strike. Ryanair booked us on a flight from Treviso. We had to get there so we dropped the Hertz car off at Treviso instead. I've been charged 90 euros by Hertz for the pleasure of this. I…

HELP! Money /cards/travellers cheques abroad
I'm off in a few days on a 7 month adventure to Japan, Australia, New Zealand and India. I stupidly didnt do much research on bank charges, thinking that my current bank (NatWest) wouldn't charge me much to withdraw from an ATM or do a point of sale transaction... oh dear, how wrong I was. Anyway, it is too late now to get…

New Petition to stop Airline credit/debit charges
Hi all There is a new petition on the No10 website asking the government to step in and force the airlines to stop the extreme charges that they are making just for us to pay for our tickets. If we all accept this and do nothing about it, we'll all end up paying more & more for our flights. Let's be honest, if you went…

(Collision damage waiver is the insurance that will provide cover for damage to the rented vehicle). I noticed this when…

car hire provided without air conditioning
I recently rented a car from Nice airport, through Auto Europe and Hertz. It was only when I was already on the motorway I realised the car had been provided without air conditioning, whereas my hire agreement stated I had paid for a car with air conditioning. I had already queued for over an hour to get the car in 30…

My passport shows my first, second names & surname, but Ryanair's software (I thought) only let me add my first & surname. The site wont let me go back to check. Have I done it…

Ryanair: now selling sale fares into 2010
Perhaps only of interest to regular Ryanair passengers, but while Ryanair.com always has some kind of headline sale on the go, the current "80% off" promotion is the first to include sale fares into 2010. Up to now, sales this year have only been for dates up to mid-December, presumably to concentrate on bumping up their…

Anyone looking to fly BA
Yup, its that time of the year again. BA report huge losses which in turn mean the airline is forced to make cuts/freezes etc... Obviously some one in the union missed a whiff of someone elses fart and has decided to ballot for strike action. Since the strikes almost always seem to go ahead and BA can barely cope as it is,…
