Hi I hired a car in Fuertaventura and the hire company didn’t like me taking a video and pictures. He stormed off and another lady behind the counter asked me why I was being so obstructed.
This was all because I said no to there inflated insurance. Great channel
I signed the ePAd with my signature and the words "NO INSURANCE" they attempted to claim I asked for it - but the sig clearly showed I didnt, bank didnt hesitate to refund.
Thank you for doing this service they are persiustant bastards, check twice before verifying your rental charge sometimes the charge does not go through do it again and you can find insurance added
Some of the scams for example 'smoke odor' cleaning charges are very cunning. It's classic he said they said. The customer says they have never smoked in their lifetime. The rental car company says their employee detected smoke odor. Nothing can be proved either way. The rental car companies rely on there being a certain percentage of customers who won't dispute the charge so a nice little earner. Somewhat similar to shady airport hotels charging customers for breakfasts they didn't have.
Well done for this 🙏🏻
Your experience and advises are very good to protect a good customer from bad guys. I am applauding you for your good citizenship helping others.
Thank you very much and I'm glad the information has helped you. It makes the videos worth producing as it takes me a long time.
OMG don't think I will ever hire a car, it's too stressful!!!
I think I just fell for all these scams ... KVL Malta. I'm just waiting for the bill, the car was covered in scratches and dings which the guy said he had recorded and showed me the top sheet. All recorded. When I looked at the paperwork he gave me, later, non of the marks was recorded. Looks like I might have a fight on my hands.
Klass Wagen mis-sold me NRW insurance saying this was refundable- do not use
Sure price does not return deposit - we have been trying to get the deposit since 26th September and we are completely ignored when trying to contact customer service - don’t rent from them as they cheat and don’t return deposits ! Never ever sure price they take advantage of customers!

Hey John, thanks for this. I didn't think of doing it. I'll add this to the description if that's ok. Appreciate it.
@@carhireshout3944 of course
Where can I post feedback regarding your app?
Also: a recommendation for another point: if possible don‘t drive your car with all your stuff in it directly from the rental office to a public parking spot that lends itself to a quick and simple break-in. That‘s what just happened to me. (I don‘t know whether someone actually followed me from the rental, but people here (Malaga, spain) have told me this has been reported to happen here.)
@@banzobeans Hey John, would really appreciate the feedback. I need to improve the app in a second version but I'm self funding it and have had a lot of work on lately so not had the time to concentrate on it. I plan to turn my attention to Car Hire Shout in 2021. Please send me your feedback to marcus@carhireshout.com. Thanks a million.
Third party insurance only covers collision,not liabilty
Thanks RobFrank22, appreciate the comment.
Your links below don't work. Or are you yourself a scammer ?
Dodginess!! My goodness...
Yes indeed Molly, they have plenty of tricks up their sleeves!
Ok well I work at a rental company at an intl airport half of the shit this guy said is cap sometimes u got those shitty people but they really don’t reflect us a whole sometimes mistakes happen but we fix them but we do not scam people to take cdw, CDW IS NOT MANDATORY, the security will be taken regardless of taking cdw or not and AGAIN if you were charged for it mistakenly you advise the customer service as soon as possible or ask questions confirm, we always confirm because you are the client we were for you! Honestly half of stuff this guy says is cap, and if they’re going on they’re going down on second hand companies no way a budget/hertz/enterprise will risk à blimsh to their name, if they said you did something you 8/10 did the other 2% is either they made a mistake and will make it right or that employee is shit…
Hi Jeff, thanks for your comment. Of course I'm not suggesting that every employee intends to scam customers and I agree that some companies are far more reputable than others. Enterprise is actually my favorite and always recommend going with one of the bigger, more reputable companies than the companies that offer very cheap "deals" online.
With these, the sting in the tail tends to be one or a combination of the scams I've highlighted. In the video I'm simply explaining the scams I've suffered as someone who would rent cars monthly over around a 10 year period.
Twitter and FB is littered with similar complaints from other customers so I put this video together in an effort to help others to know what to look out for and be aware of before they book.
