Car rental at London/Heathrow SUCKS!
Why is there such a terrible disconnect between
car rentals in the US vs those in the UK? There seems to be a complete failure in efficiency and service levels. The prices are way up on what we might expect to pay in the US too. I have had appalling service and problems for about 5 years running from various major rental chains, including one in which the woman running the branch didn't want to accept the price I had gotten from her own company on the internet and kept us waiting for 2 hours while she phoned everyone in London to see if she could get out of giving us the car at the price we booked it at. Only threats of the Better Business Bureau and FTC finally made her comply, but the entire experience sucked as well as my latest wherein I had a prepaid receipt and the rental agency couldn't supply me with a car, and kept us in a long queue in terminal 4 with loads of passengers barging into us and swearing at us using obscenities. Great way to start a holiday!!! Errol |
