Dear FinalRentals Customer Service,
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding my recent car rental experience in Romania, booked through CarJet under reference number CJT-128474892, and handled by your local partner, Plaza Automotive SRL.
On the 12th of June, I arrived in Romania and was picked up from the airport by your team. Upon arrival at the rental office, I was informed that I would need to pay an additional €40 due to being late for the car pick-up. Although I was not made aware of this fee beforehand, I agreed and proceeded with the rental.
After preparing the contract, I was asked to provide a deposit for insurance, which I also agreed to. However, instead of blocking the deposit amount as is standard practice, your agent charged my account €1,059.69. When I questioned why the money was being charged rather than held, I was told that it was your policy, and the full amount would be returned within two weeks. The funds were transferred to Plaza Automotive SRL, as confirmed by my bank.
It has now been several weeks, and the deposit has not been refunded as promised. I find this unacceptable, as it has caused considerable inconvenience and financial stress. I trusted that your company would follow standard industry procedures, and I am disappointed with the lack of transparency and communication regarding this matter.
I request immediate action to ensure the prompt refund of €1,059.69, along with an explanation for why this occurred. Please confirm the timeline for the refund and ensure that this issue is resolved without further delay.
I look forward to your swift response and resolution of this matter.
