Reserved and paid online at Travelocity for something they can’t provide
Reserved and paid online at Travelocity for a specific type of car (a hatchback capable of carrying an electric wheelchair - Kia Soul). Then found out that if the Soul was not available, what Travelocity claimed were “similar” alternates included VW Beetle, Nissan Versa sedan, Fiat sedan, Ford Focus sedan, and Hyundai Elantra sedan. None of which can carry a wheelchair. When I talked to a Travelocity rep about the fact that their rental car vendor couldn’t guarantee a similar vehicle to what I’d reserved, they said “sorry but it’s up to the vendor to provide whatever is available”. So in other words, Travelocity is essentially guilty of false advertising when they claim you can reserve a specific car or one “similar” to it when in reality, their vendor can provide whatever is “available” at the time you want to pick it up. And if this is not acceptable they will charge you $50 to cancel the reservation. I’m done with Travelocity. Total rip-off.
