After endless contact still no refund

I rented a car at the airport from the 3rd to the 15th of January, Rental agreement number: ********** . Upon collecting the vehicle I was informed that the additional driver was supposed to sign as well. She was not present and I therefore requested to cancel the add on to my agreement. The staff member whose badge stated "Trainee" advised that she would make a note on my agreement. Upon delivery of the car I advised the collection manager of the same who said she would make a note as well. On the 18th and 30th of January I sent emails to ********** and ********** regarding this with no feedback. I also spoke to Samantha on 30th but the line was bad so the call ended. I am currently in South Korea and therefore only have online recourse since the telephonic option failed. A month later and I have yet to receive feedback. Please action this as soon as possible or I will be forced to take further action.

9 DAYS AGO and still no reply. How difficult is it to check the rental agreement, see that I paid for the additional driver, and give me the refund?

Dear Valued Customer

Thank you for allowing Dollar Thrifty Car Rental the time to investigate.

Please be advised that as per senior management there will not be a refund due, as Dollar Thrifty Car Rental can not be held liable if the additional driver option was selected, but was not present at the counter upon collection of the vehicle to sign the relevant documents.

Thank you

Dollar Thrifty Car rental

Kindy refer me to the terms and conditions where it states that the additional driver has to sign any documents. Also, management AND a staff member advised me that receiving a refund would not be a problem when I collected and returned the car. If I had known I would not receive a refund I would have made an effort to get the document signed so that I could have made use of the additional driver.
