Bad Service

<p>We arrived at the Durban Airport, Tempest Car Hire, on Thursday 27th May :</p> <p> </p> <p>1. The gentleman behind the counter refused that the person who pays for the car can only be the driver.</p> <p>Why can’t you pay with a company card? So I had to spend all of my personal money for the weekend because of incompetence and get refunded from my company the following week. </p> <p> </p> <p>2. He then gave us the wrong car (Toyota Carola)</p> <p> </p> <p>3. After going back to the office with all the luggage, we received the VW polo 1.4 Sedan key</p> <p> </p> <p>4. Get to the car and there were some ants and a bee in the car. Nothing really to be concerned about at the time.</p> <p> </p> <p>5. The very next morning, Friday 28th, the car was invested with ants, 100’s of them. Which I have video proof for. every door, aircon system was crawling with ants.</p> <p>- There was a nest with eggs in the car</p> <p> </p> <p>6. The cost of the rental was also insane and false advertising. They have reserved R5k on my card for a hire of a little VW polo.</p> <p>I went to Cape Town and rented a BMW 3 series for R3k with AVIS. (excellent service from thier side when i used them) </p> <p> </p> <p>bad service and bad car. Never using Tempest again. </p>

Reviewer Update

subsiquently after this complaint the following has been done:

- full deposit returned

- refunded for one day of the car rental

Still not happy with the service, but at least an effort was made to rectify the problem.

THank you Sumaya Barnes for dealing with this matter, your assistance was greatly appreciated.
