Do Tempest Car Hire have **** partners? Double deposts taken.

I hired a car online on 24 January 2024 through a partner of Tempest. The quoted cost for the period was R1189.89 and the hold on my account R10,000

Immediately after booking, a charge of R5,034.00 (*****ULENT?) under the description TRAVIX BV AMSTE was made on my card plus the R1189.89 (NOT *****ULENT) for the hire.

On Feb 19 an additional charge of R5,460 (NOT *****ULENT) was made on my account of which I was refunded R5,030.60 on 22 Feb.

In this case I agree with the final account from Tempest which I received but it looks like they have ************ partners which took off an additional R5,034.00 at the beginning and never gave it back.

I am not going to leave it here. I am definitely going to take it further.
