UNJUSTIFIED PRICE INCREASE

Hired a car for 10days from Tempest Care car in January 2022.Pick up and drop off at cape town airport. Transaction done through Discovery Vitality platform. Trying to hire same vehicle class group M for October this year and the price has gone up 150% for exactly the same vehicle and the require full payment at the time of booking and not when one picks up the vehicle which has always been the case.

One expects an increase of perhaps 10 or even 15% per annum but 150% in the past 6 months is outrageous and it sounds like gorging to me and perhaps they need to be investigated by the SA Consumer council . I have asked Tempest and Discovery for an explanation but you may as well talk to the wall . More and more Company's in South Africa sadly ignore constructive criticism and justified complaints !
