Day 11 after returning the car. I have emailed Woodford, they rep**** asking me for my credit card details (the same card I used for the deposit payment that was supposed to be a "hold"). I have sent through the details. No resolution.

Day 12 since returning the car. Still no resolution. Woodford has sent me a survey asking me to rate their service, lol.

17 working days and still no refund. If you are reading this thread, use a different car rental agency. This wasnt worth it. I researched the agencies and I saw all of the negative reviews, but I didnt pay enough attention to it.

20 working days and still no resolution. Absolutely no contact from Woodford for three days now, since the last email apologising and stating that the "finance department deals with many refunds".

Twenty six working days after returning the car, and the refund has finally appeared in my credit card. My advice to Woodford is to update their refund guidelines, as currently stating that the refund takes 7-10 working days is overpromising and underdelivering. If the guideline stated it takes 20-30 working days it would be more accurate, and they clearly need more time.
