Deposit hold not being cleared

Great service when it comes to booking the rental, pricing, options/waivers and receiving and returning the car. However when it comes to the deposit hold on your credit card the service is terrible. I hired a car and returned it on the 18th of March. It is now 2 April and the holding deposit is still not returned. I phoned the customer care line and they said they will send and email to their banking contact to process the release of the deposit. When i phoned today the lady said it was processed and it will take 7-10 days, however we are now on 7 days and still nothing. Get your holding deposit clearing sorted or change your bank. It is not the first customer to complain about this.

Reviewer Update
still not resolved. the email address on your system for absa bank is spelled incorrectly hence why the holding deposit is not reversed as the bank never receives it. The lady Tuscany is very stubborn as i had to repeat myself probably 5 times before she would listen and understand that there is a spelling mistake. i have done another phone call only to be told they have sent through another request and once again wait a day. i asked for a copy and it was never sent
