Hello Woodford Car Hire,

Thank you for reaching out. I am Ntombi.

Thank you for sharing the booking references. We will review your request and revert.

For cancelled reservations, refunds usually take 7 to 14 working days to reflect in your account. Please note that working days exclude weekends and public holidays, and once a refund has been initiated, the time it takes to appear can also vary depending on the payment provider or bank.

As you have already provided the cancelled reservation reference WWGP027B74 and advised that the refund has still not been received, this may need a manual check.

Kind regards, Ntombi

Yours sincerely, Contact Centre Agent Woodford Logo Call: +***0 | WhatsApp: +***0 Additional Woodford Image

A customer sent the following via the Contact Us page:

Name: Mashilo Moloto Email: *** Phone: *** Country: Branch: Subject: Message:

I am writing regarding reservation WWGP027B74, which I cancelled after selecting the 100 km per day option instead of unlimited kilometres.

I contacted the Hatfield branch and was advised that they did not have the authority to change the booking to unlimited kilometres and that this could only be done by Head Office. I subsequently contacted Head Office, but it was outside working hours. As a result, I cancelled the reservation and made a new booking, WWGP027B7F, with the correct option.

To date, I have not received the refund for the cancelled reservation.

This is particularly concerning as this is the second outstanding refund issue I have experienced with Woodford. The first was the R250 deposit, which I was advised would be escalated, but I have still not received the refund.

Please arrange the outstanding refund immediately, as I would like to use the funds towards my current rental.

Alternatively, if the refund cannot be processed immediately, please use the amount to make a reservation for me from:

Sunday, 30 August 2026 at 08:00 to Wednesday, 2 September 2026 at 08:00 Please confirm how you intend to resolve this and provide the refund/reservation confirmation as soon as possible.

The other issue was resolved, it was Discovery bank that held the funds.

Regards, Mashilo

Reviewer Update
Stop with lies and trying to look good. Londiwe Thwala said you processes the refund on 26 August 2026. Why is the money not paid? We talk about the cancellation that was done on the 15 August 2026. She further goes to say I must wait another 7-10 working days. You are caught off guard. You ***** people's money that is why you can't explain why you did not pay the other refund from four months ago. I want my money. I called thrice today holding for at least 17 minutes on each call and I had to drop calls. Abigail Mentor do not apologize if you know this is your business model that you ***** every cancellation. I'm not the first person who experienced this. This is not a challenge, you are *****ulently holding onto the money that is not yours. coming up with ridiculous turnaround times because you were not expecting my to call out on this thieving behaviour. Does it makes sense to you that on the 10 September you telling me nonsense that I must wait another 7-10 working days for the cancellation that was done on 15 August 2026. Tell the public that you ***** client's money so that they can avoid this **** of a company.
