I cannot say that I even had an opportunity to rent a car from this location. I had spoken to a gentleman ( I will not say his name to avoid him the embarrassment) 2 weeks prior to having to bringing my car into the Carstar to have repair done to my bumper.
On the conversation 2 weeks prior I had an in-depth conversation to determine exactly what and how much I would require to rent a car as my insurance was not paying for this.
The gentleman gave me a quote and I believed I had all the information that was needed.
I have rented a car before so I was not sure what was entailed.
When I arrived yesterday I was asked for my drivers license and credit card. I handed them over at which point I was told that I needed to give a $300 deposit to get the car. I informed him that I did not have $300 on my card , to which he replied , “ who doesn’t have $300 dollars available on their card?!?”
I was shocked with this sort of comment and proceeded to explain my situation to my embarrassment, as this was none of his business!
When enquired why I was not informed that I would be needing deposit that HAD to be done by credit card he said , “ well you never asked !”
After this point o left ( with no car)
I had it planned to pay for everything via my debit account as I do not use my credit card for personal use but for business only. Had I been TOLD at the beginning ( two weeks prior) what would be needed I would have been prepare and not left without a car and completely EMBARRASSED and HUMILIATED.
