I've used this car hire company a few times now and I must say, I've always been really impressed with their service. The booking process is really simple and stress-free, plus they have a great range of cars to choose from all at competitive prices. One thing I really like is that if I do happen to find a cheaper deal somewhere else, I can easily rebook with them and get a refund straight away. The confirmation for the new car is also quick and efficient, which I appreciate. Overall, I always choose Argus when I need a car hire, especially when I'm in Ireland. So, big thanks to them for their reliable service.
Car rental purchase
I arrived at the car rental office at 9:00 am, but there wasn't anyone at the counter, so it messed up my plans a bit. It wasn't Argus Car Hire's fault though, it was actually the car rental company's mistake.
Rental car experience
Recently I had a bit of a nightmare with a car rental company that really let me down. I had booked a car for a 40-day trip in the US and paid over 2000 euros upfront. However, when I got to the rental desk, I was told I couldn't pick up the car because my credit card wasn't accepted for the $400 deposit. Even though I quickly sorted out a new credit card, the rental company went ahead and cancelled my booking. To top it off, they wouldn't give me my money back or pay the supplier, Alamo. So now I'm left over 2000 euros out of pocket and without a car to rent.
Car hire
In 20 years of renting cars around the world I've never had such bad experience and such useless customer service..
I was left stranded at 2am with elderly mother and child in foreign country without a car as it was refused by the actual car suppliers due to us not having IDP (on UK license). It is not mandatory according to Lithuanian and British governments. It is NOT required by the car suppliers either! It was for some odd reason though on the booking confirmation ticket that you'd open when actually collecting your car.
I have spoken with the supplier directly whom advised that if we would have made the booking with them directly we wouldn't be required to provide IDP.
When speaking with Argus so called customer service they played the blame game referring to the booking ticket rules (that go against government and actual supplier rules) and reminding me that I have agreed to this. They refused to speak with suppliers to clarify this as well refused us refund.
If you want to save yourself time, money and ruined holiday - don't use Argus! Go to your car hire places direct no matter how small they are!Professionals
I appreciate your cooperation and team support.
Also a trusted company from where finest car can be hired.
Your cars are being regularly hired by our company marketier , so I know about Argus Car Hire.I had the misfortune to use this company for my 70th birthday trip to Portugal, which had to be cancelled due to quarantine restrictions. All my other bookings were cancelled without problems. However, when I checked my hire car booking, Argus Car had never sent me a booking confirmation (only an email to say they were going to find out if the car I needed was available) and I didn't think I needed to do anything. Unfortunately on a day my email was down, they took more than £500 from my account and by the time I realised it they said I could no longer cancel. They have still not provided me with a copy of the confirmation they say they have sent. Moreover, when I contacted the Car Hire Company (YES Car Hire Faro), they told me they had not received one cent of the money that Argus have taken from me. I find this shocking that an agency like this can simply pocket an amount like this. Will of course never use them again and want to warn other customers not to use them .
It agree, this magnificent idea is necessary just by the way
