Ask for concept rental car contract No reaction

I wrote this company twice on their website to send me the concept of their rental car contract My aim was to rent a car in November 2023 My focus was mainly the insurance conditions of rental a car Till now three weeks ago I didnot receive any reaction of the company This gives me not a good feeling What is the reason of no reaction Insurance conditions are essential

Lost for 500 for damage I didn t cause Poor return process

Beware - scammed out of 500 Advice to anyone renting from Drive4Fun 1 take photos videos of the car when you get the car AND when you return the car2 Don t use them if you need to return the car before they open in the morning3 Insist they return the paperwork to you when you return the car with signed acknowledgement they have checked the car and no damage during your rental We rented a car from Drive4Fun in May 2023 Car was quite tired lots of existing bumps scratches and we had a long wait 45mins to get the key but these weren t big issues for us and we had no issues during the rental Our problems started upon returning the car We had paid extra for out of office hours returns as we needed to return it 30mins before the office officially opened in reality these office hours don t mean anything as we collected the car at 1am despite officially being closed at 8pm Having done this with many other car rental companies there is usually a key deposit box for returning if no members of staff are present When we got the key we were informed there was possibly someone going to be working at that time but if not just leave the key in the unlocked car Although not happy with this we didn t have a choice as we had already paid for the rental When we returned the car we were relieved to find there were members of staff One checked the car over against pre-existing damage and confirmed all ok so we headed on our way The next day we got charged 500 and we were sent a photo of a huge dent that wasn t there when we returned it We never thought to photograph video the car on return like we always do on collection given someone had checked it over I challenged this with Drive4Fun but they insisted we returned it like this and denied a member of staff checked it hence my advice at the start Now we will always photograph and video the car on collection and return whether a member of staff has checked it or not According to Drive4Fun they have no CCTV convenient Given the number of positive reviews I hope this is a 1-off e g member of staff lied about checking it but frustrating to lose the money Lessons learnt

Hired a car in oct 2024 now Feb 2025 and still no deposit back Just keep getting fobbed off Apparently when they take the toll charges which was just over 2 euros it releases the funds back The 2 20 still to this day hasn t come out of our bank and no deposit has been released back They have disputed it with Mastercard and we are still no further forward

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs When I returned the car to Faro airport the woman there accused me of putting a scratch on the car There was no scratch And when I refuted it she told me it didn t matter because they had my deposit She was very rude If you do decide to rent a car of these scam artists then make sure to take an up close video of every inch of the car They charged me 300 for this so called scratch Will never use them again and will advise friends and family of the same
