Really cross with myself messed up the car booking

[heatherbelle]

Booked the car with USrentacar months ago and managed to get a great deal on a 4X4. (307.00 for a Dodge Darango, with Gold)

Tickets arrived from Virgin and I have only gone and booked the car for one day less than we need. Contacted car company and they want another £100.00 for an extra day's rental. I've asked them to check the price, but I suspect they will come back and say it's correct, as the original booking was for a special offer.

Now going to have to cancel the car and start looking for bargins all over again. Fortunately I took out the cancellation policy when I booked, so I could cancel up to the day before we pick up the rental.

Anyone know a good place to start please, DH is really upset?

Why not still use the car - ask when you arrive how much for 1 extra day. Or return and use Mears or a town car.

I have used airline network before for car hire.

In the past Airline Network have come out cheapest for me too. I prefer to use Dollar and have also use them directly as well as through AN.
Good luck:thumbsup2

use the car and just get one extra day from another company either before u go or when u are out there, or ask when u collect the car, i am sure it wont cost 100 quid

Look carefully at the usrentacar voucher, often theywill round up to whole weeks, (i.e we booked for five days, but the voucher gives us a week).

If you need to cancel,either use USrentacar again or we use www.holidayautos.co.uk

Paul, I'm not blaing usrentacar, I'm just surprised that they wanted 100.00 for 1 extra day. I've now cancelled the car and have started again.

Next time I will be more careful with my dates. It's the first time I've DIY'd, and probably the last.

dont understand why it is always the cheaper option for car hire assuming the information u input is correct

:headache: i done the same sort of thing the other day, we are on a morning flight going to mco and a late evening flight coming home- i put pick up and drop off times as 4pm whereas infact the car will be dropped off at 7pm.. To alter it to 7pm cost me £15 and as it is another 3 hrs extra its classed as another day and cost another £30 :eek:
