No support.
An extra insurance option which I paid for in advance, was deemed inadequate and useless by the car rental company (Okmobility) who refused to let me take the car without paying their own, extra insurance. Carrental8 could not be contacted until the next day and have so far given no real help.
They told me to go back to the airport and insist on a refund, but I was by that stage a good distance away and had little hope of getting my money back and keeping the car.

I paid, they didn't deliver
I paid for a car rental reservation in advance, as required by this company.
Upon arrival in Sweden, Hertz informed me that they had not been paid for my reservation.
I had to pay Hertz their going rate (which was quite a bit more) to get the vehicle.
I filed a claim with crarental8. They said it can take 7-10 days.
I contacted them this morning, as it's been 3 weeks.
They still haven't resolved my complaint. They told me to give them ANOTHER 10 days.
- And not refund on their mistake
- Keep your money
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Buyer beware

Refund
I'm having trouble getting a refund...I emailed them 3 days ago yet no response..now she's saying it has to be escalated to a manager because it's passed when I booked...not my fault I wasn't able to rent a car from the airport because I needed a flight number
My car is not here for collection, as they were all sold out because of they were busy.
I came to collect my car of 8 seater in Hertz. There is no car for collection at all.
They can't help me, nothing about finding replacement but no contact from the carrental8.com. This is so bad.

To confirm booking
I rented a car from this company, car rental eight, and I have not received a confirmation email and can't find any way to get a hold of them to confirm that my wife and I have a car when we arrive at the airport in Halifax. The rental is supposed to be from July 26 to August 9.
My phone number is 519-381-****.
Could somebody contact me regarding the situation? They took the money out of my account on February 16, but I haven't received any emails from them since.
- No confirmation email no booking number only money taken from my visa
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

Verified ReviewerSerious overcharge and bad customer service
I just answered this about 2 days ago. Very unsatisfactory, they didn't seem interested, offered no resolve or compensation for the gross overcharge.
This happened in March 2024. I have rented through CarRental in the past but this time I was sorely disappointed.
The Tampa Airport rental car site closed when my plane arrived.
I was charged for "no show"/cancelation. I was charged for insurance because the rental site wouldn't take my insurance. It was the same insurance accepted the month prior when renting from same company at Tucson Airport.
I wasn't allowed to use my EZ Pass and made to pay for renting the company's toll-box.
Result--additional charge of over $500 even though I paid in full 2 months prior. I filed complaint with Capital One on which I paid for the rental but after CapOne's research with your company it was rejected.
I am still furious and will NEVER rent through CarRental8 again and will recommend no one else does either.
Please respond where/to whom I can lodge a complaint OR contact me with a remedy.
Sincerely,
Barbara Holzel
User's recommendation: Use the typicl companies like Budget, etc. This company sent me offsite from the airport, wouldnt acceot my normal national insurance, made me take their EZ Pass, not the one I brought and without all these add-ons, I was stranded offsite from the airport.

Charged by Carrental 8 and also charged by Dollar Rental
I attended a company luncheon and paid with my personal credit card through carrental 8 and was to be reimbursed by my company. However, Dollar Car Rental also charged me 114.42 along with the 170.27 that carrental charged me for a car pickup on 03/07/24 and returned 03/09/24. This is not the price quoted online, and my company feels it is exorbitant also.
Preferred solution: Full refund
