scam
When I arrived at Antalya Airport and followed the instructions provided to collect the car from **Eren Rent A Car Antalya**, the stated meeting point did not exist. I then had to attempt to contact the company through various channels, only to be told that someone would call me and collect me from somewhere within the airport area.
When I was eventually collected, I was taken to the rental office, which was located in a secluded and unprofessional area. The main issue arose when I insisted on leaving a £500 deposit to avoid purchasing additional insurance. I attempted to use three different credit cards, all of which were supposedly âdeclined.â At the time, I did not realise this may have been a deceptive tactic. I was informed that my cards were not working, despite the fact that I regularly rent vehicles worldwide without any issues.
At approximately 1:00am, in an unfamiliar and isolated location, I was told that if I still wanted to collect the car, I would need to purchase additional insurance for around â¬180, payable only by debit card. The alternative was to forfeit the money I had already prepaid for the hire and arrange my own transport out of the area. Under these circumstances, I felt I had no reasonable choice but to pay.
After paying for this âinsurance,â which I was told would remove any excess liability, I was then asked to pay a further â¬500 deposit for another unspecified requirementâagain, only via debit card.
Additionally, I had booked and paid for an automatic vehicle. However, upon arrival, I was informed that if I wanted an automatic car, I would need to pay even more for additional insurance, which I declined.
Following this experience, I contacted my banks and was informed that none of my credit cards had been declined or even processed. This strongly suggests that the claims made by the company were false. At the time, I was unable to verify this due to the late hour and the circumstances.
I also became aware that other travellers have experienced similar issues with this company. During my visit, I was moved into a separate room while another British customer was being served and was told that my cards were the problem, whereas the other customer had no issues. I later discovered that this individual had experienced the same situation. It appears we were deliberately separated to prevent comparison of our experiences.
Overall, this experience was extremely concerning and misleading. It is very disappointing that companies operating in this manner are allowed to continue trading.
