Арендовал автомобиль в данной компании на неделю. Новая, чистая машина, в отличном состоянии. Все условия были понятны, цена очень выгодная. Машину доставили прямо к дому, и вообще, весь процесс прошел очень быстро. Очень доволен работой этой компании, обращусь снова.
For once I decided to give a local business a chance, oh boy I better got to proper company. Being warned before to look on company`s with new cars so they could not scam you, i`v decided to give "Riga Car rent" a chance, as most of the cars looked new. I have requested VW Golf, however I got Toyota Yaris. I`v decided not to be fussy about it and just went with it (even that my kid knows that Golf and Yaris two different classes, and most of rent company`s offer same car or the same class). It was everything fine until the last day of rent. By some kind of miracle, parked at public street, number plates of the car got stolen during the night. By some reason theft`s choose to steal those number plates from all the the cars parked there, at most lighten part of the street. When I discovered this, I`v contacted the rent company and they told me to contact police. I`v did this, they wrote report and started criminal case. Staff of rent company assured me its all good, however it will take few hours to sort the number plates. By the end of the day I got contacted by rent company staff and they had a new number plates ready, however I had to pay €75 fine because of that and they told who ever told me that everything will be fine, was wrong and I should go trough contract. At this time I could do nothing, there was no point to argue.
When I went trough contract like they said, there was nothing about it and still got charged even that I purchased extra insurance for damage. They did not offered replacement for the time being and did not refunded day without car. They agreed that it`s not in contract but still did the charge.
Now, I am not accusing here anyone, but everything sound dodgy. All cars have a gps where they see exact location of the vehicle. I know for the fact that theft of number plates are covered by insurance. I am not desperate for €75 like they are, however I will never use this company again, I will never recommend this company to anyone and I am strongly recommend you think before you plan to use services of this company.
Funny that one of their staff, on the moment of handing over the car, mentioned that a lot of car rent company's in Latvia earn on fake damage, insurance, scam etc.. Well how does it make "Riga Car Rent" any different?
Good luck with your business.
We would not hesitate to use their services again next time we visit. Again, look for Daniel as your contact person. He is professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
