On September 10, 2025, I made a car rental reservation through Carjet for a Volkswagen Golf, scheduled for pickup at 8:30 AM at Düsseldorf Airport (Reservation No: cjt-187978*). When I arrived at the rental counter, there was a long queue, and due to the heavy traffic, I was delayed in receiving my service number. By the time it was my turn, it was around 9:00 AM.
However, the agent canceled my reservation, claiming that the vehicle was not collected within one hour of the pickup time and refused to hand over the car. Since I urgently needed a vehicle, I was forced to book another reservation on the same website for 11:00 AM, paying again.
Afterward, I contacted Carjet customer support to request a refund for the first canceled booking, but I only received an automatic response denying my claim. I paid approximately $80 by credit card, and my booking was not part of any insurance or promotional offer.
The delay was clearly due to queue congestion, not my fault, and the company’s inflexible handling caused significant inconvenience. I therefore request a full refund for the amount paid for the first reservation and an apology for the unfair treatment.
