Brand Overview: Rentalcars

Rentalcars, widely known as Rentalcars.com, is a major online booking platform for car rentals. Originally founded in 2004 under the name TravelJigsaw, the company has grown into a leading global travel brand and is currently owned and operated by Booking Holdings.

Contact Info

  • Email: A direct official customer support email address is not publicly available, as the company requires customers to submit inquiries through an online contact form using their active booking number.
  • Phone: Customers in the United States can contact customer support at 332-600-6260, though the brand heavily encourages managing all issues through their online portal.

Industry and Operations

Rentalcars operates in the travel technology and automotive industries as a global car rental aggregator and broker. The platform connects consumers with third-party car rental providers, allowing them to search, compare, and reserve vehicles for their travels.

  • Aggregates and compares rental rates from major global suppliers like Hertz, Europcar, and Sixt.
  • Facilitates prepaid car rental bookings in thousands of international locations.
  • Offers supplementary rental vehicle insurance and damage protection products.

User Sentiment

Overall user sentiment regarding Rentalcars is largely negative on major consumer review platforms, with customers frequently expressing frustration over communication breakdowns between the booking site and the local rental agencies, as well as a lack of accountability when things go wrong.

  • Hidden Fees at the Counter: Users consistently complain about unexpected charges upon arrival, including mandatory insurance add-ons and exorbitant security deposits not clearly disclosed during the initial booking.
  • Strict Credit Card Policies: A major source of complaints involves customers being denied their rental car for presenting a debit card instead of a physical credit card in the primary driver's name, often resulting in a total loss of their prepaid funds.
  • Lost or Unrecognized Bookings: Many reviewers report arriving at the rental desk only to be told that the local agency has no record of their reservation or has already rented the reserved vehicle to someone else.
  • Poor Customer Support and Refunds: Customers note extreme difficulties in getting a refund or reaching a helpful human representative, often stating that Rentalcars shifts the blame to the third-party rental agency.
