Car Hire Company Reviews (Part III)
Hello Car Hire Seekers!!!
It is that time again to do some reviews about internet car hire companies. This post will focus on Holiday Autos, Any Car Hire and Nova Car Hire. It is my goal to write reviews for a lot of companies so you can have a good idea about what you can expect the next time you need a car hire. After I have done a big review, I will put all of the data into an easy-to-read post. But for now, let?s dive into some car hire reviews.
Holiday Autos Review
Main Website : www.holidayautos.com
Year Started : 2005
Parent Company : Sabre Holdings Corporation
Subsidiary Companies : www.holidayautos.co.uk, www.lastminute.com, www.travelocity.com
Overall Ranking = 4 / 10
Company Overview ? Holiday Autos is part of a really large travel website group. With the main parent company office in Texas, the rest of the subsidiary companies operate all over the world. Holidayautos.com is a brokerage website that offers really competitive prices.
Pros ? Most of the Holiday Autos reviews said the cars were inexpensive. Unfortunately, that was about the only positive trend. Of course there were a few people that enjoyed their entire experience, but they were by far the minority.
Cons ? The most common response that people gave in their Holiday Autos review is that the cars were in poor working condition. It sounds like the cheap prices reflect the quality of the cars. Not all of their cars are old and run down however, some people reported that they had a nice car for their trip. I think that one person said it best, ?have rented before with holiday autos, and sometimes had good experience, sometimes bad. Renting with them is a lottery, and one which I won’t play again.? This Holiday Auto review basically says that the odds of a good car are less than 50%. I would only recommend using Holiday Autos if you want a cheap price and subsequently?A CHEAP CAR.
Any car hire review
anycarhire.com
Main Website : www.anycarhire.com
Year Started : 2005
Parent Company : Any Car Hire
Subsidiary Companies : unknown
Overall Ranking = 5 / 10
Company Overview ? It was difficult to find information about Any Car Hire so I went to their website to get a feel for the usability. It is fairly simple to search for available cars and they put the name of the supplying company next to the price. The only problem is that they only have a few suppliers.
Pros ? Competitive prices and the website is easy to use.
Cons ? Not many partners and they do not have pictures for a lot of the cars. It is hard to give this company a ranking so I put 5 out of 10. They are worth a try, but I am not sure how it will work out.
Nova Car Hire Review
Main Website : www.novacarhire.com
Year Founded : 2005
Parent Company : Nova Car Hire
Subsidiary Companies : www.placestostay.com, www.goireland.com
Overall Ranking = 8 / 10
Company Overview ? Nova is a car hire broker that offers cars all over the world. One of their main markets is in Ireland because that is where I saw the most Nova Car Hire reviews for. They even operate another website goireland.com. They seem to be a strong company in the UK and the USA.
Pros ? Good prices and a nice website. Nova Car Hire does everything you would expect from a high quality internet car hire brokerage firm. They deliver what they promise and they do it for a low price. I can definitely recommend using this website, especially if you will be traveling in the USA or the UK.
Cons ? The only bad quotes in the Nova Car Hire reviews were in regards to the independent car hire companies they work with. If I had 5 cents every time I had to say what I am about to say?I would have about 5 dollars. Nova Car Hire is not to blame if you have a problem with the independent car hire company. Ok, maybe Nova is responsible for about 1% of the blame. But, we cannot honestly expect Nova to have control over the actions of all of their partners. It is ludicrous, ridiculous, down right impossible. Here is how one person reviewed Nova Car Hire, ?No stars. I have a complaint currently with Nova hire. Upon arrival at Pisa airport I had to deal with Auto Europa. On the last day of hire there was a problem with the vehicle. Cut a long story short I am now in dispute with Nova trying to reclaim taxi fares. They are trying to claim they are only a broker and wont take any responsibility for the company they use.? Well I say good for Nova.
Happy Traveling!
