Leave a Review Carla Car Rental
Don’t use if you don’t have a credit card or good credit
This was my first time renting a car. I was looking to rent a car for a good price not to expensive, the advertised prices on the app looked pretty good. Because this is my first time renting I didn’t know that some car rental places only except credit cards only so I was unable to pick up the car. I tried again a second time with my friends credit card but her credit card limit was $500 dollars. The app charged her card so it was at $433 and the car price on the app said I only needs to pay $304 so we should have been good but once we were checking the price jumped to $480. So we couldn’t get the car both times. So emailed customer service and they said they were not held reliable if you can’t pick up the car do to low credit score or invalid credit card. But as I’m reading the terms and conditions it says must have a valid ID and a valid CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD. It not say some locations only except credit cards. I also as why the prices did not match up with the app and at the actual location. So now I’m waiting for a response because I’m fed up with this organization.
They should put as a disclaimer must do your on research before purchasing a car on our appShow lesssamm11999
FRAUD
This app allowed me to book a reservation and charged prepayment. The rental car company would not allow me to rent the car because they don’t accept my credit card. They advised they cannot offer refund because I paid Carla, and not them. I contacted Carla via email as that is the only way to contact them and the gentleman sited an excerpt from a terms and conditions page that is not visible to customers until AFTER booking stating that they don’t have to refund you if the rental car company won’t honor your refund. I cancelled the order to receive credit asked to verify that the credit is on my account. They advised me to verify my email but when I attempt to send the link from the app, I don’t receive an email. All of my further requests for assistance have been closed instantaneously by the gentleman who handled the first one. They also charged me twice. Once for the amount I authorized and then again for about $6. This app should be deleted. I have reported the company to the Better Business Bureau.Show lessloveejo
Scam. Edited
My original review is below this edit:
This car rental app is the shadiest app ever. They charge you for things they cannot account for, it took me about 24 separate emails to get a straight answer and even a receipt! They don’t answer the phone number for customer service that they have. If you try to cancel well before your reservation, they refuse to refund 100% of your money even though there’s no verbiage saying their refund policy on the app. They’ll only give you a 100% credit for use on their app, which I’d never use because they’re a horrible company! Then, they saw my original review and contacted me multiple times to get me to revise it offering a discount and a credit. No thanks y’all. No amount of money will get me to change how shady your app is.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: This car rental app is a total scam if you look at their Facebook page you will see nothing but unhappy people out money that they charged. Including myself I was charged two separate charges and nobody can tell me what the second charge was for and now nobody will answer me and refund my money they only say they can refund it has 100% credit for their app which I do not wish to use because they’re outright scamming people.Show lessc1ndyp4lmer
DO NOT USE!!!
Please do not use this app! Read the honest reviews! Just go through the rental company directly! I made a reservation through this app and prepaid about $50 for cancellation fee and “insurance”. When I went to pick up car they did have my reservation but there was no insurance so I had to get insurance through enterprise! They had no information included with the reservation with Carla about coverage. So I had to pay more money than expected. And the confirmation email I received said nothing about insurance coverage either and actually said in the email to provide my personal insurance with rental coverage at the counter. So that makes no sense that I paid for car “coverage” through Carla. They charged me and I received nothing. I don’t see this app lasting for much longer because it seems many people have this problem and that the 5 star reviews are fake. I also asked about carla’s “under 25 fee waived” although I am 28. Enterprise says that is not a fee that can be waived and that someone would still end up having to pay the extra amount. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP!!!!Show lessKashmereT
Don’t do it!!!!!
I am officially out almost $300 for a rental I never used. Both the app and initial customer service interactions seem legitimate and professional. I’m sure it may even be to an extent, assuming that you change nothing and your initial travel plans come off perfectly. As we all know these days, that is certainly the exception not the rule.I had the misfortune of making multiple reservations with Carla, getting a great rate, and then having events canceled. When I contacted Carla to change my reservation or get credit or a refund, they were incredibly difficult, did not respond at all, or simply told me no refund or credit was available; pound sand. These days airlines, hotels and just about everyone else in the travel industry understands that refunds and credits are just part of the new normal, but this company clearly doesn’t care and has no interest in taking care of its customers who are still trying to travel and support their industry during the pandemic. The cheap prices are definitely not worth the risk and suspect business practices in my opinionShow lessJPVT18
This company has the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced
I was excited to try Carla because I need to rent cars frequently for work. I am extremely disappointed because they apparently think it’s okay to charge you twice for insurance. The rental company did not recognize the app, and charged me for the insurance on the car after I had already purchased it through Carla. I was never told that I had bought the insurance twice, and when I tried appealing to Carla with proof that I had already purchased it, they were very rude. They wouldn’t refund me for the insurance and have lost a regular customer of their service which is worth a lot more. Don’t waste your time on them and just book with the car company directly. I have never experienced such rude and dismissive treatment from a company when the mistake wasn’t even on my end.Show lessAllyRoseJ
Very well designed app
This is honestly one of the best apps of it’s kind. First of all I love the visual design. The colors stand out but are not too hard on your eyes. It has a very modern feel and looks very clean and simple. Some other apps get way too cluttered but Carla is great. The text is also just the right size. As for the app itself, it is very easy to use. You just enter your pickup and drop off dates at the locations of your choice and it will give you a bunch of car options to choose from. Make sure to click on the symbol in the upper right corner if you want to filter your results. You can choose by car type, seats, payment options and supplier. You can also sort the results how you would like too. If you don’t like an option you can swipe left to discard it or swipe right to choose it. If you make a mistake there is an undo button in case you accidentally swiped left. There are also an “X” and a check mark at the bottom if you don’t want to swipe. Once you have found your car you can enter your details and choose your rental options. Overall it is great app and I would highly recommend it to anyone searching for a rental car.Show lessShell Leigh
Great app
This is a great app. It’s very helpful and easy to use. I highly recommend. It searches through multiple sites to make sure that you get best deal you possibly can. The reservation process is also easy to use. Just simply put in your pickup location, date, and time and the same for your drop off. It also shows you the cars with the prices to choose from. You’re able to swipe through to browse. Swipe left if you don’t like it and swipe right if you do. I’m sure a lot of us are used to that concept. It’s fun to use, which makes the process a lot easier. Once you find a car that you’ve decided to swipe right on, it will lead you to sign in or sign up. It also gives the option to not only choose a car seat, but which size. You can choose between infant, toddler, and child. It also has coronavirus cancellation protection, which is comforting considering all the changes that can happen because of it. They also note that they sanitize the car, which is also comforting, especially because a lot of people can handle a vehicle within a short amount of time. So again, this app is very easy to use, and is also very helpful. I highly recommend you to download this for tour traveling needs.Show lessbanevbane
Nice job
This app is very clean and easy to use and is very user friendly. It’s well designed and crisp design are modern and welcoming to all users. Navigating the app was very straightforward and even my technology challenged mother and father could use the app and were able to cut down research and booking time so they had more time for family and fun while on vacation. I was able to easily search for car rentals at my destination and for hotels to make travel easy and less stressful. The navigation through the app is very intuitive and the function of each tab is clear and concise. I’ve always been skeptical of using apps instead of going through hotels directly or car rental agencies directly, but this app made everything easy to compare pricing and quality of each brand and company. This app provides easy comparisons between cars and brands, and hotels for wherever your destination may be. I would recommend this app to anyone that travels frequently, anyone that travels rarely, anyone that travels to a new area, and basically anyone looking to make travel easy, stress free, enjoyable, and not waste their time comparing brands, companies, and rates across all the different websites. Very good app, well designed, very helpful.Show lessFarmerDale141516
