BEWARE!
I just got hung up on by the customer "support" at Easy Click travel. I booked a hotel and rental car through the website and will NEVER use them again. If you search for a rental car on the site, the price may or may not include taxes, surcharges, etc. When it does include these costs, it clearly states "Total, with taxes and surcharges," but when it doesn't include them, it just says "Total Cost." I usually understand "total cost" to include taxes and surcharges, especially when taxes and surcharges are included in "total cost" elsewhere on the site. My confirmation email has the total cost (charged to my credit card) and did not mention that taxes and fees would be charged separately at the rental car counter. So, I was very shocked when I got to the Hertz counter and was charged another $93!
I checked the website now, and when clicking on the cars tab at the top of the page, taxes are shown next to the price. However, if you go to the left hand table and search, the taxes are not included, and there is no mention of taxes unless you scroll down the page and click on a link. Taxes and fees do not show up, and there is no mention of taxes or fees next to "Total Cost" or "Price Information." I remember looking around for info on taxes and fees, and couldn't find any. (It turns out that it is buried in there, but you really have to dig, unless you happen to click on the "cars" tab in the first place, and then it's obvious.
Anyway, I wish I had checked Yelp, because it seems I'm not the first to have this problem.
The hotel I booked was fine, but I do think that easyclick's website and wording is confusing and deceptive regarding these taxes, surcharges and fees, and once I paid them at the rental car counter, I ended up paying over $80 more than I would have if I had booked through another site.
When I called to figure out what had happened and let them know that their website is unclear and seems deceptive, they were incredibly rude. The first woman insinuated that I couldn't read or use the internet, and then her supervisor hung up on me: I said I felt that the website was purposely deceptive and I felt mislead, and he said, "Ma'am, I really have nothing else to say to you. Have a nice day," and hung up!
I book all of my travel online, but won't be using this site again. If you do use it, be very careful. read more
