I would just like to write my experience and inform potential customers about car renting company called addCar Ulica Sandora Brescenskog 1, Zagreb, Croatia and broker called ECONOMY BOOKINGS.
Due to needing a car upon my trip and to show a friend from UK my native country of Croatia I rented a car from this company through broker called ECONOMY BOOKINGS, on the broker website and my voucher renting terms were as follows "KIA PICANTO MINI or similar" pickup at 11pm, company representative will be waiting at the departures section near the elevator with my name on the board and I paid deposit of around 115€ upon booking through the website.
My airplane landed to Zagreb airport at 10:30pm, at 10:58pm I called the company representative to ask where are they, they said that they are coming and to be at the departures section, at 23:04pm I called again to see where exactly they are, they said they are coming and to be at the departures section. Company representative arrived at 23:10pm in Lancia hybrid with my name on the board and brought me into the company office near the airport.
We spent there at least an hour where he explained to me terms and conditions and said that he will charge me extra fee for off working hours as they work until 11pm but nothing like that was written on the broker website in the headline along with model of the car and alloted time for picking up the car. When I said that to him he said he has to charge me off working hours fee otherwise his supervisors will be asking questions and to complain to the broker and to ask a refund from them, he also gave me customer care email from the company addCar Ulica Sandora Brescenskog 1, Zagreb.
I was surprised by the lack of that important info in the headline on the voucher next to the alloted pickup time upon booking the car from my home in Dublin but due to being late in the night at around 00:30am and having no other option as I didnt want to sleep on the road or wait for at least 30min for taxi as there were no buses working at that time I was forced to sign the rental contract even though they claim otherwise and that it was solely my decision, also they took a 200€ deposit for insurance purposes and claim to refund it upon 45 business days.
I contacted company CEO Toncica Bogdan to ask her why did they charge me off working hours service fee as I came on time and their representative was late and asked them to please refund me that fee as it was unjustly charged which she refused insisting it was my mistake even though I have the evidence on which I base my claims and can provide them upon request.
My only mistake is renting a car from that company and broker as they gave me a very negative experience doing business with them. I hope nobody repeats my mistake and I would appreciate if people would write their experiences to know which dealers of products and services to avoid, we have to reward good customer service and punish the bad customer service.

Tip for consumers:
I suggest to avoid this company as they are not transparent.

Hi, I would just like to warn everybody and leave a negative review on Philip Wayne and his promises which he regularly does not fulfill therefore I believe he is a scammer.
He is allegedly a trader with crypto and other commodities in GlobalTradeInvestors or GTI in short with whom I decided to invest 500$ to try him out and he gave me an illusion that he is genuine as I was able to withdraw my initial investment after which i foolishly invested overall about *******$ and after a while I got an email from
GTI that they have stopped withdrawals as they allegedly had pressure from USA tax authorities to pay fines for not paying taxes on trading which means that they used my deposit and I am not an USA citizen which means I am not liable by law to pay USA tax
Or which I believe is more true is that Philip Wayne used it as an excuse not to return me my funds and I have foolishly invested another 4000$ believing in his story to revive my account and continue trading in order to be able to withdraw funds owed to me.
Without a word from Philip Wayne that money was also gone and after a while of messages I was finally able to get him to reply to me with what is happening and he said that investment is also gone after which I invested another 1000$ and we agreed I will withdraw monthly which I was able to and then in December of last year after I withdrew my 1000$ he was asking me for additional investment saying its just a Christmas bonus with no pressure if I cant invest anymore.
Then they announced that they will be going on Christmas holidays and in January I was unable to withdraw again and I among other investors asked him "Philip Wayne what is going on as I have not received my money" and then he told me and other unfortunate investors that some greedy big investors withdrew their funds complaining that profits are slow and everybody is in withdrawal mode and therefore he did not continue trading.
Again after lots of messages and unreplied calls from my side asking him to call me to talk about deposits retrieval of me, my referral and other unfortunate investors he managed to reply that he is in Spain very busy at the moment following with his loan request and he will call me when he has a minute, weekend has passed without a call from Philip Wayne during which I am sure he had a free minute to communicate deposit withdrawals with me but he chose not to and intentionally decieved me and other unfortunate people.
He is now gone from Facebook hiding as I am unable to find him and contact him.
I would like to warn people that this guy is manipulative, unreliable with big integrity issues and to avoid him at all costs.
I would also like to invite his parents or any of his family if they have any sense of decency to start refunding my referral who is a hard working man that had a trust in me and is in dire need and the rest of us investors.

Tip for consumers:
Strongly avoid anything to do with Philip Wayne

Here they ask for minimum "investment" of 500$ in btc for which you are supposedly paid 2,9$ a day in your account for 6 months and then you can withdraw your funds, unfortunately I have invested here on the 10th. Of May and I cant withdraw, support is also not responsive, therefore I conclude this to be a Fraud and people behind it thieves, BEWARE!

Tip for consumers:
SCAM, BEWARE!

Minimum investment here is 3000$, out of which you get "supposedly" 7% weekly credited to your account, they give you 2 small withdrawals to give you an illusion of legitimacy, then withdrawals stop.
When I tried to withdraw the total balance by some miracle I managed to get to support and asked them to withdraw my total balance to which they said I have to pay 32.5% tax as profits they make attracts high taxes in USA,
They dont give receipt for tax payment and were asking me to pay tax in crypto USDT which is not a legal tender in USA.
I asked them "if I pay you for tax, why would you not just keep it along with my money that is already with them."
They said they are in business for 9yrs already and would not like to endanger their reputation to assure me of their legitimacy.
Of course I have never seen my funds returned and I strongly suggest avoiding orbexfinance.com if you want to keep your money.
