Verified purchase

I made travel reservations with this company. They took out the purchase amount immediately. However, the next day they sent me an email indicating that Budgetair.co.uk, was not able to confirm my reservations, so they canceled it.
The scam was, that Budgetair.co.uk charged me a $175 cancellation fee. This is outrageous, I didn't cancel the reservations, Budgetair did, so why should I pay this very high cancellation fee, if I didn't cancel or even change my reservations? I believe that Budgetair does this so they can scam people and keep the very high cancellation fee.
Very bad company. Stay away from it.

I believe the rating shown is rigged the same way they conduct their shady business. This website is 1/2 star at best.
I just recently rented a car through their website and this is what happened;
1. You can't see the terms of your rental contract until after you pay the money for the car rental.
2. once they get a hold of your money then they send you this very unusual and unprofessional contract that aims only at extorting as much money as they can.
3. One of their rental terms is to deposit USD 2500 before you can rent the car, plus you have to pay three times the rent amount just for full coverage insurance. For example, you rent a car for $10/day, but you have to pay $20/day more for insurance.
4. Once you pay them the money. You can't get it back. You only get credit from their website, which is ridiculous, because their unprofessional practices are what caused you to cancel the service in the first place. Thus, you won't be using their credit, therefore you technically lost your money.

This is a shady business model, makes me rate them as the worst website I have ever used. I will never use their service again, ever.

Tip for consumers:
Shady and untrustworthy company
