Dear Customer Service,
I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with my recent experience with National Car Rental , Fair Oak Farm, Exeter, UK (booking confirmation : # 1582503468 ) regarding my booking made through a third-party service (Hotel.com. with booking ref: 73149172940050) Unavailability of Booked Vehicle: I was informed upon arrival at your location that the specific vehicle (Premium vehicle; Volvo XC90) I had booked was not available. This was extremely disappointing, as I had planned my trip based on the expectation of receiving that vehicle.
No Alternative Vehicle Offered: When I inquired about another vehicle, I was told that no other vehicles were available to accommodate my needs. This left me in a very difficult situation without a reliable means of transportation.
Lack of Responsibility: I was surprised to hear that your company stated it had no responsibility for my booking because it was made through a third party. This lack of accountability is concerning, especially considering the agreement I entered into when I made my reservation.
Lower Grade Vehicle Chosen: As a last resort, I reluctantly accepted a lower-gradevehicle (Benz GLB200 , the grading different around $500-800 per days) to continue with my plans. However, this vehicle was insufficient to accommodate both my family members and our luggage.
Additional Transportation Fees: Consequently, I had to arrange for additionalHK$1500 transportation fee for my family members and our luggage , which incurred unforeseen expenses to ensure that my family could travel together. This added financial burden is quite frustrating.
Given these circumstances, I respectfully request compensation for the inconvenience caused by the unavailability of my booked vehicle and the additional transportation costs I incurred due to the inadequacy of the alternative vehicle provided. I hope to receive a prompt response to this matter and trust that it will be resolved satisfactorily.
Thank you for your attention to this issue.
Sincerely,
Mr WONG
