I have already talked with a manager at budget YYC and was point right told there nothing they can do for me, and he can’t offer me a partial refund as I already got a great price on the rental for the 10 days and they would be losing money if they refunded me anything else. I was told my only option would be to cancel my booking but there would be a $50 processing fee for doing that. It makes no sense for me to do that at this point as my opinions are limited at due to the time frame left before arriving in Calgary in a few weeks and I would end of paying more for a car without the winter tyres.
What would be an acceptable outcome other than the statement bolded above? If the only cars they have are Golfs, then what would you have them do? They can’t magically give you a car that they don’t have so what is your next best favorable outcome? Determine that before you call in because if they don’t have the type of car that you want, they don’t have it. What would be acceptable to you, taking into account that, if you want winter tires, they just don’t have anything other than a Golf?
