Battery was dead & had to wait for help from Ace car rentals as it was 3KM’s from the drop off stati

I booked a 2023 Toyota Camry (Standard/Mid-Size), but was actually given a Kia K4 (Compact). Initially, the staff said there were no Camrys available and tried to offer an old Subaru small SUV, which couldn't fit two suitcases. Only then did they switch to the Kia K4. The vehicle provided did not meet the expected model.

The puck up went smoothly, and the car was fine, but we will never use ACE car rentals again because at the drop we left the car unattended and we believe a member of staff threw stones at the windscreen and chipped it. It did Not have any chips in when we returned the car, especially directly in front of the drivers face, when it was pointed out as we went back out side the windscreen chips were clearly visible, and I would have noticed these over the 21 day rental, and we were asked if we had photos of the windscreen but why would we take photos of a perfectly good windscreen ??

The car was amazing, absolutely loved it. Procedure around when and how excess is payable would have been great before picking up the vehicle not after.

improve the car and services

Everything was perfect except the phone didn’t answer. The recorded message said we had to stay on the line to arrange pickup, but then on all 3 phone numbers we were put through to a message bank and there was a message “the message bank of (number) is full. Please try again later. Not only us but two other renters did the same. There was a lot of anxiety and stress which was unnecessary even though the shuttle came within about 15 mins.
