I don’t usually post negative reviews, but I want to warn others about my experience with @CheapTickets and @RoutesCarRental so you don’t lose money like I did. 🧵 #TravelWarning
Then she told me the insurance I bought from @CheapTickets wouldn’t be accepted and I’d have to request a refund. That felt off, but we had no choice, so we signed the paperwork and left.
Bottom line:
I paid for a reservation & insurance that weren’t used
My friend got charged again
Both companies deflected blame
I won’t trust @CheapTickets or @RoutesCarRental again—and I hope this saves you from the same. #TravelScam#CarRental#CheapTickets
I reached out to Cheap Tickets. Their reply? A generic email so lazy it still said “[Brand]” where the rental company name should be. No help, no ownership, no refund.
The agent said that was fine but would have to list my friend as the main driver and add me as secondary. I agreed—as long as it stayed on my reservation. She said yes.
That’s not enough time to rebook. My friend agreed to use his card for the deposit. At Routes in Chicago, I explained the car was paid for, and we just needed to use his card for the hold.
I booked a rental through Cheap Tickets, looked for “no credit card required,” and paid extra for full coverage. Two days before the trip, they emailed me saying a credit card would now be required.
Just posted a tweet on this. But i will clarify further, we’re exploring a more focused use case for this project and because of this it’s taking more time to settle certain aspects such as the website, whitepaper roadmap and so on. Join the discord, we have big things planned.
Following a recent incident in the GA community, Austin has been focusing on how aircraft icing effects performance in flight. He has used these findings to better equip X-Plane to train pilots on how to handle this situation in real life. https://t.co/Yn3gJSW2zO
