Car on the drive have gone out of business :(

I’ve just received an email from car on the drive to say that they’ve gone out of business.
Another casualty of Covid.
Unfortunately they can’t give any refunds either.
Thankfully we only paid a $100 deposit.

I don't wish bad luck or financial issues on anybody and I know this Company and their business model suited a few on here.

However I could never get my head around the fact they didn't have an online pricing menu.
No way do I E Mail for a quote.

I also remember myself and another well respected Car Forum Dibber were discussing them a few years ago on here and they came online and were damn rude even though I quoted off their FAQ's!

OP. I hope you get your deposit back as they should have protected that money. Unacceptable if they haven't.

I'm no expert on this but I think a CC claim has to be over £100. Maybe somebody else knows more.

I used them once when the kids were very little and I didn’t want a drive with knackered little ones. Have to say the service they provided was excellent - clearly more expensive than “normal” car hire but that’s not comparing apples with apples. Peter who ran the company (don’t know if he was still in charge near the end) was a nice guy. Always sad when any business folds especially if COVID is the reason.

I also used them on my first trip and they were fantastic. They provided a premium service for which I was quite happy to pay a premium. I’m sorry to hear of their demise.

I'm so sad to hear this, we have used their service for our holidays and the service was amazing and completely took away any stress even more so for our disabled son.

Really feel for Peter and Wendy

I was very sorry to hear the news too. I really liked the service - it suited my needs very well and Peter and Wendy were so kind and helpful - especially when I was travelling with my disabled mum.
