点评:Our experience with this boat rental company was disappointing and frustrating,
As we were heading back to the drop-off point, the company remotely cut the power to our engine without any warning. This left us stranded on the water, trying to figure out what had happened. The engine was cut off precisely at the end of our scheduled time, despite the fact that we had boarded the boat a few minutes late due to no fault of our own. We were never informed that the engine would be shut off if we were late, nor that the boat was scheduled for immediate use after our rental.
Secondly, when our boat was disabled, we tried multiple times to contact the company for assistance. We were not given a specific customer service number, and the numbers provided on their website were ineffective. We made several failed calls before finally reaching someone. It's worth noting that despite having our email on file, the company never reached out to us to inform us about the status of the boat.
The confusion and stress caused by the engine shutdown and lack of communication led us to make a wrong turn on our way back to town, further delaying our return. We wish the company’s representative could have alerted us to our mistake sooner.
Finally, we were surprised to learn that the company kept our entire deposit due to the lateness (this was not communicated at all; they simply kept the money). We understand penalties for being late, but the amount they withheld was higher than what we paid for the entire excursion. This is disproportionate to their hourly rates and feels like an unfair and predatory practice. In conclusion, we advise others to be aware of these elements to the rental in advance of booking.
翻译:我们与这家船舶租赁公司的合作经历令人失望和沮丧,
当我们返回下船点时,该公司在没有任何警告的情况下远程切断了我们发动机的电源。这让我们被困在水上,试图弄清楚发生了什么。发动机在我们预定时间结束时精确地关闭了,尽管我们上船晚了几分钟,但这不是我们的错。我们从未被告知如果我们迟到发动机就会关闭,也没有被告知这艘船计划在我们租完后立即使用。
其次,当我们的船无法使用时,我们多次尝试联系该公司寻求帮助。我们没有得到具体的客户服务号码,他们网站上提供的号码也无效。我们打了好几次电话才终于联系上一个人。值得注意的是,尽管有我们的电子邮件记录,但该公司从未联系我们告知我们船的状态。
发动机关闭和缺乏沟通造成的混乱和压力导致我们在回城的路上走错了路,进一步推迟了我们的回程。我们希望公司的代表能早点提醒我们我们的错误。
最后,我们惊讶地得知,由于我们迟到,公司扣留了我们的全部押金(根本没有通知我们;他们只是扣留了钱)。我们理解迟到的惩罚,但他们扣留的金额高于我们为整个旅行支付的金额。这与他们的小时费率不成比例,感觉像是一种不公平和掠夺性的做法。总之,我们建议其他人在预订之前了解租赁的这些要素。
