Auting scammed us and they re racist

Auting scammed us and they re racist. They straight up told us they re gonna cancel our ride 2 hours before pick up because we are romanians. Do not trust this app! It was the auting team who did this to us, not the owner of the car.

Dear Stefan, David, Ghiulai or Alex,

Auting applies the same rules and requirements to all users, regardless of their nationality or background.

The Drivers must be at least 21 years old and have held a valid driving licence for a minimum of 3 years.

In your case, the initial booking did not meet these requirements.
Subsequently, despite repeated communications with our Customer Service team, during which we clearly explained that the vehicle must be driven exclusively by the person who made the reservation, you requested to the Owner to hand over the vehicle to third parties who were not the authorised Drivers on the reservation.

Our Customer Service team intervened solely to enforce these rules and ensure the safety of everyone involved. The cancellation had absolutely nothing to do with your nationality.

Discrimination has no place on our platform, and we firmly reject such serious and misleading public accusations.

MOST IMPORTANT: YOU'LL BE FULLY REFUNDED, as we already told you.
So there is no scam other than you booking cars for unknown third persons.

Our rules apply equally to everyone, without exception.

The Auting Team

Formal Complaint Regarding the Car…

Formal Complaint Regarding the Car Owner’s Conduct and the Rental Platform’s Shortcomings

We returned the rental vehicle 9 days earlier than the originally agreed return date. Prior to returning the vehicle, we had reached an agreement with the owner that a portion of the rental payment would be refunded for the unused rental period.

Unfortunately, despite this agreement, the owner failed to refund the agreed amount and subsequently blocked me, preventing any further communication.

Furthermore, I was extremely disappointed with the limitations of your rental platform. The application did not provide an appropriate option to cancel or modify the reservation, nor did it allow me to submit a review or report the situation properly.

Another serious concern was the owner's behaviour throughout the rental period. We felt that our activities and use of the vehicle were being monitored on a daily basis, raising significant concerns about our privacy and whether such monitoring was justified or appropriate.

I am deeply disappointed by both the owner's unprofessional conduct and the platform's apparent lack of effective mechanisms to protect customers' rights and interests.

I sincerely hope that the platform's management will investigate this matter, review the owner's failure to honour the refund agreement, and provide a clear explanation regarding the monitoring of customers and the protection of their privacy.

In my opinion, this experience raises serious concerns about the reliability, transparency, and professionalism of the service.

I would appreciate a formal response and an appropriate resolution to this matter, including the refund that was previously agreed upon.

Hi, we are sorry to hear about your experience.

We have already provided a detailed response by email.

Neither you nor the Owner notified Auting of the early return or your refund agreement before the reservation ended.
We first received this information on 27 October, four days after its scheduled end.
The original reservation dates and amount therefore remained unchanged.

A private and not communicated agreement between an Owner and a Driver, of course, does not automatically update the booking settings on the platform.

The platform provides a reporting function within each reservation: the 'REPORT A PROBLEM' button sends a notification directly to customer service.

Also customer service contact details are available in several places across the platform, including the Help section within your reservation in the app, the insurance page and the FAQ pages.

Our team is available by phone and WhatsApp Monday to Friday, 9:00–18:00, and can be contacted by email outside those hours, on weekends and on public holidays.

Again we never received any notification from you till October 27.

The refund commitment was made directly by the Owner without Auting’s involvement. Any refund promised by the Owner must be arranged directly with them.

Under our published procedures, we do not mediate disputes concerning private agreements brought to our attention only after a reservation has ended.

Our records show that you successfully submitted a review of the Owner on Auting, as well as this review of our platform on Trustpilot.
You were therefore able to post reviews, contrary to what you stated in your review.

We are discovering through your review also your concern about possible monitoring, that was not mentioned in your complaint email.
You can send us the specific messages or incidents that raised this concern so that we can assess the circumstances and determine what action may be appropriate.

Regards

We had an excellent experience with…

We had an excellent experience with Auting. The whole process was simple, clear and well organised. Francesco was very friendly, helpful and attentive throughout, making both the pick-up and return of the car easy and convenient. He also gave us some great local recommendations, which we really enjoyed. The car was in very good condition and everything went smoothly. Highly recommended!

Best possible experience

First things first: Auting is amazing value. Second, there is no attempt to scam you, like the major firms do, with massive deposits or retained credit cards to cover false claims of damage; and finally, you deal with real people and not corporate bots. I would use Auting again in a flash, and I intend to.

Each 'host' is different, obviously (they're just regular people renting out their car) but in my case both the car and the owner were impeccable. The big companies should be very worried: this is the future of car rental!!!

Great service

Great service. Once you get in contact with a car owner, the process is very smooth. I had no problems with my car rental. The only challenge is getting the car owners to respond to your request. I requested 18 cars and only got responses on two of them.

Terrific experience…

Terrific experience renting from Auting. I’ve used Turo in the US previously and this was even better. Paolo the car owner was absolutely fantastic, and I’ll definitely rent from him again if I’m in Catania in the future.

Excellent service for renting a car in Italy

I booked a car through Auting, a Fiat Panda. Never use Auting before and was a bit apprehensive, I just come back from my holidays in Italy, and the whole booking was perfect, since my first search in Auting, the booking, the communication with the owner, receiving the car, instruction, leaving the car, everything was quick and very organised, very professional, communication with the owner was perfect and they always answer immediately, as for the car, it work well, absolutely no issues, will definitely use it again, and it is very recomended.

The app works great

The app works great, it offers piece of mind for both the driver and the owner. I with that the app would scale much larger to allow more flexibility, more competitive prices and more variety. In my last experience I had the option to choose from less than 10 cars, out of which 1 responded. Make it a better business for your car owners and customers.
