£20 “prepayment” was never deducted – very poor experience

I booked a car through Indigo Car Hire in August 2026. During the booking process, I was asked to pay £20 over the phone. I was clearly told that this was a rental part prepayment and that the £20 would be deducted from the final amount when I collected the car.
That did not happen.
When I collected the vehicle, the full amount was charged and the £20 was not deducted. I have proof of the payment, which clearly shows “Rental Part Prepayment”.
After returning from my holiday, I contacted Indigo Car Hire to raise the issue. Instead of simply addressing the missing £20, I felt that I was being questioned about why I had not contacted them immediately while I was away.
For me, this is not acceptable. I paid £20 on the clear understanding that it would be credited towards the rental, and it was not.
The whole experience felt misleading and, frankly, like a scam.
I would not book with Indigo Car Hire again. In my case, the actual vehicle was supplied by Enterprise, so I would strongly prefer to book directly with Enterprise next time rather than use Indigo as an intermediary.

Reply from Indigo Car Hire

Hi Mirco,

Thank you for your feedback.

I can see that my colleague Matt attempted to contact you by telephone and left you a voicemail.

We have a copy of the final rental invoice.

The additional charge was due to you choosing to add EXS – Excess Protection, which reduced the damage excess payable should the vehicle have been damaged during the rental.

Looking at the base rental rate, excluding the optional extras selected at the desk, the amount charged is correct and matches the amount you were expecting to pay on arrival.

For clarity, your invoice shows the following:

Net Rental Rate: £140.48
RFL (Road Fund Licence): £16.20
VAT: £20.00
Total Base Rate: £188.04
(Matches the amount you were quoted to pay on arrival)

With regard to our previous comment about contacting us sooner, this was simply because had you called our office at the time of collection, we would have been able to explain the additional options available and ensure you were completely clear on what you were choosing before signing the rental agreement. It is certainly something worth bearing in mind for any future rental.

I hope this helps to clarify the charges. Of course, we are more than happy to discuss this with you over the phone if you would prefer. We genuinely value our customers and never like to leave anyone feeling unhappy or unclear about their rental.

My direct email if you want to have a conversation is below.

Kind regards,

Cherie Carter

Sam excellent agent / good car deal

Sam was a superb customer agent. He really knew his job so well and I was so taken aback by the deal I got renting a car for Cape Town .
Most rentals now require credit card which I don’t have. Only a debit - but he fixed me up with a car company that accepts debit. Very grateful.

I requested an offer on a Sunday night...

I requested an offer on a Sunday night to rent a car for 9 days. Their reply and offer came in less than 12 hours from my first contact and their offer was very good with full coverage. Matt Carter, the employee that contacted me and closed the deal with, was very helpful, polite and fast in responses. So far my experience my Indigo Car hire is excellent. They inspire confidence and trust. I'm looking forward to my car renting and my vacations.

So helpful

So helpful, emailed me back and forth and answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. Sam Dobronics couldn't have been more help. I really appreciate it. Helped a really stressful time to feel like smooth sailing. What a credit to the organisation.

Extremely responsive

Extremely responsive, cars booked in minutes at best in class rates without the usual hassle of doing it directly. They manage to easily get cars booked on debit card as well, which is usually very hard to do in Europe.

Very friendly and helpful

I would heartily recommend Indigo Car Hire. I needed a larger car than the one we own, to take some teenagers on a trip. I was quite an annoying customer in that the dates kept changing due to busy schedules, unexpected school commitments, etc. and in the end I even cancelled, after I was able to borrow a car from a friend. However, throughout the process, whether I dealt with Jake, Matt, Louis or Cherie, I was only met with the friendliest of service - prompt, whichever time I contacted them, very helpful, and always searching for the best deal for me. Next time I need to hire a car, I will definitely be using Indigo.

Life-saving service from Indigo Car

Life-saving service from Indigo Car! We were given false information by Europcar, which meant we were stranded in Scotland without transportation. Indigo Car sorted us out SO quickly and smoothly. Really incredible service. Big shout out to Cherie, who was so diligent and hardworking. THANK YOU!
