Obviously they don’t refund and they tell you that just after you purchase. -- rad9120, 2024-12-15 ### *---- "Very disappointed" Prices claimed to be cheap and then when I joined they went way up! Took my £9.49 off me and then when I tried to book a car the credit wouldn’t come off. I’ll stick with zipcar -- RollingstonezZz, 2024-11-17 ### *---- "iOS 18" Dark mode icon please! -- Matt Ledger, 2024-10-27 ### ***** "Miss" Amazing service! Really convenient -- twi bible, 2024-09-20 ### **--- "Bad first experience" Hired without issue. On the morning was alerted the hire would start soon. No location information was available and so had difficulty finding the car. Owner never replied. Then when trying to connect, the app crashed multiple times. Live chat with an agent revealed the tracking tech had been unresponsive for three days and so they believed the car had been tampered with. It would have been nice to know that there was a problem with my hire three days ago so I could have made alternative plans. The app should notify users when there is an issue. 2 stars only because I was refunded and credited £15 on the spot. I can see how it works for most, but unfortunately my first experience was a circus. -- Jozorio, 2024-08-17 ### ***** "Harry Botonakis" Great app easy to follow -- Fshsjsksbd, 2024-08-11 ### *---- "Infuriating" The search function in this app is so incredibly infuriating. It fails to hold or remember your location, pick up date/time and drop off date/time, requiring you to repeatedly enter it over and over again. You can’t check a car in or out if you have no network (e.g. in an underground car park). -- artfulrodger, 2024-07-15 ### ****- "Lovely drive" This car is very nippy and god on fuel and would definitely hire it again. My only issue was the last person to use it, left it dirty inside. An due to the time I bought it back (00:34) I could not hoover & clean the interior and made me feel bad. Because whoever has it next , have the same dirty car . So I must say ….. sorry . -- £££££££££&&, 2024-06-22 ### ****- "Good app" Air bnb for cars Can you make it more simple to see what I paid for a book please. Or where invoices are kept, or something -- exitium88, 2024-05-18 ### *---- "STAY AWAY" Especially from the auto lock vehicles. The Bluetooth connection WILL fail and you WILL need to speak to customer service over live chat every time you want to start the engine. They do not take 3 mins to get back to you, they take an hour each time. -- uansett, 2024-05-10 ### ***** "👌" 👌👌👌👌 -- eveaction, 2024-04-28 ### *---- "No luck with hiring a van - problems with app and vendors" I signed up and paid the fee to check over documentation. When it actually came to hiring a van, one of the vendors was sending me messages that I couldn’t read (just kept getting notifications that he’d sent a message, but could not see any text), and the other vendor told me it was too short notice to book the van, despite him having the van available to book. I gave up in the end and just went to Enterprise. Waste of a tenner. -- Andy.Green, 2024-04-12 ### *---- "Waste of time" Booked a hire in St Andrews to pick up as I got off sleeper train early morning, only to receive a notification at 4am that the booking was cancelled. Tried to book another but this was never responded to by the owner. So left with no car at all. Suggest booking via a bigger company if you want to guarantee to get a car. It also took several attempts contacting them to get the refund paid 10 days later. -- SerenastrA, 2024-03-11 ### ***** "First Hiya Try" I would recommend Rosalind as a helpful owner having helped with the quick start process of the car and her car itself which is super fuel efficient! -- @Philippe, 2024-02-18 ### ***** "Fantastic experience" Fantastic experience -- Abbzzyyy, 2024-01-13 ### *---- "Not A Good Customer Service" It first charges the money, then identifies the person. And if you cannot get identified, there is no refund. There’s refund on almost literally on anything, this is a neat way to scam. I have my license from another country for 14 years, I’m just waiting for my UK license to arrive, it’s on the post and I have the paper certificate, I’m still told that I cannot be identified and cannot be refunded. Is this how this company makes money? Very unprofessional. -- pink_aaalz, 2023-12-21 ### *---- "Ridiculous policy!" To cut it short, I was able to register and rent out with zipcar with my current situation regarding 1. I cancel my insurance after i lost my car before due to car accident because or mechanical issue and never bought a new one again at the moment. Judgemental policies. Zipcar is way better and easier to rent out. I also don’t have issues renting out from sixt or any care rental companies. Hiyacar is acting like they are “so well known car rental company” for this over the top crappy policies. Disgusting. -- Choy Noble, 2023-12-03 ### *---- "Scam dont pay your money will go" I had to pay money to make an account which gets added as credit but nobody responds on the app so essentially that credit is worthless as you cannot book a car. I got scammed and its non refundable. -- 1_max, 2023-11-03 ### *---- "I lost £10 with this app" They require you to pay £10 to sign up and for whatever reason your account is not accepted they refuse to refund the initial costs. -- London coder, 2023-09-25 ### ***** "Mr M" First time I tried it. Smooth as a whistle. Easy process and good not to travel mikes away to get to a rental car -- Jambon0007, 2023-08-28 [View all Hiyacar reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Hiyacar Discovered Keywords -
