点评:Serious issue with Vietnam Trust Car Rental (Dalat/ Ha Noi, Vietnam) – deposit never returned from Mr. Pham.
I want to share my experience so that other travellers are aware before booking with Vietnam Trust Car Rental.
The company charged a full deposit of USD 1,554 to my card at the start of the rental (this was not just a hold). The amount was withdrawn from my account immediately.
During the rental period, our car was involved in an accident caused by a drunk driver coming from the opposite direction. All damages were fully paid on the spot by the at‑fault driver’s family and insurance company, confirmed in the official report and signed settlement documents.
Despite this, the company has not refunded my deposit, even after numerous reminders and clear proof that the repair costs were covered in full.
Their communication has been inconsistent, and as of now, the deposit remains withheld without justification.
After months of unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue, I’ve started formal procedures through ASEAN consumer channels and EU claim platforms, with legal assistance to recover my funds.
I find it very disappointing that a travel service provider operates this way.
I strongly advise future travellers to be very cautious when renting from this company, especially regarding how deposits are charged and refunded
翻译:与越南Trust租车公司(大叻/河内,越南)的严重纠纷——范先生的押金至今未退还。
我想分享我的经历,以便其他旅客在预订越南Trust租车公司之前有所了解。
租车开始时,该公司从我的信用卡中扣除了1554美元的全额押金(并非预授权)。这笔款项立即从我的账户中扣除。
租车期间,我们的车发生了一起交通事故,肇事司机是酒后驾驶,从对面驶来。所有损失均由肇事司机的家人和保险公司当场全额支付,官方报告和签署的赔偿文件均已确认。
尽管如此,该公司仍未退还我的押金,即使我多次催促并提供维修费用已全额支付的明确证据。
他们的沟通前后矛盾,至今押金仍被无故扣留。
经过数月尝试解决问题均未成功后,我已通过东盟消费者渠道和欧盟索赔平台启动正式程序,并寻求法律援助以追回我的款项。
我对这家旅行服务提供商的经营方式感到非常失望。
我强烈建议未来的旅行者在选择这家公司租车时务必谨慎,尤其要注意押金的收取和退还方式。
