What can I do?
It is important to let us know that you are unhappy and to give us the chance to put things right. Don’t be afraid to speak to a member of staff on site – she or he might be able to sort out the problem straight away, or if not, they might be able to introduce you to someone who can. If you are still not satisfied, you should move to the formal process.
Making a formal complaint
There are several ways to make a complaint. You can contact us on the phone or face to face, or you can send your enquiry to us in a letter or an email to [email protected]. Upon receipt, Cartime will refer your complaint to the individual/department best equipped to respond to your complaint.
Your complaint will be thoroughly investigated and Cartime will provide you with the outcome of such investigations as soon as possible (please allow 7-10 working days for a formal written response). Where appropriate, you will receive details of any proposed action to resolve the reported issues and if necessary, you will be given an apology.
If you are not satisfied with the response provided by Cartime, you may be entitled to refer your complaint to AA Cars or the Financial Ombudsman Service.
