Review of Yescapa


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Not bad but getting better

My experience is from a renters point of view. Positives are that the website functions well & bookings are high in demand, I was very impressed with the instant & constant amount of requests I had for last summer, I had many options of renters to choose from, simply fantastic. Negatives are that the company are not very efficient nor experienced when there is a problem, mixed information is received & the process with insurance is very long & repetitive. Like I say they are not bad as you get there in the end but they definitely don't make the process easy for you. One example of a few - I recently received a speeding fine for a date within a rented period, I informed yescapa & was told to pay the fine myself & the renter will reimburse me. I found this absurd advice as this would inevitably equal me taking the penalty point on my license. I contacted the renter directly, requesting standard information needed to have the fine re-addressed to him. Basically, I had to research myself & tell yescapa what is needed to be done. My advice is that it's best to communicate with the renter directly & sort everything out between you as yescapa are not knowledgeable of protocols in other countries even though they do business in them, you simply can't rely on yescapa for good guidance. However, the staff are always friendly & try to help, its just a shame they are not trained enough.

Hi Holly. Thank you for leaving a review. Glad to hear your experience has been good so far with Yescapa appart from the issue you had recently. Under Article 4.4 of Yescapa's T&C's "In the event of a fine received by the renter during the rental period, the renter shall take full and complete responsibility". It is advised for the vehicle owner to pay a fine up front to avoid it increasing, as it may take a bit of time for the renter to settle it. This is standard procedure for the majority of fines (tolls, parking etc). However as a penalty point was concerned in this case, it was necessary to re-address the fine and contact the agency that issued it. You were subsecuently advised to do this and the issue was sorted, but you should have been advised to do this from the start and the standard information required to re-address the fine should have been provided to you directly from Yescapa. Our apologies for any frustration caused. Efforts will be made to communicate clearer guidlines regarding fines going forward to avoid any confusion.Best regards.
