Dear customer,
We sincerely apologize for your disappointment regarding the scooter rental situation through Viator. We would like to clarify that the rental conditions are clearly specified in the product description, and one of the essential requirements is the possession of a credit card.
We understand that the situation may seem stringent, but it is important to emphasize that the 100% penalty for cancellation made one hour after the start of the rental is a standard practice. When a scooter is booked, it is reserved for the customer and cannot be rented to others. This results in a potential loss of revenue for us, which is why a penalty is applied for late cancellations.
We want to emphasize that we work with scooters and must carefully manage reservations to ensure efficient and satisfactory service. If all customers were to cancel at the last minute, it would compromise our ability to provide a quality service.
As mentioned, the cancellation request was received one hour after the start of the rental. This makes it challenging for us to rearrange the availability of the scooter for other customers, thereby increasing the impact of the cancellation on our business.
In the future, we recommend reading the booking conditions carefully, and if any unforeseen circumstances arise, please contact us promptly to discuss possible solutions and avoid the application of penalties.
If you have any further questions, we are available to discuss them.
Have a great day.
