On December 17, 2024, I booked an ** rental through RVezy for an upcoming trip. On December 19, 2024, RVezy emailed me to inform me that my husband (the primary driver) was ineligible to drive the ** due to a minor fender ****** within the last 6 years.I immediately attempted to cancel the reservation on December 20, 2024. However, RVezy customer service informed me that I would be liable for the $217 "service fee and taxes"RVezy is attempting to retain taxes associated with the reservation, even though the reservation was ultimately canceled and therefore no longer subject to taxation.I believe this constitutes an unfair business practice as the service fee was charged for a service that ultimately could not be fulfilled due to their own screening process.After filing a successful chargeback with my bank, RVezy sent a threatening email stating I need to reverse the chargeback or they will "be obligated to forward the outstanding debt to our collections agency. All legal and credit implications will apply to your outstanding debt. This action will be reported to the relevant business bureaus, which may significantly impact your credit rating and standing with other businesses."This threatening behavior is unacceptable and further demonstrates a lack of customer respect and ethical business practices.SUMMARY: Driver verification can take up to 24 hours. This seems deliberate to trap customers into paying fees even when the rental becomes impossible.Requested Resolution:* Cease all attempts to collect the $217 service fee and "taxes", including any further communication regarding this matter.* Immediately cease all threats of legal action and cease any further communication regarding this matter.* Acknowledge the bank's decision in the chargeback and accept the outcome of the dispute.* Review and revision of their driver screening process, cancellation policies, and tax calculations to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future.Business Response

Dear Brendie,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns with us. We understand how frustrating this experience has been for you, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns directly.
We want to clarify the timeline and decisions surrounding your booking:
Booking and Cancellation Timeline: Your booking was confirmed on December 18, 2024, at 12:37 AM. The 24-hour ***** period for cancellations ended on December 19, 2024, at 12:37 AM. The second ****** application for Mr. **** ***** was initiated after this period and was unfortunately denied due to non-compliance with our safety standards. Its important to note that your booking was fully set to go with you already confirmed as an approved ******. While you ultimately chose to cancel the booking, the forfeiture amount was clearly presented for your review before finalizing the cancellation.
Reason for Cancellation and Resolution Opportunities: We understand that Mr. ******* ****** application denial influenced your decision to cancel. While we did not receive any communication from you seeking assistance before the cancellation, had you reached out, we could have explored options to help, such as offering credits for future use. Despite this, during our discussions about your chargeback with the bank, we still offered to provide the forfeited amount in RVezy credits if the chargeback was dropped.
Chargeback and Collections Process: Regarding your concerns about our communication related to the chargeback, please understand that our intention is simply to ensure awareness and understanding of the terms outlined in our Terms of Service. Our cancellation policy and procedures, including the steps involving collections, are designed to ensure consistency and fairness for all users. These communications are meant to clarify the standard procedures we follow to uphold the terms accepted at booking, not to be threatening.
We appreciate your feedback and are committed to clear and transparent communication. Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions or need assistance.
Thank you for your understanding.Warm regards,
**** W

Complaint: 22786244
I am rejecting this response because:* There was no offer for credit until after the collection threatening email was sent and I formally challenged the charge.
* The communication from multiple agents gave no recourse, suggestions or alternatives. I was given blanketed and vague information.
* I maintain the very short window (24 hours) intentionally puts the customer at a disadvantage of setting up the reservation, getting drivers approved and finishing. This almost guarantees the customer uses the entire ******** and ********************** essentially charges the a hidden application fee.
* RVezy has not clarified what "tax" is being paid for this cancelled reservation. When a customer returns a product and requests a refund, you're not only refunding the item's cost but also the tax you initially collected from them
* RVezy has not clarified whether they are accepting the bank's decision or will continue to dispute

Dear Brendie,
Thank you for your continued engagement on this matter. We appreciate the opportunity to address the points you've raised and clarify any misunderstandings.
Cancellation Window and Policies: We understand your concern about the 24-hour ***** ****** for cancellations. However, it's important to clarify that the ***** ****** had already passed before the second ****** application was started. Thus, the position of forfeiting service fees and tax would have been the same even if **** ******* ****** application had never begun. The ***** ****** is intended to provide a fair opportunity to change or cancel a booking soon after its confirmation without penalties; however, once this ****** elapses, standard policy terms apply.Tax Clarification: The tax in question is applied to the service fee, which is a non-refundable part of the cancellation policy you agreed to at booking. Service fees are taxable, and our policy is consistent with industry practices regarding refunds on cancelled services.
Chargeback Dispute: RVezy plans to pursue our right to dispute the chargeback in hopes of a favorable resolution. We are guided by our Terms of Service, which aim to treat both parties fairly, and unfortunately, this means we must uphold these standards even amid disagreements.
We understand how disappointing this outcome has been and are committed to refining our processes and communication where possible, thanks to feedback like yours. Please feel free to reach out directly if you would like to discuss any further specifics or need additional clarification.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Complaint: 22786244
I am rejecting this response because:
1. Lack of Tax Clarity
RVezy still fails to provide a clear and detailed breakdown of the $217.20 charge.
Specifically, they have not:
1) Identified the specific tax they are collecting from consumers.
2) Specified the government agency (County, State, or Federal) receiving the tax revenue.3 ) In *****************, Businesses are legally obligated to display an items sales tax on whichever transaction system they use. Please identify what tax was collected from the $217.20
California law explicitly restricts the application of sales or use tax to tangible personal property. As there was no transfer of property in this transaction, the imposition of a tax is likely unlawful. As a ***************** RVezy Inc. may not be fully aware of the specific nuances of California tax law.
2. LACK OF and Potential Violation of SB 478:
* RVezy Inc. still fails to provide a clear and detailed breakdown of the $217.20 charge, specifically differentiating between tax and service fees.
* This lack of transparency raises concerns about potential violations of California Senate Bill 478, which prohibits the use of "hidden fees" for goods and services, effective July 1, 2024.3. Request for Resolution and Revised Billing Practices:
I request that RVezy Inc.:
* Provide me a detailed breakdown of all charges, including taxes and service fees.
*Revise their billing practices to provide clear and transparent information to California consumers.* Drop this matter
I believe that clear and transparent billing practices are essential for consumer trust and confidence. I urge the Better Business Bureau to assist in conveying this message to RVezy Inc. and facilitating a resolution that prioritizes consumer protection and compliance with California law.
Sincerely,

Please see attached. Based on the information provided by the business - it appears they are willingly breaking California tax code. This information needs to be reflected in the business profile. A company cannot charge sales tax on a "service charge" and the business refused to provide an explanation after multiple requests.Initial Complaint

Our motorhome was rented to a party from July *****, 2024. The party was accommodated and given a free night's rental and free delivery to their home. this occurred on July 18th. Just prior to renting the unit, it was retrieved from the dealership service department. the vehicle was returned extremely late, the night of the 25th, long after dark. immediately, crash damage was noted and an insurance claim was filed with RVezy. RVezy denied the insurance claim. They were provided before and after photos of the motorhome as well as, a digitally signed rental agreement, stating that the renters accepted the motorhome for rent, with no damage. Furthermore, a statement was provided by the dealership stating that the motorhome had zero damage. RVezy still denied the claim.Business Response

Dear ****,
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns regarding the denial of your insurance claim. We understand how frustrating this situation must be, and we want to clarify the reasoning behind our decision.
Unfortunately, no departure (before) photos were provided to document the condition of your motorhome prior to the rental. These photos are a critical part of our claims process, as they allow us to verify the vehicles condition before the rental begins. Without them, we were unable to substantiate the damage you reported, including the rear damage and electrical issues. As a result, we had no choice but to deny the claim due to the lack of necessary evidence.
We truly value your partnership with RVezy and are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. If you have any additional information or questions, please dont hesitate to reach outwere here to help.
Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate having you as part of the RVezy community.

Rented an RV for Aug 9-12 inclusive, returned same the afternoon of August 11. Tried to leave a review as owner was very pleasant although experience was fraught with problems. Discovered could not leave review until owner has. Went to see if damage deposit had been returned on Wednesday. Damage deposit was more than twice the total rent and was not a hold on my card but had been removed from the account. Called the number to find out what was up. Was told would not return until up to 21 days after the rentals last date. This is fraudulent use of my money as I will pay interest on my card while they collect interest from itBusiness Response

Hello *****************,
I wanted to update you regarding your recent booking with us. As stated on our website, we authorize a security deposit for the duration of the trip until the booking has been closed. This process ensures that both parties have completed the necessary inspections and that no damages have been reported. Both guests and hosts have a fair window of up to 7 days to leave their respective reviews, which also affects the timing of the security deposit release. Please note that the security deposit is an authorization (a hold) on your credit card, not a charge.
I wanted to inform you that the booking has now been closed, and the security deposit authorization has been released. You should see this authorization drop off your credit card statement within the next 5-10 business days. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team.
Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your continued trust in our services.

Date: 31/07/2024
Dear ******,
We received your updated complaint on the Better Business Bureau platform, and we would like to take the time to address your concerns.
As a peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace, we prioritize the well-being and satisfaction of both our hosts and renters. In your case, we made every effort to assist with your initial claim, maintaining open communication with you throughout the process. Our goal was to resolve the matter as efficiently as possible.
However, we can only proceed with an insurance claim when there is adequate documentation to prove the cause of loss. Despite guidance from our claims agent, we did not receive pre-trip inspection photos that would have demonstrated the condition of your trailer before the rental began. As you know, these photos are essential in accurately assessing a claim and assigning responsibility.
Due to the lack of sufficient documentation, we were unable to establish the cause of loss, resulting in the closure of your claim. We apologize for any frustration this may have caused, but please note that the transparency and fairness of the claims process is of the utmost importance to us. It is our responsibility to maintain the integrity of our platform and ensure that all parties involved are protected.
We appreciate your feedback, and want you to know that your experience is valuable for improving our processes in the future. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team.

17/07/24 RV delivered, by the owner, to our house, at 9:30pm the day before our reservation was to begin. It was dirty and, in our opinion, unsafe (propane stove) and, when asked about the awning, the owner said it did not work. When we expressed concern, Owner said "we can cancel the reservation". In my opinion he thought, at this late date, with plans made, we would decline. But we decided to be safe and accept his offer. We immediately cancelled campground bookings, and notified RVExy requesting full refund, including the owner's exact words when he offered to cancel. July 19, received email, "RVezy will issue you a refund in the mount of $1445.95 as outlined in our Cancellation Policy" and they credited our card that amount. Next day July 20, RVezy said that owner was "not wiling to cancel" that he denied saying he would cancel, and unless we had audio proof of owner's statements, and photos, RVezy would not fully refund. The credit disappeared from our credit card. After that, they refunded $763.05 and kept $727.99 We remain concerned that the owner's directions to remove the top of the stove and dismantle the propane pipes (that's the condition when he delivered it, he said to prevent rattling when travelling) is a serious safety issue and, since he denies everything else, he probably denies that too. Somebody might die. We ask for the remainder of our money back. RVezy will not allow us to post a review on their site.Business Response

Dear ******,
Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your concerns. At RVezy, our primary goal is to ensure that both our guests and hosts have a positive and enjoyable experience using our platform. We take all customer concerns seriously and appreciate the opportunity to address the issues you've raised in your complaint.
We apologize for the unfortunate circumstances that led to the cancellation of your reservation. We understand how disappointing and frustrating it can be when your plans do not pan out as expected. We take safety very seriously on our platform, and the information you shared about the propane stove has been noted for further investigation.
Upon receiving your complaint, we thoroughly reviewed your case and took appropriate action based on the information provided. However, we found there was no evidence documenting the host's agreement to cancel, or proof that the ** was in the condition stated.
In a situation where we cannot substantiate guest claims, we must abide by our established policies and protect the interests of both parties involved. We were, therefore, required to process the cancellation from your end, following our standard cancellation policy. As a result, we applied the policy, which entitled you to a partial refund, while the host received their portion of the booking payout.
Despite the lack of evidence, we acknowledged the inconvenience you experienced and chose to offer you an additional refund covering our service fees and taxes. Our aim with this decision was to demonstrate our commitment to customer satisfaction while maintaining fairness towards our hosts who rely on our platform for their businesses.
Once again, we apologize for the unfavorable situation and the negative impact it had on your plans. We wish to assure you that we are continuously working to improve our processes and ****** positive experiences for everyone involved in our peer-to-peer marketplace.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Customer Success team at ****************. We are here to help you and hope we can provide you with a better experience in the future.

I am rejecting this response because: It dies not acknowledge the facts. The host initiated the cancellation. We accepted his offer. We did not record the conversation on our driveway . Normal people don't do that . We did not expect the host to lie.. RVezy first sent an email advising a full refund, then cancelled the card credit and finally withheld almost 50% of our payment because they believe the host. The host is not telling the truth. . I continue to request that RVezy comply with their email saying we would receive a full refund, as well as the opportunity to post a review

Dear ******,
Thank you for providing further feedback on our response to your complaint. We apologize if our previous response did not adequately address your concerns. At RVezy, our primary focus is on supporting our customers, operating with fairness, and upholding our policies.
You mentioned receiving an email stating that you would receive a 100% refund for your booking. Upon reviewing our communication records, we could not find any such email sent from our support team. We kindly request that you provide a copy of the email you received in order to help us properly assess this aspect of your complaint.
After conducting a comprehensive investigation into your communications with our support team, we'd like to emphasize our commitment to assisting you in this situation. As a goodwill gesture, RVezy offered you over $300 more than you were initially entitled to, in addition to the partial refund based on our cancellation policy. This approach was intended to demonstrate our commitment to your satisfaction while maintaining fairness to all parties involved.
We are aware that this situation has been frustrating and disappointing for you. However, we always strive to operate within the guidelines of our established policies while maintaining fairness towards our guests and hosts alike.

Dear ******,
We appreciate your recent response and understand your frustration. We aim to provide a clear explanation of our refund process and policies.
In your previous response, you claimed to have received an email offering a full refund for the booking cancellation. Our customer support team received this email and promptly responded with clarification regarding the refund amount stated. As we had explained, of the $1445.95 refund amount stated in the email, $445.95 is the partial refund for your rental amount, and $1000 corresponds to the reversal of the security deposit amount held as an authorization. Additionally, we provided an extra $317.10 refund as a goodwill gesture to demonstrate our commitment to your satisfaction.
We understand that our conversation may have appeared repetitive; however, our intent was to provide accurate and clear information to address your concerns. It seemed there might have been a misunderstanding regarding the email and its contents, so we strived to reiterate the correct information and offer clarification. As our positions remain unchanged, we may have reached a point where further discussions may not yield new insights or resolutions.
If you have future questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Customer Success team. We are committed to providing excellent support for all RVezy community members.

I am rejecting this response because: RVezy has never offered a rationale for withholding $1200+ . I agree that further correspondence is not productive. The ** was dirty and unsafe. The tv owner offered to cancel the reservation., and then lied. RVezy kept over $1200 of our deposit. Those are the facts. Nothing that RVezy has said will change the facts, and they will not allow me to post a negative review. But for $1200 I at least get the last word. Now pls have the good manners to just go away.

I paid CAD ****** to rent a camping van for 3 days on Rvezy in May 2023. When we picked up the van, the owner said someone just returned it and he hardly checked the van. During the trip, the van started having some engine issues. Neither of the owner of the van or Rvezy was helpful during the hours they leave me in desperation. Eventually I got pulled over on the highway by ******* RCMP. The police officer informed me that I was [ ILLEGALLY ] driving since the van didnt have ************** covered and I shouldnt pay the rental. RCMP tolled the van immediately and I started disputing with Rvezy on the same day following the police officer's suggestion.The dispute with Rvezy took 3 months. They kept claiming the rental was legal because they have special insurance, which turned out to be a lie according to ICBC agents. They ended up charging me another CAD 500 for the deductible amount of the car rental insurance I purchased earlier. They claimed that I was responsible for the total loss of the van because I broke the engine; which is completely a lie!!! Thus, I called CIBC Mastercard to dispute these two transactions. CIBC Mastercard made the decision of me WINNING the dispute in November 2023.During those 6 months, I was harassed and scammed by **** almost everyday. They sent me email that I have to pay them CAD ****** for the total loss, only with a form of total loss estimate and they would hand it to a collection company.Their email stopped the day I received the bank decision.I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE END OF STORY. Even tho their behavior affected my mental health seriously.However, today, July 11th 2024, I received 2 emails from Rvezy, claiming that I owe them CAD ****** and CAD ******. They also claimed theyve sent the bill to a Collection company.I believe that I was the victim of their illegal rental business and harassment all the time.I am not responsible for any payment and I need a lawyer.I'm tired of the game.Business Response

Dear ******,
Thank you for reaching out and providing your perspective on this matter. I appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.
Firstly, I would like to clarify that driving an RV without insurance is indeed illegal. However, this was not the case for you, as RVezy provided you with insurance coverage for your rental. Therefore, you were covered under our insurance policy during your rental period.
Regarding the issue of entering the wrong fuel in the vehicle, it is important to note that this responsibility falls on the renter. Disputing the charge with your credit card company and refusing to take accountability for this mistake complicates the situation further.
Your statement about the vehicle in BC without ************** coverage and the involvement of RCMP and ICBC has been noted. However, I must reiterate that RVezy's insurance coverage was in place for your rental, and this was communicated to you clearly.
We understand your determination to pursue this matter further and respect your right to do so. We also acknowledge your willingness to negotiate on reasonable grounds, and we are open to finding a fair resolution.
To move forward, I suggest we arrange a meeting with our senior management team to discuss the details and find a mutually agreeable solution. Please let us know your availability, and we will do our best to accommodate it.

Im open for conversation but I feel more comfortable to have it on BBB platform. Ive had lots of email and phone conversations with RVezy over one year, they all ended up with me being threatened and I never feel being respected.
Again, this rental was 100% illegal, which was verified by RCMP and ICBC.

Dear **********,
We acknowledge your email and understand your concerns. However, we need to address several critical points regarding this matter.
Firstly, it is important to highlight that the primary issue stems from the fact that you added the wrong type of fuel to the *** resulting in significant engine damage. This has been substantiated with solid proof, and you signed a contract with RVezy that clearly outlines your responsibilities as a renter. Despite this, you have not taken any responsibility for this incident.
Furthermore, you have disputed charges and have yet to pay for your trip. This leaves us with no alternative but to proceed with sending your case to collections and reporting it to the Better Business Bureau. We cannot overlook the financial and operational impact your actions have had on both the ** owner and RVezy.
We are open to continuing this conversation, but it must be under the premise that you acknowledge and take responsibility for your actions. Until then, we will be moving forward with the necessary steps to address the outstanding charges and damages.

They ultimately ruled in the renters favor after extensive documentation, photos, descriptions and repair invoices that was provided to them. Deceptive business practices that favor renters rather than owners who are forced to take the loss on damages from their customers. OWNERS BEWARE!!Business Response

Dear ******,
We recently received your complaint filed through the Better Business Bureau, and we wanted to promptly address your concerns. We hold the satisfaction and trust of our hosts and renters in the highest regard at RVezy, and as a peer-to-peer RV rental company, our mission is to provide a fair platform for both hosts and renters.
In your case, we conducted a thorough and formal review of the disputed charges. After careful examination of the documentation, photos, and descriptions you provided, we determined that the guest was indeed responsible for some damages. As a result, we upheld the charges for the broken window latch, labor charges, and septic dumping fee, and these amounts have been reimbursed to you.
However, regarding the other charges (broken entry door strut, damaged curtain support brackets, damaged awning arm, severed wires, and additional labor), we were unable to verify or validate your claim due to insufficient evidence. Our policy requires that hosts provide substantial proof, such as formal trip inspection photos or other images with timestamps, to conclusively demonstrate that damage occurred during the rental period. Unfortunately, we did not receive any such documentation in your case.
RVezy is committed to ensuring the fairness and transparency of our dispute resolution process. We understand that our hosts may experience occasional issues with renters. To better safeguard against future disputes, we encourage hosts to adopt best practices such maintaining open communication with renters throughout the rental period, and conducting comprehensive pre-rental inspections, capturing clear photos before and after each rental, which you were prompted to do on the trip start and end date, but failed to complete.
We sincerely apologize for any frustration or inconvenience this situation may have caused. At RVezy, we strive to continuously improve our services and support. If you have further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our customer care team at ******************************** or ****************. We're here to help.
Thank you for your understanding, and for being part of the RVezy community.
Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because:It is important to note, that the only damages you reimbursed me for were the ones that the renter agreed to pay. We submitted photos of both pre trip and post trip for these concerns along with invoices. As a rental platform, the expectation is to have fair and unbiased decisions based on evidence. This clearly was not the case as you have sided with the renter 100% based on your decision. In your response, you claim I failed to provide both pre trip and post trip photos. There is no accuracy in that statement as these were all provided to you upon request.
In good faith and so it is visible to the BBB on the facts of the situation, I have uploaded as many of these pieces of evidence into the form that I was able to. We performed a complete RV inspection prior to this reservation by a third party repair shop. None of these issues were identified prior to the trip or by the renter. We specifically let them know to take as many pictures, test every function and document any issues immediately prior to leaving with the *** The awning not working, a broken strut and broken curtain was never mentioned. The only message we received was about the awning after they traveled over 300 miles to ***** for a music festival where RV's are packed in tightly together. Presumably, the renter damaged the awning on the trip up there, thus the reason it did not work at their destination.
The business practices being carried out by the company are unfair and deceptive to owners on the platform. Our hopes is to warn future owners of this experience prior to them renting RV's out on your platform and for the exposure to be visible on BBB so they are aware.
Respectfully,

Dear ******,
Thank you for your follow-up and for providing additional context regarding your concerns. We understand that you have submitted more evidence to the BBB, and we appreciate your commitment to working through this situation with us. At RVezy, our primary goal is to ****** a fair and transparent platform for both hosts and renters.
We apologize for any confusion regarding the pre-trip and post-trip photos you mentioned in your email. While we did receive some photos, they either did not have timestamps or metadata that could help us verify when they were taken, or were taken outside of the agreed trip dates. This consequently made it challenging for us to conclusively establish whether the damages occurred during the rental period or before or after it. Additionally, we noticed that you did not complete the pre and post trip inspections through our app (see attached screenshot), which ensures that photos are taken on the start and end dates of the trip, as well as allows us to verify the accuracy of these photos.
To address your claim that you submitted pre and post trip inspection photos, we reviewed the case and noticed that the "before" photos for the damaged curtain support bracket and the broken entry door strut were taken on the morning of the trip start date, May 16. However, the photos showing apparent damages were taken the day after the trip ended, on May 22. Concerning the broken awning arm, we did not find any timestamped photos that verified the damage occurred during the trip dates.
Regarding the broken window latch, labor charges, and septic dumping fee, we charged the guest because they admitted to the damages, and in that particular case, we didn't need to rely solely on photo evidence. However, for the other claims, we were unable to hold the renter accountable due to insufficient evidence.
We understand your concerns about the awning not working and the other damages you mentioned; however, without sufficient evidence to support these claims, we are unable to hold the renter accountable for them. In the case of the awning, the renter did inform you on the first day of the trip that it wasn't working, which suggests that the issue may have existed before their rental period.
Going forward, we recommend taking advantage of the pre and post-trip inspection functionality available through the RVezy app. It streamlines the process of capturing and preserving timestamped images before and after each rental, ensuring that any claims for damages can be supported by clear and verifiable documentation.
We understand your dissatisfaction with the outcome of this dispute resolution, but our primary objective is to remain fair and unbiased in our decision-making process. Once again, we apologize for any frustration or inconvenience this has caused you. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further concerns or questions. Our customer care team is available at ********************************, or ****************, and we're always here to help.
Thank you for your understanding and for being part of the RVezy community.

I booked an RV rental from RVezy and then had to cancel it. I cancelled it after just one week from the original booking that I made. The kept $217.40 of my deposit to cover taxes and a service fee.
The booking was for August 11th thru the 15th. They claim that if the booking is cancelled at all they have to refund me is $32.66. They do mention that it is fully refundable as long as it cancelled 30 days before the rental starts. However, they also say that the refund will be minus any taxes and fees. how can the keep taxes for something that was not sold? I also feel that the service fee is very high for one week and with still 4 months before the rental was to be picked up and used.Business Response

Dear *****,
Thank you for reaching out to RVezy regarding your concern.
I understand that you submitted a booking request to your host on March 26, 2024, and provided your credit card details at that time. Upon your host's acceptance of your request on March 28, 2024, we confirmed your booking and charged a 25% deposit to your card.
Our Cancellation Policy includes a 24-hour grace period, allowing guests to cancel a booking within 24 hours of acceptance for a full refund. Unfortunately, your cancellation on April 4, 2024, occurred 7 days after the booking was confirmed, which is beyond this grace period.
According to our Cancellation Policy, cancellations made more than 30 days before the start date of the rental result in a full refund of the deposit paid, minus the RVezy service fee and applicable taxes. Consequently, $237.15 of your total booking cost was forfeited in this instance.
We understand the frustration that cancellations can cause. However, our policies are designed to provide a fair and secure booking process for both our hosts and guests. It's important to note that you were informed of the forfeiture amount during the cancellation process and chose to proceed with the cancellation. Additionally, there was no prior discussion with RVezy or your host about the booking, which might have allowed us to explore alternative solutions.
We're here to help with any further concerns or questions you may have. Please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team at * ***** ********.

We rented an ** from RVezy: service dates 6/15/23 to 6/20/23, claim AT-2023-********* During the trip, we backed the *** without accelerating, into a small tree that resulted in cosmetic damages to the LEFT bumper. We informed the owner and a claim was filed. I received an email from Rvezy on 6/23/23 notifying me "your claim is now closed" and referenced the following balance and payment. The email also stated, "Total claim value: $811.88, Deductible paid by renter: $1500.00, Reimbursement to renter: $688.12"On 8/10/23, I received a new email from Rvesy stating the owner of the vehicle submitted an "updated repair" because the mechanic, who had not yet done any work on the vehicle, "discovered additional damage" to the bumper. Reportedly all of the work was started and completed on 8/9/23 (though the date on the attached invoice was said to be "incorrect"). The email also said, "Your deductible for this booking was $1,500.00. We initially closed the claim with you being charged $811.88. With the total repair costs now at $2,078.34, you are required to pay your full $1,500 deductible. Since you have already paid $811.88, you owe the remaining $688.12." The RIGHT side of the bumper did not contact the tree. I made MULTIPLE attempts to contact ***** expressing concerns about how pictures suggested preexisting rust damage to the RIGHT bumper were evident, and the ** continued to be rented for nearly two more months possibly resulting in other damage. On 8/22/23 ***** said: "Damages once dismantled were on both sides left and right, possible the right side damages are prior, however the supplement requested is caused also by the left side damages. We were unable to complete repairs without repairing the right floor crossmember." Rvesy is admitting damages to the other side of the bumper may be preexisting. They have not established my responsibility or connection to those damages but are asking me to pay anyway. Rvesy is threatening to send me to collections.Business Response

Hi Alyssa,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to provide you with an update regarding the repair costs for the bumper damages that occurred during your recent RVezy rental. As you may recall, our original estimate for the repair costs was based on a preliminary visual inspection conducted by the mechanic.
Upon further inspection, the mechanic recently removed the bumper and discovered unexpected internal damages to the frame. As it turns out, this is not uncommon; such internal damages can be routinely uncovered only when the mechanic begins the actual repair process. RVezy has deemed these additional repairs necessary, as the bumper damages were caused during your rental period.
I understand that this news may be disappointing, but please rest assured that we have taken all necessary steps to ensure the repair costs are fair and accurate.
Please be assured that our team is available to assist you, and your claim advisor, in particular, is committed to working closely with you to address and resolve any further concerns you might have.
To facilitate understanding and streamline communication, we kindly ask that you reach out directly to your claim advisor. Connecting with them directly will ensure your concerns receive the attention and support necessary for timely resolution. Their expertise in the matter makes them the best person to serve as a point of contact for you.
In case you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department. Our team is here to help and guide you every step of the way.

I am rejecting this response because: Thank you for your response. However, as stated in the 8/22/23 email, "Damages once dismantled were on both sides left and right, possible the right side damages are prior, however the supplement requested is caused also by the left side damages. We were unable to complete repairs without repairing the right floor crossmember." I agree the issues discovered with the car are not necessarily connected to me and that the significant amount of rust damage, compromising the metal of the car, seems likely to have predated the rental period. I have expressed these concerns with my claim advisor, whom I have been in regular contact with, and am displeased with the lack of specificity in their response. It doesn't seem right to me that you are asking me to pay for issues that don't seem to be caused during the rental period, per your own emails.

I rented an RV from RVEzy. The RV was misrepresented on the website for its quality and age of the vehicle (it was a year older and the RV was not in good mechanical shape). There was also pre-existing damage that was not disclosed. Upon my return, the owners filed an insurance claim and required a deductible to be paid which significantly over estimated the damage. There were more defects in the vehicle such as inoperable refrigerator door and constantly came open, a cruise control that intermittently stopped working, and a generator that randomly shut off. I was offered no compensation or refund.Business Response

Hello *****,
Thank you for contacting RVezy.
An insurance claim was opened on your booking ******* on July 7th, 2023.
After reviewing the departure and return pictures submitted by both you and the host during our inspections, we have confirmed that the damage did in fact occur during your trip. As part of our insurance process, we are required to collect a deductible for any approved claims. Please note that your rental agreement stipulates the following: "In the event of an approved insurance claim I am responsible for a deductible of $2500 which will be charged to my credit card on file."
We understand that you may be concerned about the overall condition of the RV, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will investigate this further.
Furthermore, we understand that there were also minor interior damages noted and that your assigned claims advisor has been attempting to reach out to you for your statement several times. You are scheduled for a call with your assigned advisor today, who will provide you with further assistance regarding the interior damages.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

I am rejecting this response because:While I don't agree with the process, I understand that there was damage, although I don't believe there is any where close to $2500 worth of damage, and I know that you will never return the difference given my experience so far. My complaint is related to the the misrepresentation of the RVs condition and age. I should be refunded the cost of my rental.Please see my response to my RVEzy Claim Owner below:
your interaction with the owner:
The owner was not present at the pickup. His wife was there but she knew little to nothing about the RV to give us an orientation. During the rental period, I communicated with the owner via RVEzy app and phone. I notified him of all of the trim coming off soon after we picked up the RV. They had tried to hide the trim damage by placing clear scotch tape over the trim but that didn't last but a couple hours before it started coming off both sides of the RV. Neither the owner or his wife were present on the return so I could not review any of my issues. They had me lock the keys in the RV and lock it for when they could return.
what the damages are and how they occurred:
I was not aware of the damages for which the claim was filed. I never hit any trees that could have caused the scratches. I'm guessing they were obscured by some dirt. As you can see from the pictures, the damages are minimal.
what issues did you encounter while on the trip:
Our rental experience was a nightmare. In addition to trying get the trim to stay on the RV (damage that was present before), I had to stop every 30 minutes to an hour to reset the Cruise Control. It went out any time there was a strong wind or when a large tractor-trailer passed. Here is a list of our issues:
Refrigerator door handle broken so it flew open constantly
Exterior Trim came off both sides of the RV
Cruise Control continually going out
The rattling of the RV, especially from the microwave made it impossible to listen to the radio or have a conversation. We couldn't hear each other speak.
The RV is advertised as a 2022 but it is a 2022 and the condition and mileage reflect the poor shape of the RV
Tires are old and bald so I had to constantly monitor them
We paid for linens and got two flat sheets and some blankets that smelled so bad no one could use them
None of the USB plugs worked
2 of the 3 Exhaust fans did not work
No Ladder for my grandson to get up on the top bunk so we had to lift him each time
Overall, this was a disaster. I have rented RVs many times and I was excited to hear about your new company/website. Needless to say, I was severely disappointed.
