Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I have cancelled a few recently. Some refund was instant some took a while. They refunded back to the original payment method.

I used Autoeurope.com in December. 48 hours notice of cancellation.

There was no online cancellation. It was when Geneva was closed.

I had to wait in a phone queue for 20 mins it was cancelled no problem, full refund.

Planing to cancel my second boooking in Jan for Italy for Birthday Bash as now it looks like we Brits can drive through Germany.

Auto Europe have been excellent. Another booking made directly with Europcar who have been dragging their heels, apparently '21 working days'. Not quite sure why given everyone else is within 3 or 4.

Autoeurope were great with me. Europcar pulled a sly move and took 18 months to refund me (they used a French rule about the pandemic despite my booking being with their English company) Whilst I got my money back I felt it was a little bit of a mean spirited move.

We have cancelled several car hire bookings with Holiday Autos and got refunded almost immediately. Refund requests were completed online, in one case it was about 7 hours before the booking was due to start so we paid a late cancellation fee of £40.

Had recent 2 bookings which I cancelled with rentalcars.com quite close to one another, one was refunded quickly (within a few days) the other I am still waiting on getting on for a month. The second was from Geneva just after the Swiss quarantine requirements were brought in for Omicron when I guess they would have been having a lot of cancellations. I reckon its a manual process the timing of which they manipulate for their own purposes.
