Otto car he has rubbish customer service the guy there is a rubbish. Ask me to pay £700 because I scratched the wheel after two years. I keep the car and change my contract. I suggest no one take Car.from Otto

I booked a dashcam fitting appointment with Otto Car two days in advance for 12:00 today at their Hendon location. This was not a last-minute booking.

I had already been driving for approximately 45 minutes to get there when, shortly before my appointment, Otto Car called me to say that they did not have the dashcam in stock. I was told they were expecting a delivery, but it had not arrived, so they needed to reschedule my appointment.

I asked why nobody had contacted me earlier, considering the appointment had been booked two days beforehand. Had they told me before I left home, I could simply have cancelled and looked for an alternative rather than wasting my time and making an unnecessary journey.

Then the situation became even more bizarre. During the same phone call, I was suddenly told that they do not fit this dashcam to Teslas.

If that is their policy, why was I allowed to book the appointment in the first place, and why was I not informed at any point during the two days before my appointment? I could not find any clear warning on their website saying that the fitting is not available for Tesla vehicles either.

When I questioned this, I was told that they “wouldn’t know until the car arrived.”

But my car had never arrived at their premises. They had just told me over the phone, without seeing my vehicle, that they could not fit the dashcam because it was a Tesla. So clearly this was something they were capable of telling me before I spent 45 minutes driving there.

When I pointed out this contradiction, the person on the phone suddenly behaved as though they could no longer hear me and then ended the call.

I find the whole experience extremely unprofessional and misleading. They accepted my booking two days in advance, waited until I was already on my way to tell me they had no camera in stock, and then gave me a completely separate reason why the installation apparently could never have gone ahead anyway.

I wasted a significant amount of time travelling there and now have to drive all the way back.

Based on my experience, I would strongly advise other drivers to be very cautious before booking this dashcam scheme. Confirm in writing that the camera is physically in stock and that they can actually install it in your specific vehicle before making the journey.

I’ve been with Otto for two years and have had a generally positive experience. While there are areas for improvement, I’m satisfied with the service.
Dennis monitored my driving, and has been patient and provided valuable advice that has helped me improve my driving. We have a good communication, and the feedback is not just about mistakes but also about helping me understand how to improve.
Overall, I’m happy with my experience with Otto and Dennis’s support. I hope the company continues to improve, but so far, so good.

I have has one of the worst experience renting from them. I went to rent for PCO car. An agent said that we will put 3 months contract but after 4 weeks you can return the car without any fees. After 4 weeks i called back to return the car, yet another agent said sorry you contract is minimum 3 months and you have to let us know by booking a slot online one month before the contract finishes. So i had to keep the car for another 2 months.
Secondly, i paid £250 deposit. i am calling everyday but they send you a WhatsApp message which you have to click on options and send them payments/refunds. I did it daily and i have not received any call. i also email them on pay.ottocar.co.uk and no one replied yet. It has been over 4 weeks now that i returned the car and no refund.

I've been arguing with them for almost a month for a week holiday I was entitled which they said I have already taken it. At the end turned out I was right and they sent me an email saying that 31.11.2025 has been approved as a holiday. Where in the world November has 31 days. I took the contract in December 2025. Only unprofessional people work for this company. Avoid at all costs

I’m the customer for over 7 years and I write the email to complain about the weekly rate that they charge me wrong but no one Care and they not care abut your complaints I even spoke to them abut that but no proper answer and they love money and soon as you don’t pay or if there’s a delay they will clamp your car,!!!! Very poor customer service from Otto car very disappointed🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I cancelled the following morning, 12 August, in writing, before collection. I never took delivery of the vehicle. The signed order form states the deposit is refundable if the order is cancelled within 7 days and the driver has not taken delivery. Both conditions were met and Otto Car have never disputed that.

Otto Car confirmed the same day that the refund request had been submitted, quoting up to 10 working days. That window expired on 26 August. I chased on 20 August with no reply, and again on 25 August. The reply I received said the matter had been escalated to the payments team again. As of 27 August I have had no refund, no processing date and no reference number.

To be fair to the branch, the salesman I dealt with was helpful and professional on the day, and has replied when he could. The problem is not him. It is that once the deposit has been taken, there appears to be no process for returning it and no way to get an answer from anyone who can.

I will update this review when the refund is received.

Abdullah Rahman has been really great and competent at his job.His friendly attitude made me feel at ease.Fabulous customer service.

Ashed has been very professional and gave fantastic service. Otto cars seem to know what they’re doing. I was at the Cricklewood office and today at Shepherds Bush site and the service is great.

Amazing services. Abdullah guided me through ver well. Also, he helped me to upload my vehicle documents on Uber

They take a deposit of £200 from you when you get a car from them, once you finish paying the contract they would charge another £200 to transfer the logbook, that's how money oriented that company is, and their customer service is terrible, you can't get them on the phone, for any answer you want.

I am very disappointed with the service I received from the Streatham branch.

I rented a car on August 6, 2026. When I went to collect the car on Monday, August 10, 2026, I was told that the car was faulty and could not be given to me. I did not want another car, so I was told that my deposit would be refunded and that the transaction was closed.

Today is August 19, 2026, and I still have not received my deposit. I have contacted the company several times by WhatsApp and email, but nobody has replied for days. I also cannot reach anyone by phone.

This is extremely frustrating and unprofessional. I have been unable to get a clear answer or speak to anyone who can help.

I am posting this complaint on Trustpilot because I hope someone from the company will finally contact me and resolve this issue. I simply want my deposit returned.

Abdullah was very helpful and sorted all my queries in quick time. A very easy person to communicate with and friendly to deal with too.

Vary bad customer service, very bad company. Avoid if you can🤮🤮🤮

It was very smooth any friendly service by Abdullah. I have been served very professionally and experienced a very high level of experience.

Second time I am renting through the guys in Otto car. Second time evrything is done professional and quick! Abdullah was the agent that helped me this time! Thank you!

Great and speedy experience. Phoned before to ask if i can rent same day, they gave me a green light came in person and rented a car straight away with my current Uber experience based! Abdulahi was friendly and very helpful explaining how it works. Good service and experience for new drivers!

I lost my car key and my car was in private car park they charged me 20 pound a day I spoke to ottocar I told them can I have spare key just to get my car out they refused now they charged me ottocar 700 pound 700 hundred pounds. And the car I took from them was problem inside the engine wating 3 months to fix it until now still promise .

Abdullah was very helpful during my experience on receiving an uber vehicle very professional and gave me a lot of information on the vehicle it’s self and details allowing me to have a good experience at the company

On my second car, I’m pleased with how thing are going, Abdullah was very helpful when I picked up the car
