点评:I’m a 68 year-old woman with arthritis in my hands. I booked and paid for a 7-day rental after being impressed with their website and knowledge of cycling the Camino as a solo female. The website said that their bikes are delivered “fully serviced and ready to ride.” I emailed to get details right after booking and it was then that I learned that the bike would be delivered by a transport truck (date, and time could not be given) and that I would need to uncrate it and do some assembly. I’d also need to deal with or save the packaging. When I told them that absolutely couldn’t work for me, at the risk of injuring my hands, they said that I should’ve bought cancellation insurance and refused to give me a refund. Later, they said that they could find someone to unbox and assemble it for me, but by that time it was too late. I’d had to secure another bike because I was leaving on my trip in a few days. Within 24 hours they took €325 and gave me zero in return. I had to come home a few days early because that loss wasn’t in my budget. This was a once in a lifetime trip. I write this so that others know what they’re getting themselves into before they trust and hand over their money.
翻译:我是一名68岁的女性,双手患有关节炎。他们网站上的信息以及针对单身女性徒步朝圣路线的介绍给我留下了深刻印象,于是我预订并支付了7天的自行车租赁费用。网站上称自行车会“经过全面检修,随时可骑”。预订后我立刻发邮件询问详细情况,这才得知自行车会通过运输卡车送达(具体日期和时间无法确定),而我需要自己拆箱并进行组装。我还得处理或保留包装盒。当我告诉他们那样做对我来说绝对不可行,否则我的手可能会受伤时,他们却说我应该购买取消订单保险,并拒绝给我退款。后来,他们又说可以找人帮我拆箱组装,但那时已经为时太晚。由于几天后就要出发旅行,我不得不另买一辆自行车。在24小时内,他们扣走了325欧元,却什么也没给我。我不得不在几天前提前回家,因为那笔额外开支超出了我的预算。这原本是一次一生仅有一次的旅行。我写下这些,就是希望其他人能在掏钱之前清楚自己将要面对什么。
