In february 2011, I rented a time bomb from Thrifty Car Rentals. I thought I was renting a car, that was what I booked, but Thrifty fooled me. After the first 200 kilometers the car started to fail, and my wife and I had a tough time for 15 days!

I was with my wife in Portugal and decided to rent a car with Thrifty to go to Spain. Our road trip started on a cold rainy day of winter, and the first thing to fail was the air conditioning. Have you tried to drive a car when it’s cold outside without air conditioning? Well, the windshield gets dangerously foggy, and the only way to fix this is by opening the window. Thank god I was in Spain and not in Canada. It was “only” 9ºC outside. Blood doesn’t freeze at this temperature.

But that was only the begining…

The next day I noticed that one of the tires was flat, so I filled it up. But that tire was actually loosing air, permanently and gradually, so I had to do that everyday for two weeks. And the reason is because Thrifty doesn’t offer assistance to their clients in Spain, even though I was only 200 kilometers away from their closest agency.

They didn’t offer (or accepted, after I asked) to send me a replacement car. Instead, they told me I should fix their vehicle myself!

When I finally got back to Lisbon and expressed my discontent, they didn’t care much, and just offered a miserable 20% discount, as a deal to get rid of me. The amount would be refunded directly to my credit card account.

And that’s when I was fooled again. I should have known they would never reimburse me. They were only trying to get rid of a complaining client before another sucker came in to burn his money away with them.

But I was still hopeful, trusting on the company and thinking that was an isolated problem when, one month Iater, I sent an e-mail through their website, at Thrifty.com explaining what hapened. Few days later they confirmed my fear when I read their answer saying that was not their problem and I should deal straight with their agency at Lisbon. As if Thrifty Portugal, at Lisbon, was not really Thrifty.

It’s really disapointing. I recomend this company to be a (bad) case of study for business schools around the world.

Ryanair (ISEQ: RYA, LSE: RYA, NASDAQ: RYAAY) is an Irish low cost airline with its head office at Dublin Airport, Ireland, and with primary operational bases at Dublin Airport and London Stansted Airport.

Ryanair operates almost 250 Boeing 737-800 aircraft on over 1,100 routes across Europe and Morocco from over 43 bases. The airline has been characterised by rapid expansion, a result of the deregulation of the air industry in Europe in 1997 and the success of its low cost business model. Ryanair is Europe’s largest low-cost carrier, the 3rd largest airline in Europe in terms of passenger numbers and the largest in the world in terms of international passenger numbers.

Ryanair now has a number of low-cost competitors. In 2004, approximately 60 new low-cost airlines were formed. Although traditionally a full-service airline, Aer Lingus moved to a low-fares strategy from 2002, leading to a much more intense competition with Ryanair on Irish routes.[citation needed]

Airlines which attempt to compete directly with Ryanair are treated competitively, with Ryanair being accused by some of reducing fares to significantly undercut their competitors. In response to MyTravelLite, who started to compete with Ryanair on the Birmingham to Dublin route in 2003, Ryanair set up competing flights on some of MyTravelLite’s routes until they pulled out. Go was another airline which attempted to offer services from Ryanair’s hub at Dublin to Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland. A fierce battle ensued, which ended with Go withdrawing its service from Dublin.

In September 2004, Ryanair’s biggest competitor, EasyJet, announced routes to the Republic of Ireland for the first time, beginning with the Cork to London Gatwick route. Until then, easyJet had never competed directly with Ryanair on its home ground. Easyjet announced in July 2006, that it was withdrawing its Gatwick-Cork, Gatwick-Shannon and Gatwick-Knock services; within two weeks, Ryanair also announced it would withdraw its own service on the Gatwick-Knock and Luton-Shannon routes.

Ryanair has asked the high court to investigate why it has been refused permission to fly from Knock to Dublin. This route was won by CityJet, which was unable to operate the service. The runner up, Aer Arann, was then allowed to start flights, a move Ryanair criticises on the basis that not initiating an additional tender process was unlawful.

DFDS Seaways cited competition from low-cost air services, especially Ryanair, which now flies to Glasgow Prestwick Airport and London Stansted Airport from Gothenburg City Airport, as the reason for scrapping the Newcastle-Gothenburg ferry service in October 2006. It was the only dedicated passenger ferry service between Sweden and the United Kingdom, and had been running under various operators since the 19th century.

Entry from: Kruger National Park, South Africa
Entry Title: “Kruger National Park, Home of the Big 5″

Entry:

“We’ve seen it on National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and many other documentary, the place where animals roam freely in the park, disregard of the human staring at them… this is Kruger National Park. Kruger is about 500km from Johannesburg (Joburg) so we started our journey at about 6am. With the help of my GPS, we quickly find our way onto the highway. The road was unbelievably straight, you can see at least 10km of straight road in front of you. Everyone were driving at least 140km/h and along the way you’ll see a lot of people trying to hitchhike. There were a lot of tolls along the way, expect to pay about R100 one way on toll. We stopped by a petrol station for lunch.

After lunch we quickly rush towards Kruger. Along the way, my GPS led me into a small village whereby there were hardly any car driving by and everyone staring at us as if we’re aliens from mars. We were so afraid that they might stop us and rob us… curse the GPS and never over rely on it. After a few quick turn, we finally left the village and reached the Numbi gate at 2pm. We paid our daily R140 conservation fee (R70 per pax, you need to pay park fees, called conservation fees here, for each day that you stay in the park) to get into the park. I’ve been to Pilanesburg so I’m setting my expectation right. sarah was so excited… being able to see roaming wild animals… priceless. When you go to any of the national park, check out my Park Rules 101 and my Park Survival 101.

Park Rules 101:
1. NEVER EVER get out of the car unless the signboard says so as hungry animals like easy prey like you. Your flesh is not good for animal health.
2. Park speed limit is 50kmph on tar road and 40kmph on gravel road. Speeding will result in hefty fine, hole in your pocket and tears from your eyes.
3. If you’re not staying overnight in the park, observe park closing time and get out of the park before that, else even heavier fine awaits you.
4. Don’t ever feed the animal. Your food is not good for their health. Animals will get lazy and rely on human to feed them.
5. Don’t litter. There’s no one to go around the park to pick up your rubbish. No one wants your junk to end up in some animal’s stomach.
6. Hyena roam the camp perimeter at night, attempt to feed them will mostly end up with them chewing on your arm as well. Fyi, hyena rank 2nd in bite force after crocs so don’t mess with them.
7. Give way to animal when they are crossing the road, be a gentleman, they are the 1st class citizen in KNP.

KNP Survival 101:
1. Self-drive safari is the most affordable way of going about safari. Map (available at the entrance) and useful safari guide (teach you how to differentiate water buck, red buck and the rest of the buck family) is essential. Biggest advantage of self-drive safari is the flexibility, you decide when and where you wanna go, and it costs less than a guided safari.
2. You’re allowed to drive a rental car into the park. Most rental companies allow you to do that, but to be sure, reconfirm with the car rental company. Rent a car with aircon, even in winter! Else you’ll be driving an oven around the park.
3. Bring your own cooking utensils and dish washing liquid. There are restaurants at the camp but it won’t be cheap. Most economical way is to cook your own food. All camps have electric stove and hot water.
4. Bring your own sunblock else you’ll get toasted by the sun, even in winter and spring. It may be dead cold in Cape Town while KNP will be blazing hot.
5. Plan your trip, KNP is freaking big. Do not attempt to cover too great a distance cause KNP is a massive tract of land and you might end up spending too much time traveling. What I did was to calculate the distance from the map and …”
