🚨 Customer Experience Alert – Revolut 🚨

Revolut  spends millions on marketing and product innovation but somehow forgets about one basic thing: clear communication with customers. 🆘

First, they encouraged me to activate the crypto wallet and despite having every KYC/AML check done long ago, my funds were instantly blocked. After days of “standard procedure” replies, I finally got the money back. Never used that feature again.

⏭️Fast-forward to yesterday: discovered their inbound payment link option. Looks sleek, sounds efficient… until the incoming funds are held for 7 days. No upfront notice, no mention in the terms and conditions, no warning before the transaction❗️❗️❗️

And the best part? Customer support told me to “stay calm and wait. This might be frustrating but this is a standard procedure.”

Sorry, but that’s not customer service — that’s complacency. I give partners and other service providers 5⭐️ when they deliver, but today’s experience deserves a strong 👎 for transparency and respect for clients’ time.

Companies, remember: real trust isn’t built on ads — it’s built on honesty and clarity❗️❗️❗️

As promised, after throwing shade at another partner on Friday, time to balance my karma! 😉

Big positive shoutout to low-cost star AJet , ignoring the Trustpilot  and RatingFacts  complaints, my 3rd flight with them ( this time to ITB Berlin via Istanbul) was awesome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cheapest deal + shortest layover had me stressing (delays = lost luggage nightmare?), but they sorted me: extra overhead space for next to nothing, exit row with tons of legroom (business class feel, tiny fee) 😉. Planes super fresh and clean, free water and Turkish tea, crew was chill and friendly. No delays at all going out, and on the crazy packed return (Dubai rescue flights everywhere), they switched me to priority and found overhead room when I mentioned the tight connection. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Low-cost doesn't mean low service❗️❗️❗️highly recommend as a travel industry fan! ✈️😎

The 3 musketeers… now with better coffee, sharper suits, and stronger Wi-Fi at ITB Berlin 🇩🇪❤️‍🔥

One of the biggest mistakes I see from car rental founders and operators lately is the jump from chaos straight to AI. 🤯 

Many businesses try to move from Excel sheets and manual work directly into “fully automated AI processes.”

But very often the basics are missing.

In many aggregator-driven rentals, operators don’t even receive the customer contact details until the client arrives. So what exactly are you automating⁉️ 

Before thinking about AI, map the Customer Journey and make sure your data actually lives inside your Rental Management System.

⛔No structured data → no automation.
⛔No process clarity → no AI.

Start with baby steps. Build hybrid processes. Centralize your data first.
Only then does automation start making sense.

If you’re exploring this transition, sometimes an external brain is useful to challenge assumptions. Happy to brainstorm ideas with fellow operators in the industry, contact Adrian Treacy Lutz Fennekohl Einar Hallsson or myself Arturs Zantmans from CARS AND MORE EXPERT TEAM

precise, organized, and capable of saying “No” with such a polite smile that people almost say thank you afterwards 🤭

Wishing you another year of perfect timing, well-structured deals, and just the right amount of German pedantic brilliance to keep the rest of us in line. 🚗

Who will turn off the lights at RIX Riga Airport ? ✈️

👉 Wizz Air has already left Riga.
No drama — just business. 
No growth → they moved to Go Vilnius  

👉 Ryanair - Europe's Favourite Airline is cutting routes from Riga and doubling down on Lithuania.

Why?

Lower airport costs. More predictable rules. Simple.

👉 Meanwhile, airBaltic:
	•	operating at heavy losses
	•	repeatedly supported by taxpayers
	•	already received hundreds of millions during COVID
	•	and now… asking for another €150 million 🆘

Let’s call things by their name:
This is no longer support — this is dependency.

And here is the uncomfortable question:

👉 Is it fair that people who may never even fly with airBaltic are paying for its losses?

Now let’s zoom out.

Car rental in Latvia is already struggling.
Fewer flights = fewer tourists = fewer bookings.

And these airline decisions⁉️
They will only make things worse.

👉 So the real question to the government and Mr President - Edgars Rinkevics is simple:

How much more needs to be done to completely kill travel in this country?

Evika Silina will soon be back asking parliament to approve another bailout.

Maybe this time we should actually ask:
Where is the strategy❓❓❓

Boys and girls lets join the Rent a Car one and only Social Media so we can be even closer to each other! 😁
