Very good. Car offer price was incredibly low. Voucher documentation had the DVLA code period as 3 days - but it is 24 days.

The car hire price was OK and the supplier in Portugal was fine but purchase didn't track so I raised a tracking claim. That was successful but now cashback has been declined for no apparent reason as I always clear cookies and log back in for these type of transactions. If you use Argus, don't rely on getting any cashback

Deal seemed pretty good. Car hired through Budget in Orlando. Tried to get us to upgrade vehicle then tried applying extra Insurance cover for tyres etc. Did NOT inform us of the windscreen device, which they had deliberately left switched on. Turned it off same night but Budget then charged us £11.84 for a $1.25 toll that the cashier refused to accept from us. Despite initially asking us to send everything to them by email, Argus later decided they can't do anything. We booked through them, surely they have more clout than we do. Disappointed.

Got a great deal through Argus for a car picking up in LA and dropping off in Las Vegas. Actual hire company was Alamo and the customer service was spot on. Could not fault it. Also cashback tracked quickly as well. Would use again for sure

Quite simply DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I have waited 11 months for both them and TCB to payout and and they have now declined it. Well it is their loss as I need to do a long car hire in the next month so I will not be using them or TCB. Trust me when I tell you, look elsewhere with your car hire company and your cashback choice.

After booking and paying a deposit their site didn't issue an email receipt. Their customer service guy weirdly said it would be impossible to get a receipt. Anyhow 7 days before the trip they took the rest of the payment and issued a car hire voucher with Hertz. The Hertz service and car were super. On my return ArgusCarHire sent an email inviting feedback but the feedback link was dead and they didn't reply to my email offering feedback. The cashback is not yet confirmed, more than a month after paying in full. ArgusCarHire had a good price but it's scary to deal with a site that doesn't issue receipts. If you use them don't buy the excess insurance from them or the car hire company. It's much cheaper from a specialist car hire excess insurer listed on topcashback.

Still waiting on over £10 cashback from Argus car hire. It has tracked and is still pending 6 months later. Have lodged complaint etc. but isn't progressing. Disappointing. Don't rely on getting your cashback!

Whilst I found the Topcashback experience with this merchant efficient, the product itself supplied by the merchant was suspect. I booked a car rental in Australia and was required to pay a low deposit with the balance due 5 days before collecting the car. However when I needed to clarify T & C's the customer help department referred to a different set of terms and conditions than which I had booked. The staff just read from a script and never answered my questions. I chose to cancel the booking rather than commit myself to something I had not agreed to. I did receive a prompt full refund.

Unfortunately Argus do not pay the cashback as promised. On 2 separate bookings from summer of 2013 I am still awaiting payment. Bookings were completed as scheduled, one is marked as pending and one is marked as approved but neither ever became payable. Topcashback don't do much to resolve this other than saying "wait" - but this was June and August 2013. Argus prices are OK although I believe rental companies will match or better if you call them direct and quote the price you are offered

Do not use this company, not only did I not receive the £23 cashback and cannot now claim as it's over 100 days due to the fact that it was booked four months prior to the travel. But also due to the fact that the car was atrocious. The brakes were horrendous, the air conditioning did not work so the front windscreen kept fogging up and it was scratched and dented beyond belief and they did not have a replacement car so we had no choice to put our life in our hands and drive extremely carefully. It limited the activities we did and totally spoilt the holiday.

Avoid this company if you actually want any cashback! Tracked in April, hired in August but still no payment in February

No compaints as to the car rental as we were in the usa and the car had been booked through one of the national car rental companies,but as far to cashback i would be suprised if this will be paid as nobody on these reviews have been paid.Topcashback should have words with them.

Booked a car through Argus to collect at Alicante airport, turned out the booking was through Goldcar, and was supposed to be £78 for a week's car hire. When we arrived at the airport we had to queue for 90 minutes to get the car, after midnight before we even got to the desk. We were then charged extra for insurance (which Argus said was included) and for a full tank of diesel (we returned it with half a tank still left - no refund obviously). This brought the cost of our car hire from £78 to over £200! Also there is no sign of cashback from Argus. Avoid them, and Goldcar, like the plague!

Dont bother. Poor Service, Poor company, Poor everything. They don't honour the Cashback. I am surprised they have not been taken off the site - it reflects poorly on Topcashback. another cashback site may be the way forward.

Don't use Argus Car Hire, we arrived in Portugal on a sunday evening 9pm with our 6 children to be told they had no car for us!!! This was booked 6 months previous there should be no excuses! We ended up getting a taxi and four days into our holiday got our 8 seater car! We have never received our cash back either and reading the other reviews don't think we will either.

Argus shouldn't be allowed on the TopCashBack site. They don't honour their payments. How can it reach 'Payable' and still not be available for payout?! Appalling practice by Argus and by TopCashBack for allowing this to continue to happen.

Don't book your car with Argus if you're doing it because of the cashback, as they won't pay even if it's 'confirmed'! Also, they act as agents between customer and car hire companies and take bookings when they can't guarantee a car. I arrived in Italy and was told by car hire company that they didn't have a car for me because Argus took bookings they couldn't honour! After much arguing was finally given a car which was an inferior car to one we had booked...plenty people in the queue behind were offered two small cars when they had booked one large People Carrier!

In Ten years of renting vehicles in the UK and abroad I have never had such a bad experience. I was in a bit of a rush and did not realise that this company for rentals of 4 days or more, charge a full tank of fuel - prepaid. This means you have to return the car empty. However they charge the full tanks capacity at a premium of 10p more. Nobody will ever return a car fully empty. I am disgusted with the poor service and will never use this company again. Others please be WARNED - pay a little more and get piece of mind. The same can be applied to Thrifty to actually supplied the car.
