reviewing oodles

Huh. I just booked a hire car for while we’re in Australia, and I found this comparison shopping site called Oodles.com.au. And lo and behold they found me a car on Budget that was a couple of hundred dollars cheaper than anything I could find on budget.com.au. But I’ve never heard of oodles.com.au, and when I googled them, I couldn’t really find anyone else saying anything about them, and while the site looked thorough and well-designed and had lots of information and a link to Verisign confirming it really was secure, I suddenly got worried – cos you know, how does one know placing an order there will really result in a booking being made with Budget?

Well, I obviously haven’t got the car yet. But at least I got a confirmation email from oodles with a link to budget.com.au where I can change or edit my booking. And yes, the link works, and really goes to my real booking at budget.com.au. So I guess Oodles.com.au is cool.

Great name, anyway. And the deal was far cheaper than the alternatives. And now an actual customer has linked to them so future customers who wonder and google can find out what this customer, at least, thinks of them. I’ll update this when I’ve actually got the car…

Sorry, but comments from before December 2010 are lost in the database and I've not yet figured out how to display them properly.
