They charge outrageous and undisclosed deposits, insurance fees, etc. The "price" of the rental is just a teaser to get money out of you in other ways. It is borderline scam...probably over the line. Kayak shouldn't list them...and others of their ilk.Reviewed Feb 23 2026

Scam- advertised a cheap price and ended up a higher price than better-known companies. Also can only pick up and drop off at one place - theirs. DO NOT USEReviewed Feb 9 2026

Terrible experience!!! I booked for pick up at 7pm. My flight was delayed by an hour so we arrived at 8pm. There was no shuttle. Nobody picked up the phone when I called. The other shuttle drivers told me that the location was closed and that they usually closed at 5pm. So, I had to scramble and find a new rental at a much higher price because it was so last minute.Reviewed Feb 4 2026

Very poor service. I was given the wrong address for picking the car up so had to take multiple Ubers to and from the airport, hotel, etc. to get the car. Also, my flight home was delayed so I needed the car an extra couple of hours and they charged me $100 for that. Lots of hidden fees too that I wasn't in the mood to argue with them about. Just a horrible experience with them, but the car was fine at least.Reviewed Oct 4 2025

Convenient to airport. Counter person was great. Could not find keys to my requested car!!!!!!! Substitute car was ok except for overpowering bad smell. Had to stop at convenience store and purchased $6.00 or air fresheners!!!!!!!! Return process was fine.Reviewed Aug 21 2025

Apparently advantage at MCO ceased doing business the weekend prior to my rental. And offloaded reservations to Zezgo rental cars. So the pickup instructions were wrong. It was in a different location. Even further away. Upon arrival. It was lined up out the door. Two people working the counters. The several interactions I watched lacked professionalism. After 25 minutes, I decided it wasn’t worth the effort. And departed. Be advised. Any monetary savings that might be perceived with renting from This company is not worth the time, effort and the inconvenience.Reviewed Jun 28 2025
