Renter beware! Do not recommend for traveling one way across country lines. We had added costs at pickup that I was not aware of when booking online. $600 one-way fee, plus forcing us to purchase car insurance even though we kept saying we have it through our CC. Our rental ended up costing us over $1K!! I was not prepared for that. Next time, I will be using buses and trains to get around.Reviewed Sep 19 2026

I got there and they told me they didn’t accept my debit card and couldn’t take tap pay or anything like that. Would be nice to know an exclusion list ahead of time so I could plan better and make other arrangement.Reviewed Sep 19 2026

I was pressured hard to buy Budget car insurance. The agent would not let me take the car until I proved my travel insurance covered the car, was large enough, and was valid in Ireland. I had to call the insurance company to prove. it. He challenged me on each point, The cost for insurance would have been 50% higher than the cost of the car. Very unsettling. If I had not experienced this before I would have fallen for their trap. The car was beat up to begin with. The power plug we found out didn't work so couldn't charge phones and devices. There was only one USB port that was hidden. The cruise didn't work. It had about 135000km.Reviewed Sep 19 2026

The car was really dirty at pick up. The front window had squished bugs all over it. I had to clean it when I got to my destination so I could see through it better. Almost took it through a car wash but decided why should I pay for that when your company should do it before delivering it to me. Also the inside was very dusting and the floors were not vacuumed. My spouse was really upset how dirty the car was. Never had that problem before. Otherwise the car was good and worked as well as expected. I understand the person at the Lakewood site for pickup was a one person show and I could not see if there was a way to clean the car, but you need to do something there to make sure the cars are cleaned before turning them over. Felt I had to pay a little too much for a dirty car.Reviewed Sep 18 2026
