Hertz customer service in Sanford downgraded my vehicle, Hertz Corp customer service was completely lost trying to help resolve the issue, and Hertz charged an additional $76 upon return with no indication why. Gas was 100%, car returned on time to the location stated, and no tolls or other charges used. When I demanded an invoice of charges, they kept providing the same one with the $29 fee and $200 hold.

This company is such a scam. They told me I needed basic coverage when I already had insurance. When I realized they had added an additional 400 dollars to my bill I couldn’t get even one person to answer the phone at the location for four days straight and the central office said they couldn’t help it has to be the local branch. I asked three different people before I left the property and they all said “oh you got the basic coverage” and did not ever once tell me it wasn’t required. I tried to get help and got ZERO. I will never use this company again. The vehicle was great, the return was great but the complete deceit on the front end keeps me from ever using this company again.

Pros:

I asked for a rental out of Orlando, FL Airport. When I arrived I found out that the car was in Sanford, FL 45 minutes away with no shuttle as promised. I could not get to Sanford to pick up the car and they would not honor the reservation in Orlando's Dollar Rental. It cost me $75 to pay a taxi to get me to my hotel and I never got my rental. Had to pay for a taxi the whole time I was in Florida.

Cons:

Could have provided a car at the right airport.

I didn't realize it was a pickup area out of the airport, although there was a budget in the airport when we got to the place after a $30 taxi ride we found out that our booking had been canceled at 3:30. We have to no idea why we were still on the plane and that stage. However, the gentleman was very helpful. Gave us a car which was extremely comfortable and reliable

I had flat within 10 minutes if not sooner of driving it off the lot, car had to be towed because there was no spare, then had to be ubered to hotel, then back to airport the next morning, someone should have brought me a new rental. Upon getting my replacement I felt like the women behind the counter were trying to say I was scamming the system, even asked for proof of my texted voucher from Avis. It was all too much.

The car didn't feel very clean and smelled like someone earlier had smoked in it. The car was also quite beat up. But I was renting one-way so they likely gave me this car for that reason.

I arrived at the counter to pick up the rental. I did not have a credit card on me. The very rude agent told me that in order to release the rental to me without a credit card, they would have to run a credit check. I showed her the rental policy online that stated a rental could be picked up with a debit card and hold fee. Even though the policy is online, and I showed her word for word, she refused to allow me to retrieve the rental. I left and went to another rental counter , Alamo and successfully rented a vehicle with Alamo. I will never use Avis again!

The team at the Orlando airport were incredibly kind and helpful. I mistakenly booked at the wrong airport, the check in employee so was kind in assisting me, the customer service rep I had to call was extremely helpful, and the parking lot employee met me with kindness as well. It was a very unpleasant travel day for me, so I was extremely grateful for their positive demeanor at that moment. Turned my day around!

Convenient pick-up on airport arrival. Company charges $199.99 a day to use your own auto insurance. Can not opt out. They call it an administration fee. Attempted to force me to buy a toll road package. Very hard sell of add one and it cost an extra $233.00 after quoted price on written prepaid reservation. Would not recommend this company for car rental. Car rental is unmanned and you leave the vehicle in a parking lot with the keys in the glove box and car unlocked. You then text them a picture of the parking space of the vehicle so an employee can find it at a later time.

Rent-a-wreck IS A SCAM!!! They don't provide their local policies within the initial contracts. They say they send it in an email before the rental date, but the email I received provided a broken link to the policy. I was unable to read until I got to pick up the rental on a different page on the employee's phone. At this point, it was to late to cancel and ended up losing my initial required deposit. I wanted to use my own insurance, which they allowed me ti use, but they then force you to pay a $20/day admin fee for using your own insurance instead of using their $40/day insurance. They were also forcing me to pay a $10/day for the use of a toll transponder. I was still required to pay the tolls. I have my own toll transponder that is transferable but they said it wouldn't work. I walked away from the rental and went to their competitor which ended up being cheaper. This rental company IS A SCAM!!!
