Dear Carole-anne,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We’re thrilled to hear that you had a perfect experience with our MCO Affiliate. It’s especially great to know that Farzad provided kind and efficient service — we’ll be sure to share your compliments with him under Ticket #360567. Their team works hard to make the rental process smooth and transparent, so we truly appreciate you highlighting the fast shuttle service and the absence of hidden fees.
We’re also glad the vehicle was a perfect fit for your needs and that everything went seamlessly during your rental.
Your feedback means a lot to us, and reviews like yours help others feel confident when choosing us. We look forward to welcoming you again on your next trip!
Best regards,

The worst pseudo-car rental company, a complete scam.
This company is a rip-off; they advertise on Booking.com for a promotional daily rate of $11.70 for 3 days. I purchased the insurance for $48 USD. Here's the story: virtual check-in on a computer. The process was slow, and they asked for all the documents again that I had already scanned beforehand. They didn't have access to them, so why did they ask me to scan them in advance, etc.? Their voucher process is completely useless. Then, because I live in Florida, the pre-purchased insurance wasn't valid, meaning I basically gave them $48 USD for nothing. I also had to pay for the SunPass transponder per day, plus tolls, and use my own insurance, etc. They charged me an additional $125.43. They have many hidden clauses; everyone who was picking up their cars was complaining, they don't give refunds, etc. It's terrible, the worst car rental company in the USA. It's unbelievable that Booking.com promotes this garbage.

Dear Andres,
Please see the response provided by our Miami Affiliate under Ticket #360478.
"Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We have completed a full review of reservation 6010313384NU for customer Andres Woodhouse. We appreciate the opportunity to provide further clarification.
*Insurance Eligibility & Coverage Requirements*
The customer purchased collision coverage through the booking platform (Booking.com). However, as clearly stated in our online policies and rental terms, all renters must present valid proof of collision, comprehensive, and liability insurance at the rental counter. If a renter does not provide proof of all required coverages, equivalent protection must be purchased directly through us.
*Local Renter Policy*
As outlined in our rental policies:
- Local renters are limited to 50 free miles per day.
- Additional mileage is charged at $0.75 per mile.
- Local renters must provide valid proof of collision, comprehensive, and liability insurance in their own name.
These requirements are consistently applied and disclosed in our rental terms.
*Virtual Check-In / Document Process*
While we do offer virtual assistance at this location, we do not require customers to scan or upload documentation prior to arrival.
At the time of check-in, we request only:
- A valid driver’s license
- A valid credit card
- Valid proof of insurance (if declining our coverage)
There is no pre-arrival document upload requirement in place at this location.
*Breakdown of Charges*
We are attaching the signed rental agreement for your review.
The agreement confirms that the customer acknowledged and accepted:
1. Our Toll System Activation package (SunPass transponder program)
2. Our Extended Protection (EP) coverage
All charges reflected on the agreement correspond to services selected and acknowledged by the customer at the counter.
*Counter Disclosure & Customer Communication*
After reviewing internal notes and documentation, we confirm that accurate information regarding insurance requirements, mileage limitations, and optional products was provided at the rental counter.
Based on our review, the charges and procedures followed were consistent with company policy and properly documented."
Sincerely,

Avoid Nu Car Rental PHX – Deceptive Practices & Unfit Vehicles
UPDATE (March 2nd, 2026)
I appreciate the effort to respond, but unless there is some material change to policies or other reversal of this trend - which the overwhelming and ongoing stream of negative reviews show is not the case - then the below post can best be framed as empty public relations.
/////
UPDATE (February 9, 2026): I reached out to both corporate and the local General Manager, Paul Rodgers, hoping for a shred of professional accountability. Instead, I was met with a masterclass in gaslighting and blame-shifting.
In a series of dismissive emails, Mr. Rodgers defended these predatory tactics by claiming that a car which physically cannot reach a major regional destination (Sedona) counts as a "fulfilled reservation." Most insultingly, he asserted that the burden of "due diligence" regarding their fleet's battery specs lies solely with the customer—effectively stating that you cannot trust the "Premium Elite" classification their own system provides.
To be clear: they intentionally list vehicles for the Phoenix hub that are unfit for Arizona geography, use 90-minute service delays to create a time-crunch, and then frame a forced "upgrade" as an "optional customer service gesture."
This isn't a "misunderstanding"; it’s a strategy. A quick look at the wealth of reviews here for this location confirms my experience is a documented, systemic pattern. I have since filed formal complaints with the Arizona Attorney General’s Office of Consumer Protection and the Better Business Bureau.
///
I am writing this as a warning to travelers. My experience at the Phoenix airport location was a textbook example of being backed into a corner through deceptive inventory practices.
I reserved a PREMIUM ELITE EV well in advance. Upon arrival - after a grueling 90-minute wait between their slow shuttle and an understaffed line - I was told my "Premium" vehicle was a Mini Cooper EV. When I informed the agent I was driving to Sedona, they admitted the car’s range cannot make that trip and there are insufficient charging stations on that route to make it viable.
Essentially, they rented me a vehicle that was unfit for the very low bar of regional travel.
Because I was already late for a scheduled event due to their own 90-minute processing delay, I was forced into an "upgrade" for a BMW crossover. This brought the total for a 2-day rental to $275, which is double the cost of my actual flight. They refused to honor my original reservation price, despite the fact that their own system booked an EV for a route it cannot service.
This felt like a predatory "bait and switch" designed to exploit travelers in distress.
Note: I have reached out to Nu corporate regarding this "stress tax" and will be requesting a rate adjustment upon drop-off to match my original booking. I will update this review once a resolution is reached. For now, stay away if you value your time or your wallet.

Dear Chris,
Based on our Phoenix Affiliate under Ticket #360452, this case has already been addressed by their manager and they will not be proving any other resolution as one has already been provided.

===================
Dear Chris,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback regarding your recent rental experience in Phoenix. We sincerely regret the frustration and inconvenience you describe.
We want to be clear that it is never our intention to mislead customers or place them in a difficult position upon arrival. Vehicle classifications such as “Premium Elite” are based on category standards; however, specific makes and models within that category can vary based on availability. We understand that in this instance, the assigned electric vehicle did not meet your travel needs, particularly for your planned trip to Sedona, and we recognize how stressful that situation must have felt given your time constraints.
Regarding electric vehicle range and charging infrastructure, while EV specifications are publicly available, we acknowledge that customers reasonably expect the reserved category to be suitable for typical regional travel. Your feedback highlights an important concern about clearer communication related to EV range expectations, local geography, and charging availability. We are reviewing this internally together with our Phoenix Supplier under Ticket #360452..
We also regret the reported wait time and any feeling that you were pressured into upgrading. Upgrades should always be presented as optional solutions when a customer prefers a different vehicle, not as a forced outcome. If this was not your experience, we take that concern seriously.
We understand you have escalated the matter and are requesting a rate review. We welcome the opportunity to formally re-examine your rental charges and the circumstances surrounding the vehicle assignment.
We appreciate your feedback, even when critical, as it helps us identify areas where we must improve.
Sincerely,
HB

We understand how frustrating it must have been to feel that the resolution offered — including the future rental credit — did not provide the value or reassurance you were hoping for. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to deliver.

1. Confirmation number (ending in NU) or Rental Agreement number

We appreciate the opportunity to look into this matter and sincerely regret that your experience led to this outcome.

Don't book them.
I strongly encourage travelers to research NU Car Rentals / Easeway of Puerto Rico carefully before booking. KEEP SHOPPING FOR ANOTHER RENTAL PLACE. THIS IS NOT WORTH IT!
I reserved and prepaid my rental through Expedia for $256.52 ($140 rental and $116 in taxes) and purchased Expedia’s insurance Travel Guard for $130. Upon arrival, I was told NU does not accept third-party insurance. I was given a number to contact Expedia, which did not resolve the issue, and Expedia would not refund the insurance once the rental was considered active. I was then required to purchase NU’s insurance coverage for $385.99.
I was also required to purchase a toll package costing $79.34. I intentionally avoided toll roads throughout my trip, often adding significant drive time, yet I still only incurred about $4.20 in toll charges. Customers cannot typically provide their own toll pass because tolls are linked directly to rental vehicle plates in Puerto Rico.
Between the duplicate insurance purchase and mandatory toll package, my rental costs increased dramatically beyond what was originally quoted.
Before booking with ANY Puerto Rico rental company, I strongly recommend asking:
“Do your cars already include AutoExpreso or a toll program, and what service fees do you charge?”
I would personally choose a different rental provider in the future and hope this helps others avoid similar unexpected expenses.

Dear Emilie,
Please see the response below provided by our SJU Affiliate.
"According to the contract review, the customer purchased third-party collision insurance through an online booking portal. This type of insurance is not accepted by our company, as it does not meet our coverage requirements and is not under our control, given that it is offered independently by the website and not by us.
At the time of vehicle pickup, the customer was informed of our insurance policies and available coverage options. The customer then chose to purchase collision and vehicle protection insurance directly from our company.
Additionally, the customer declined the use of the toll pass required for highway travel at the time of pickup. However, upon return of the vehicle, it was determined that toll roads had been used, totaling $4.20 (six tolls at $0.70 each). In good faith, we applied a standard toll service charge as if it had been accepted from the beginning, rather than enforcing the $150.00 penalty outlined in the rental agreement.
Regarding the third-party insurance purchased through the booking platform, the customer must contact Expedia directly to request any applicable refund. As stated in our terms and conditions, third-party insurance policies are not accepted by our company.
We appreciate your understanding and remain available for any further clarification."
Sincerely,
Haidee
==========================
Dear Emilie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations and that there was frustration regarding the insurance and toll policies.
We understand how concerning unexpected charges can be, especially when they significantly increase the overall rental cost. Please allow us to clarify that insurance and toll policies vary by supplier and location. In Puerto Rico, rental providers often require coverage that meets their specific protection requirements, and not all third-party insurance policies are accepted at the rental counter. These policies are set by the local operating company and are typically outlined in the rental terms and conditions provided at the time of booking.
Regarding tolls, Puerto Rico’s toll system is plate-based (AutoExpreso), and most rental vehicles are automatically enrolled in a toll program. Because tolls are electronically linked to the vehicle’s license plate, customers are generally unable to use personal transponders. The toll package and associated service fees are intended to cover administrative handling and ensure uninterrupted travel through toll roads.
That said, we truly regret that these policies were not clearer to you prior to arrival. Transparency is extremely important to us, and we appreciate your suggestion encouraging travelers to confirm toll and insurance requirements in advance. Feedback like yours helps highlight where clearer communication is needed.
To review your rental in detail, we will coordinate with our Puerto Rico Affiliate about these charges under Ticket #359904.
We appreciate your feedback and wish you the very best in your future travels.
Sincerely,
HB
You will be scammed into mandatory insurance
I rented two cars for our family of 8 for a long weekend vacation together. I put each of my sons down as the drivers. They wanted their credit cards for "incidentals" even though I'd already paid. When asked if they wanted insurance both said no. The employee said they would put them down for "basic", which we thought meant a basic package. It meant basic insurance and roadside assistance. So our total charges were significantly more. On top of that they said one of my sons kept the car an extra day??? I was IN that car when we pulled in on the correct day with my other son pulling in right behind us. We all had the same flight!! We asked if they could look at security footage and they said no. The cars also had a lot of dings, dents and scratches. We did at least take pics of all that before leaving the lot. We will NEVER rent from them again.

Dear Vincent,
Please see the response from our Fort Lauderdale Supplier:
"Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
Please find attached the Signed Rental Agreement and the Final Invoice/Contract for your review.
Regarding the charges, the Partial Damage Waiver (PDW) was added at the counter to cover Loss of Use for car rentals, as this coverage was not included in the customer’s AAA insurance policy. This was explained to the customer during the rental process, and the PDW was added upon acceptance and signature of the agreement.
Concerning the vehicle condition, we have no report indicating that the vehicle was in poor condition at the time of rental. When customers report cleanliness or condition concerns, we immediately offer a vehicle exchange to ensure their satisfaction. No such report was received during this rental.
Additionally, customers are instructed to scan the QR code provided on the vehicle key at pickup in order to complete the pickup report and upload photos documenting the vehicle’s condition upon departure. In this case, no pickup report with photos was submitted by the customer.
Should you require any additional information, please let us know."

I was a little nervous renting from Nu Car after reading some recent reviews, but my experience was actually completely fine. The pickup process was straightforward, the staff was professional and helpful, and the car was clean and I even got upgraded. Return was easy and I didn’t run into any surprise charges or issues. Overall, it was a smooth, no-stress rental, and I’d rent from them again based on this experience.

This is my 3rd time renting from this…
This is my 3rd time renting from this company; first was at Orlando airport . The car was ready at the allotted time .I was prepared with my auto policy showing rental car coverage and CC auto coverage. So I declined the additional paid coverage through the agency as required for my coverage to be valid. I did not want or need an upgrade, also declined . I did not need toll road coverage , just used maps avoid toll road ( lots in this area) and always fill gas on my own . The location is off airport but the shuttle was easy to locate , quick turn around time , and a blessing to avoid all the heavy traffic of the airport . They also contact you if you would like to extend rental , which we did and were given great rate. The Phoenix location , also was a great experience as well; for both times we rented. Although it’s a distance when we watched the cars from the airport train , for departures and arrivals at a stand still , this is a much better option overall. The only negative might be that it is prepaid no cancel or changed . Having said that , the airline changed my flight time 4 times for an upcoming trip to Orlando and is no longer within the 2 hour pick up window. When I called to request change due to this, it was accommodated and staff were very understanding and pleasant . No additional charge . So the bottom line ;I don’t understand the negative reviews with this company. I think they give the big name companies a run for their money , while keeping more money in my pocket .

NU CAR: Making life more difficult and less fair for people, one ruined vacation at a time.
Booked a standard suv from NU CAR six weeks prior to pickup, and double-checked my insurance to be sure I would not need additional from rental company.
We are five person family, so needed the extra space for comfort with room for bags.
After an already long day of travel, we arrived on time for pickup, and was told the car booked was unavailable, but we would get a comparable car, yet would need extra insurance, and had to prepay for everything, as well as pay a $300 deposit.
Meanwhile I overheard another customer being told they could get a compact suv Nissan Rogue on special for less than half what I was paying, so I said I was curious if that might work for me, but was told it was not the same size as the car reserved, so could not be offered anyway, and there was nothing else on offer on the lot anyway, and with a three hour drive ahead before nightfall, I dropped the subject.
I then took the keys for the car thinking it was the standard suv, only to get to the lot to find we were in fact given the compact suv Rogue!
When I rechecked the contract, I then realized the Rogue had been switched to be listed as the car rented, and knew then I would be writing this review about NU Car’s unethical practice of lying about the need for extra insurance, and baiting me with one car only to switch it out for another when I took the keys.
There are also an additional ~25% extra fee charges on the bill for airport and other trumped categories, an elevated sales tax charge, and a 3% credit card charge.
Further the Rogue had over 50,000 miles on it, was not very powerful, and was indeed too small for our needs.
Then, after the three hour drive to our destination, I called NU Car customer service to let them know I was unhappy with how I had been treated, and wanted an invoice adjustment at mimimim to reflect the car degrade and hassle.
‘Customer service’ acted like the pre-payment made was unchangeable, and said all they could offer was a car correction if I wanted to drive back three hours immediately to do the swap!
Altogether, then, I suggest everyone avoid this company.
(Received the attached reply from NuCar about a month after posting this, see that it is much like how they reply to the many, many other similar complaints to mine, so still doubt they sincerely care what happens to their customers as long as they make money, and can wheedle out of any real responsibility, gave them the information requested nonetheless, and will update if anything changes. Note: had I seen the rest of the reviews prior to booking a car with this company, I never would have. I was even warned by airport staff to avoid them when asking for directions to their offsite location. SMH)
(The second followup reply is laughable, and again smacks of just a thin veil tossed over bad behavior in an effort to simply look publicly responsive without taking any real responsibility for said behavior. The fact is this company has had ample opportunity to right the record and compensate customers for the many issues raised. I for one went directly to the service counter upon returning the car, after having called the customer service line, and then disputed the charges with my credit card company, and Nu Car stonewalled all of my efforts, just as they have, and likely will do, with others. BUYER BEWARE!!)

A horrible and absolutely dishonest…
A horrible and absolutely dishonest company. I have never had such a bad experience, ever. I have pre-purchased car insurance and a car. I went to the office to pick up the keys. The agent was very aggressive and told me that the insurance I had purchased did not cover 50% of the items it did cover (as later investigated). They pressured me for 2 hours until I agreed to sign a $302.84 completely new contract with them. The agent was very aggressive and unpleasant. The pre-purchase fee for the car and insurance was $295.47. I agreed because she told me that the insurance and the car are at that price, and because she lied about having no adequate coverage. Later on, after I left the office, it became evident that it was just the INSURANCE. I would have never agreed to this. They refused to reimburse me when I complained about their lies. The online agent was equally rude, and when I asked her to spell her name so I could complain about how they treat their customers, she said "customer service" and hung up. Please, never buy anything from these people and spread the word if you do not want to be completely scammed by these crooks.

PriceLine quoted me Daily rate of $31.19, Number of days 4, Taxes and fees $128.22, Car subtotal $252.98; Total charged $252.98. I get home and 3 days later I receive my final invoice bill for $526.07 a difference of $273.09. LOTS of unexpected hidden fees. You have to take a sky train at the airport to the rental cars and then a shuttle to NU because they are not onsite at the airport. Very confusing to find. I did not get the expected car I booked. With 5 people and luggage it was very packed. I will never use Priceline or NU Car Rental again.

Dear Wendy,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. This is not the level of service we want any customer to experience.
We understand how frustrating it can be to encounter unexpected charges. While the base rate covers the vehicle rental, taxes, fees, and any additional services can increase the final total. That said, all fees should be clearly communicated at the time of booking, and we apologize if this was not the case in your experience.
We also regret that the vehicle provided did not meet your expectations or accommodate your group and luggage comfortably. Reservations are based on vehicle category rather than a specific model, but the assigned vehicle should still meet the capacity needs of your party. We are sorry that this was not reflected during your rental.
Additionally, we apologize for the inconvenience related to the shuttle and off-airport location. We know how stressful travel can be, and we regret that this added to your frustration.
Your feedback will be shared with our Phoenix Affiliate team under Ticket #357998 so they can review pricing transparency, vehicle assignments, and transportation logistics to help prevent similar experiences for future customers.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention — your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our service.
Sincerely,
HB
Did not get the car I rented
Did not get the car I rented. I needed an SUV for 6 WITH luggage. Received a Traverse that would not fit our luggage. Had to drop the 3rd row seat and stack luggage, and sit on laps. Ordered an Expedition. Agent told me we would be fine in a Traverse. Not even possible. Also, fees were an additional 145% on top of what I already paid for the rental!!!!! Also, NOT located at the airport. You have to shuttle, which is a mile walk to the shuttle area, with your luggage, then take a 10 minute ride TO the rental place to get your car.

Dear Mary,
Based on the rental documents provided by our Phoenix Affiliate, you agreed to sign up for the Loss Damage Waiver, Roadside Assistance and prepaid fuel by putting your signature on the following paperworks.
1. Signed Rental Agreement
2. A printed copy of the agreement, which you signed using a pen
On the other hand, please see our Supplier's response regarding the rental vehicle.
"The renter did receive Chevy traverse which is in the same car class as the Dodge Durango. They were provided a free upgrade because it was an AWD, the original vehicle was not"
We do apologize but the charges remain.

Dear Mary,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. This is not the level of service we want any customer to experience.
We understand how important it is to receive the correct vehicle type, especially when traveling with a group and luggage. While reservations are made by vehicle category rather than a specific model, the vehicle provided should still meet the capacity needs of your party. We regret that the SUV you received did not accommodate your group or luggage as expected, and that this was not addressed appropriately at the counter.
We’re also concerned to hear about the additional charges you encountered. Any fees beyond the prepaid rental should be clearly explained in advance, and we apologize if this was not communicated transparently.
Additionally, we apologize for the inconvenience related to the shuttle process and off-airport location. We understand how challenging this can be when traveling with luggage, and we regret that this added to your frustration.
Your feedback has been shared with our Phoenix Affiliate management for review under Ticket #357979 so we can address these issues and improve both vehicle assignment and communication. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention — your feedback helps us improve our service.

Absolute terrible experience without…
Absolute terrible experience without heaving a car rented. I asked 4 different employees to estimate do insurance cost in Mexico rental location. All of the forwarded me only the “blabla” from the website without beeing able to answer my concrete question. When I escalated asking the same question again all of them just stoped responding. What a client service is that. I wonder how would it work in case I rented a car in reality.

Dear Tomas,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide.
We understand how important it is to receive clear and specific information—especially regarding insurance costs at our Mexico rental locations—before making a reservation. We sincerely apologize that your questions were not answered directly and that your follow-up inquiries went unanswered. That breakdown in communication is unacceptable, and we understand how frustrating it must have been.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Your feedback helps us identify areas where we need to improve, and we regret that we did not earn your trust.
Sincerely,

A true scam
A true scam. Booked a car for week. They said $60 which I knew sounded low but I figured they’re not gonna upcharge too much. I brought all my insurance papers from home but they said I still had to pay an extra $365 for another insurance. ( I have full coverage)
I had to take TWO shuttles to get there. I didn’t take the car but I still had to take a shuttle all the way back and find another car. It was a nightmare

Dear William,
We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. This is certainly not the impression we want any customer to leave with.
We understand how frustrating unexpected charges can be. While the base rate covers the vehicle rental, insurance requirements are determined by local regulations and company policy. In some cases, additional coverage may be required if personal insurance or credit card coverage does not meet those requirements. Our Fort Lauderdale supplier should always explain this clearly before proceeding, and we sincerely regret if that communication fell short in your case.
We also apologize for the inconvenience caused by the shuttle transfers and the time lost as a result. We recognize how stressful travel can be, and we regret that this experience added to your frustration.
To ensure your feedback is shared with the affiliate’s management team for review of pricing transparency, insurance explanations, and transportation logistics, please provide the following information:
1. Confirmation number (ending in NU) or rental agreement number
2. Pickup date and time
3. Primary driver’s name
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve our service.

NEVER AGAIN!!
NEVER AGAIN!!! I booked a car, advanced pay with confirmation for $178.42. When I got to my destination to pickup car my rental went up to $536.64. I was hit with mandatory insurance required in that state, rental surcharges, facility charges, operation fee, vehicle license, taxes, energy recovery and CC surcharge. The fine print said some states MAY have mandatory insurance requirements . They don´t say which states , which I am sure every state is on their list. Beware of this company. Low prices to lure you in!!!

Dear Karen,
We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it can be to encounter unexpected charges at pickup. Transparency is very important to us, and we regret that the pricing details did not feel clear or fully communicated in your case.
Please note that the prepaid amount quoted at the time of booking covers the base rental rate only. Additional charges—such as mandatory insurance requirements, local surcharges, facility fees, taxes, and other government- or location-imposed fees—are determined by the rental location and local regulations. These charges can vary by state and are disclosed in the rental terms prior to booking, as well as at the rental counter before the vehicle is released.
That said, we understand that fine print can be easy to overlook, and we’re actively working to make these potential charges more visible during the booking process to help avoid surprises. We truly value your feedback, as it helps us improve how we communicate pricing and rental requirements.
If you would like us to review your reservation with our Phoenix Affiliate in detail or clarify the specific charges applied, please provide the following information:
1. Confirmation number (ending in NU) or Rental Agreement number
2. Pickup date and time
3. Primary driver’s name
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Sincerely,
HB
Total scam.
Total scam..
they make it impossible for you to use your own car insurance and then charge more then double the cost of the rental using older vehicles . they are located offsite from the legit car rentals where the shuttle drops you off.. then you have to take another shuttle to this dump. Took an additional 40 minute bus ride and wait time from the main car rental hub. I cancelled and called an uber
Something is really fishy about this place. All the customers were arguing with people behind the desk.. I wasn’t the only one who called an uber.
My next trip I used Alamo . They charged me a reasonable price, offered car insurance for $18 a day not $157 dollars a day which you did not have to take and you did not have to show your car insurance …

Dear Beth,
Please see the response we received from our Fort Lauderdale Affiliate.
Dear Customer,
We sincerely regret the inconvenience and frustration experienced.
Regarding the location, our advertising and booking platforms clearly indicate that the rental office is located offsite and that a shuttle transfer is required. While this information is disclosed in advance, we understand that the additional transfer time may have caused inconvenience.
According to our records, the customer decided to cancel the reservation due to not agreeing with the insurance policies. We would like to clarify that customers are welcome to use their own auto insurance, provided it meets the required coverage criteria. When the necessary coverages are not included or cannot be properly verified at the counter, additional protection options may be required.
We regret that the customer chose to cancel the reservation and arrange alternative transportation. It is never our intention to cause frustration, and we truly apologize that the experience did not meet expectations.
We appreciate the feedback and hope to have the opportunity to better serve the customer in the future.
Sincerely,
Haidee

Hi Beth,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration it caused. That is certainly not the impression we want any customer to have.
Customers are absolutely permitted to use their own auto insurance coverage; however, it must meet the required liability and verification criteria at the time of rental. If coverage cannot be verified or does not meet policy requirements, additional protection options may be required. That said, the process should always be clearly explained, and you should never feel that it was made “impossible” to use your own coverage. We are reviewing this concern internally with our Fort Lauderdale affiliate under Ticket #357154.
Regarding the rental location, it is an off-airport facility, and shuttle service is provided as outlined in the booking details. We understand that additional transfers and wait times can be inconvenient, especially after travel, and we sincerely apologize for the delay you experienced.
We also understand your decision to cancel and make alternate arrangements. However, our system indicates that your reservation was processed and charged through Priceline. We recommend contacting them directly at (800) 774-2354 or 1-800-259-2091. You may also reach out through their support portal here: [Priceline Contact](https://help.priceline.com/contact-us-ByPSCAA9o).
If there is anything further you would like us to specifically review, please let us know. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and regret that your experience did not meet expectations.
Sincerely,
HB
If I could give this boot leg car…
If I could give this boot leg car service a 0 i would. What started as an 8 dollar per day rental has turned into over 300 dollars charge on my card. First they have a policy that you need to have a car insurance policy that includes rentals and that has to be paid per day and you cannot use your own sunpass, so you will be charged daily and if you refuse, then you will be charged 250 dollars.
When I tell you I can’t wait until this business perish because they are 1000% fraudulent, and they need to go to jail.

Very disappointing experience
Very disappointing experience. Less than 1 star. The fees they added at the counter doubled the initial fee. They refused to remove added insurance fees. The pick up location is difficult to get to and the wait was ridiculously long. It caused me to miss the meeting I traveled to Phoenix for. I guess to save a small amount of money the transit van drops you off where it picked you up far from the departures area and you have to walk back up to departures. This is an absolute never again. Fool me once.

Dear Ken,
Please see the response provided by our Phoenix Supplier.
"I hope all is well. After further taking a look into this customer's rental, I see that we provided the customer 2 documents to sign, 1st one was for the customer to either waive or accept optional services that are offered upon pickup. Once done signing the 1st one, we then provide the secondary form for the customer to be aware of the additional optional services being added on, including their taxes and fees that are applicable. The customers are to sign their initials next to the amounts and totals, which they did on their end. Please keep in mind that the customer also leaves with the first rental agreement signed, showing what was additionally added, as well as what the estimated charges may be at the end. I have attached the signed documents below, showing the customer accepting the charges. The charges are valid, and do stand unfortantly. Now, regarding the wait time in the office, many customers with differnt reservations, as well as customers who are going through their agreements, reading the terms and conditions, etc... Now we do deeply apologize for the fact that the customer was late to his meeting. However, please know this was not our intention once, so ever as a company. The shuttle service, it is a free service and is and opional service. The customers are made aware that once booking, they are to take these differnt routes to get to our shuttle driver for pickup. We do advise that a Lyft, Uber, or taxi could be used, as well, per the terms and conditions.
Please be assured that it is never our intention to cause any feelings of dissatisfaction among our renters. We are unwaveringly committed to ensuring that our customers receive the highest level of respect and service. I will make it a priority to ensure that your feedback is thoroughly documented and that the appropriate management at the relevant location is made aware of your experience. Thank you once again for your valuable time and for bringing this matter to our attention.
Wishing you a pleasant day ahead."
