I was charged a $100 smoking fee when I returned the vehicle. I contacted customer service and told them nobody had smoked in the vehicle. They said that there was what looked like weed in the carpet and had pictures. They sent me a low quality image that looked like lawn debris from pine trees where I was staying. They accused me of using drugs in there vehicle which was totally untrue and refused to reverse the charge. After 5 months they responded and stated I'm aware the charges were valid. This is untrue. Worst company ever. Don't use them.

Dear Albert,

Please see the response we received from our Phoenix Affiliate under Ticket #370077.

"Thank you for reaching out to us. Attached you will find the requested documents regarding rental agreement number PHX01-213716.The cust was charged a smoking fee and he is aware the charges are valid and will stand. The agent even stated the car smells of smoke in the inspection.

Please let us know if you require any additional information."

=======================

Dear Albert,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

We sincerely apologize for the frustration and concern caused by the smoking fee charged to your rental, as well as for the experience you had while trying to resolve this issue. We understand how upsetting it must be to be associated with something you firmly state did not occur.

Please be assured that we take your dispute seriously. Based on your feedback regarding the quality of the image provided and your explanation that the debris may have originated from your surroundings, we will be opening your case for further review with our affiliate location in Phoenix under Ticket #370077. We will request a more detailed assessment of the evidence to ensure that the charge was applied appropriately.

Our goal is to ensure that all charges are fair and supported by clear and accurate documentation. We appreciate your patience while we coordinate this review, and we will provide you with an update as soon as we receive additional information.

Thank you for your understanding, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions in the meantime.

Kind regards,
Haidee

A total SCAM! Cancelled our reservation then tried to X5 the price!

A total SCAM! After we booked a car through Priceline.com to collect from NU Rentals at LAX and took an uber all the way to the rental place, we found out that NU cancelled our reservation! NU then told us "that price wasn't available" even after we had a confirmed reservation and that we could rent the exact same car for X5 the price we paid. Completely illegal price manipulation and the customer behind us had the exact same thing happen to them, so apparently they do this all the time. We had to scramble to find another rental nearby and ended up paying way more money and had a massive time wasting experience at NU. We did contact priceline and the BBB to report this illegal practice and Priceline did give us a refund, but NU didn't even bother confirming with priceline that they cancelled our booking (despite the NU rental employee telling us they sent the cancellation to priceline). They straight up lied to us and gave us no options other than rebooking the same car for 5X the priceline rate. Read the other reviews - they do this all the time. TRUST ME - DO NOT BOOK WITH NU CAR RENTALS.

Dear Blissful,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the situation you encountered and understand how frustrating it must have been, especially after arriving at the location expecting a confirmed reservation.

We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused by the cancellation of your booking and the lack of clear communication at the time of pickup. This is not the level of service we aim to provide. Please note that reservations made through third-party platforms such as Priceline are subject to availability and the rental location’s policies at the time of arrival. However, a confirmed reservation should always be properly reviewed and handled with transparency.

We are particularly concerned by your claim that the original rate was not honored and that a significantly higher rate was offered instead. This will require further internal review, as pricing and reservation handling should be clearly communicated and consistently applied.

We also apologize for any confusion regarding the cancellation process and the communication with Better Business Bureau and the booking provider. Your feedback highlights important areas where we need to improve coordination and customer support.

We would appreciate the opportunity to investigate this matter further. Please provide the following details so we can review your case in full:

1. Pickup date and time
2. Primary driver’s name

We sincerely regret the inconvenience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Sincerely,
Haidee

Absolute scam

Absolute scam I declined all the insurance only to be charged an extra $100 for one day of “LDW insurance” and “roadside assistance” that I did not agree to. The price is absolutely deceptive… All in for a day and a half a rental (11am to 9pm the next day) I paid $350.

With regard to their “response” message below, I’ve already contacted them and Nu will not take any ownership of their deceptive practices. When the rep of the counter tells you that they need you to sign that you’re waiving/declining the xtra insurances do not believe them do not sign anything. Their words will not match up with what the document says in fine print… I’m almost 50 years old. I rent cars all the time, and I’ve never had this happen. They have several complaints against them at this specific location for doing the same thing to others and I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.. I’ve provided Nu and Trustpilot the pick up date and time as well as my reservation number full name and phone number. Pickup was March 13th, 2026 11am, drop off was March 14th at 9pm both were at your Phoenix location.

To address their “new” response below, I’ve already provided them all this info, date, time confirmation number and pick up location. They have zero intention of doing anything about what is truly misrepresentation and fraud. If you check the Better Business Bureau, they have similar complaints to what I am stating from other customers.

As for the supposed video, it misquotes everything that transpired, and not only do I doubt they have the technology for such a video recording, if it did in fact exist, they are misrepresenting it to the point of complete fabrication.

Dear Elizabeth,

Please see the response we received from our Phoenix Affiliate.

"After conducting a careful review of the transaction video, rental agreement, and supporting documentation, we found that the customer's allegations are not supported by the recorded interaction.

During the rental transaction, the rental agent clearly explained the available protection options and asked the customer whether she wanted the full coverage or the basic coverage that most customers select. The customer responded that she would take the basic coverage.

The agent then explained exactly what the basic coverage included, advising the customer that it covered the rental vehicle and roadside assistance only, and that if she were to cause damage to another person's vehicle or property, she would need to rely on her own personal auto insurance. The customer acknowledged this explanation by stating, "Oh yeah, that's fine. I have great insurance." The transaction then proceeded.

The customer was also offered the prepaid fuel option. She declined the option and stated that she would return the vehicle with the same amount of fuel. The agent acknowledged her decision and moved on to the security deposit.

Before the customer inserted her credit card into the payment terminal, the agent clearly explained the charges that would be processed. The agent specifically advised that $300.00 would be held as a refundable security deposit, while the remaining balance represented the rental charges, including the basic protection package totaling approximately $99.00. The customer responded, "Okay," and voluntarily proceeded with the payment. At no point did she question the total amount displayed on the payment terminal or dispute any of the charges before authorizing the transaction.

Following payment, the rental agent reviewed the rental agreement with the customer point by point on the computer, providing another opportunity for the customer to ask questions or dispute any of the selected options. The customer did not object to any of the terms or charges during this review.

Additionally, the customer was presented with the Summary of Charges document, where the optional products were clearly identified. The agent explained that the customer was required to initial next to each optional item to acknowledge and authorize those selections. The customer voluntarily initialed each applicable section and signed the document without raising any concerns or indicating that she wished to remove any optional services.

In total, the customer was provided with multiple opportunities to review, question, decline, or dispute the optional products and charges:

During the verbal explanation of the available protection options.
Before authorizing payment on the credit card terminal after the total charges were explained.
During the review of the rental agreement.
While reviewing, initialing, and signing the Summary of Charges document acknowledging the optional items.
At no point during any of these stages did the customer indicate that she did not want the optional services or that the charges were incorrect.

Based on our review of the transaction video, signed rental documentation, and the customer's acknowledgments, we have determined that the charges were fully disclosed, properly authorized, and accepted by the customer.

The charges will stand, and no refund or adjustment is warranted."

Sincerely,
Haidee

Zero

Zero, if it was an option. Over an hour waiting in line in a cramped little office just to be told you must buy additional coverage even though my auto insurance provides coverage but doesn’t use the same verbiage. Every customer coming out was disgruntled, annoyed, pissed off!!! Be warned.

I have the information requested. How do I respond to you, not in a public forum?

============================

Dear MH,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the long wait time and the frustration you encountered during the rental process.

We understand how inconvenient it must have been to wait over an hour, and we sincerely apologize for the delay and the conditions at the location. This is not the level of service we strive to provide.

Regarding the additional coverage, while many customers do have their own insurance, rental locations are required to verify that the coverage meets specific criteria. If the documentation provided does not clearly meet those requirements, additional protection options may be required before a vehicle can be released. That said, we understand how this can be frustrating, especially if it was not clearly explained at the time.

We also regret to hear about the overall atmosphere and experience you described, as customer satisfaction and clear communication are very important to us.

If you would like us to review your rental in more detail, please provide your confirmation number (ending in NU), the rental location, along with the pickup date and primary driver’s name, and we will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Sincerely,
Haidee

Dear Megan,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the frustration caused.

We regret that the vehicle provided did not meet your expectations and that your request for an exchange was not resolved at the location. Additionally, we understand your concern regarding charges applied after the rental, as well as your perception of unclear or unexpected fees.

Please note that any additional charges or post-rental adjustments are typically based on the terms of the rental agreement, including factors such as vehicle condition, usage, or any services selected during the rental. These should always be clearly outlined and communicated.

That said, your comments regarding customer service, transparency, and the condition of the vehicle are taken seriously and will be shared with the appropriate team for review and improvement.

We would appreciate the opportunity to look into your case further and clarify the charges applied. Kindly provide your reservation details (confirmation number ending in NU, pickup date/time, pickup location, and primary driver’s name), and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention

The next level of SCAM!

The next level of SCAM!

I've had a rental booked via CarJet. Location rental: Agadir, Morocco. Went to NU Car Rental, which was located in the van somewhere near the exit barrier in the airport.

They told me the credit card doesn't work, so I contacted my bank while I was with them at the same time, and my bank said there's no record of them attempting to lock money for deposit.

Consequently, two options were either to pay an extra high rental price without a deposit or to use a different credit card (all cards were the same). Clearly, the company was hoping I would purchase their insurance at an extra 50 euros per day. Renal itself was 9 euros per day.

Contacted CarJet, who said that the reservation wasn't cancelled within 48 hours, therefore it is fully chargeable.

In summary, paid to CarJet - no refund so far, PAID extra to the new rental company, paid extra for calls from abroad to my bank.

I went somewhere else (new rental company) and had no issues with the same card.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered during your rental in Agadir and understand how frustrating this situation must have been.

We regret the inconvenience caused regarding the payment and deposit process. Please note that security deposits are processed locally and may be subject to specific card requirements, authorization methods, or technical limitations at the time of pickup. That said, we are concerned to hear your claim that no authorization attempt was registered by your bank, and this will require further review with the location.

We also understand your concerns regarding the alternative options presented to you, including higher rental costs or additional coverage. While insurance products may be offered depending on the renter’s coverage and the location’s policies, they should always be clearly explained and not presented in a way that causes confusion or pressure.

Regarding your booking through CarJet, cancellation and refund policies are managed directly by the booking provider based on the terms selected at the time of reservation.

We sincerely regret the inconvenience, additional costs, and overall experience you described. If you would like us to investigate this matter further, please provide your reservation details (confirmation number, pickup date, and primary driver’s name), and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Dear Dewain,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concerns regarding the additional charges.

Please note that while reservations made through third-party platforms such as Travelocity, Booking.com, or Priceline typically cover the base rental rate, additional requirements may apply at the rental counter. These can include coverage options such as a Partial Damage Waiver, depending on the renter’s ability to provide acceptable proof of insurance and the specific policies of the rental location.

We understand that this can be frustrating, especially if it was not clearly expected. All such requirements are outlined in the rental terms and conditions and are reviewed at the counter prior to finalizing the agreement.

That said, we appreciate your feedback and recognize the importance of making these policies more transparent during the booking process to avoid any confusion.

If you would like us to review your specific case in detail, please provide your confirmation number (ending in NU), along with the pickup date and primary driver’s name, and we will be happy to assist further.

Thank you again for your feedback.

SCAM!!

SCAM!!! Started off with a low price on car and then claimed that because we’re renting the car locally then it is a $500 deposit. No mention on any deposit beforehand. Then a no refund policy if you paid before which doesn’t make sense at all. Complete scam

Dear Saivontre,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concerns regarding the deposit and refund policy.

Please note that security deposits—such as the $500 amount you mentioned—may be required by certain rental locations, particularly for local renters or based on specific booking conditions. These deposits are standard in the industry and are typically disclosed in the rental terms and conditions prior to booking, as well as at the counter before the vehicle is released.

Regarding the prepaid reservation, bookings made in advance—especially through third-party platforms—may be subject to non-refundable policies, depending on the terms selected at the time of purchase.

That said, please contact your booking Source, Priceline at (800) 774-2354 or 1-800-2592091. Rest assured that we don't charge you or their company for this reservation.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Beware! Stay away from this company

Run the other way!!! I reserved a car for a vacation in Phoenix for a total of $215 including all taxes and fees. Great deal I thought. When I returned the car, they charged me an additional $320, for a total of $535 for a 4 day rental. When I arrived to rent the car, there were 20 people in line, and I waited over half an hour to get to the front of the line. When I got to the front of the line, the customer service person apologized for the wait time, printed out a page for me, and told me all I needed to do was to initial and sign several lines to get the keys. He told me that all of the lines and totals highlighted were deposits on the car since it was a "New Car", and said that these deposits would be refunded when I returned the car on time. Which I did. Come to find out that the document that I signed had fine print in it (not highlighted) which stated that I had requested an upgrade (which I did not need), along with additional damage insurance (which I also don't need because my credit card company provides for me). Both of these additional charges were $40 per day each, for a total of $320 extra. I contacted their customer service department, explained the situation, but the customer service person I spoke with said that I had signed a contract, and they would hold me to the additional charges, and that I should have "read the fine print". So yeah, stay super far away from this company. Very deceptive, and predatory. There is a reason that this company has hundreds of reviews and they have less than 2 stars total on average. Believe the reviews. I will never rent from this company again.

Dear Bryan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear about the frustration and confusion you encountered during your rental.

We understand your concerns regarding the additional charges applied after your rental. Please note that while the initial booking amount reflects the base rate and selected options, any additional services—such as vehicle upgrades or optional coverage—are outlined in the rental agreement and require acknowledgment through initials and signature at the counter.

That said, we are concerned to hear your claim that these items were presented as refundable deposits rather than optional charges. This is not the level of clarity or transparency we aim to provide, and we take this feedback seriously.

We also apologize for the wait time you experienced at pickup, as well as any dissatisfaction with how the rental process was handled by our staff.

We would like the opportunity to review your case in detail, including the agreement and charges applied, to ensure everything was properly communicated and processed. Please provide the following information so we can assist further:

This is on of the worst car rental…

This is on of the worst car rental company I have ever deal with. I book through a third party called Economy Booking. !st mistake I got a price of $650CAD for a Month rental. You would think its a great price. I got to that rental place call NU I booking was with Ride rental. They told me that bought he company so they had to make a new contract. I end it up with a cost of $1450USD for the same rental and I had to fight with my credit card company to get my initial money of $650CAD to be reimbursed I was charge close to $1000USD for the that I did not need as I was already insured.

Dear Jean,

Based on our Fort Lauderdale Affiliate, your booking was not directly booked with NU Car, but rather at the rental location.

If you have a concern, please call them directly at 954.754.8588.

=========================

Dear Jean,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about the frustration you encountered during your rental and understand your concerns regarding pricing and insurance charges.

Reservations made through third-party platforms such as EconomyBookings are typically fulfilled by local affiliates or partner locations, and in some cases, a change in ownership or branding at the rental location (as you mentioned with Ride/Ride Rent a Car transitioning to NU) may require the creation of a new rental agreement under the operating company at the time of pickup.

Regarding the increase in total cost, the initial amount quoted through the third-party booking generally reflects the base rental rate. Additional charges at the counter—such as insurance coverage, deposits, or location-specific requirements—may apply depending on the renter’s proof of insurance and the policies in place at the rental location. These are outlined in the rental terms and are reviewed prior to signing the agreement.

We understand your concerns about insurance charges and the overall experience, and we regret that the process did not meet your expectations. Feedback like yours is important and will be shared with the appropriate teams for review.

With this, we will forward your concern to our Fort Lauderdale Affiliate under Ticket #367792.

NU car rentals is a total scam

NU car rentals is a total scam. You can verbally decline all the extras as in the additional insurance coverage and road side assistance but when it comes time to initial and signature on screen. If you sign it then they got you and will charge you. Verbally declining to the associate means nothing to these to people. They will add it and charge you.

Update- after NU response. Of course I 100% did a charge back. You scam people. Look at your reviews 75-80% 1 star. How you are still able to open youre doors is a miracle. The BBB and the Feds should have you shut down for fraud. The business practices and morals of this company are that of the Devil

Dear Sheffield,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concerns regarding the charges applied to your rental.

Please note that any additional products or services—such as insurance coverage or roadside assistance—are only added to the rental agreement with the renter’s acknowledgment and authorization. These selections are reflected in the rental documents, which are presented for review before being finalized through initials and signature at the counter.

We strongly encourage all customers to carefully review the agreement on screen prior to signing, as the signed contract serves as confirmation of the selected options and associated charges.

That said, we take concerns like yours seriously. If you would like us to review your specific case in detail, please provide the following:

Ticket# 350163
In response to your response of 3/6/26
Seeing as thou you make it very difficult to respond to your previous emails. I will add another review.
Looks like you dropped the ball again,,,,,
In your response you state from the review of the reservation which you were unable to confirm due to your agent not taking any notes of the original complaint so you say you ASSUME by saying the reservation was marked as unqualified and the customer (me) may not have met the local renter requirement. How dare you assume, and what is the local renter qualification, I never have experienced this is the past. sounds like you're trying to throw back your incompetency to the customer, whether I prepaid or not there was a contract of agreement and the option was to pay upon picking up the vehicle. No future worries, I will no longer patronize your establishment nor will I consider editing my first complaint and since I use Expedia, I will also stress my concerns to them as well.

We understand how important it is to receive accurate and well-documented support, and we apologize for any confusion caused by the lack of detailed notes on your original case.

Regarding local renter qualifications, certain rental locations may have specific requirements—such as additional identification, proof of travel, or other criteria—that must be met at the time of pickup. These policies can vary by location and are part of the rental terms. That said, we understand your concern and acknowledge that this may not have been clearly explained during your experience.

We also recognize your point regarding the reservation and the expectation set at the time of booking, including the option to pay at pickup. We’re sorry that the process did not meet those expectations and that this led to a negative experience.

Your feedback is important, and we will be escalating this matter internally and to the rental location's Management under Ticket #350163 to review both the handling of your case and the communication provided. We regret losing your trust and understand your decision, though we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Sincerely,
Customer Support Team

Rent-a-Junker with bad attitude

Do not rent - This car company only rents damaged cast-offs from other rental agencies that were deemed too old and wrecked for them to rent.

NU is english slang for "pale imitation of the orginal" and I can not wonder which came first? This company..or the slang term. Because it is quite befitting.

We were first given a beat up, smoke smelling chevy malibu, with 59k and a damaged banged in and poorly hammered out back passenger-side quarter panel. I refused this car and asked for one that was not damaged. I was told they did not have such a car in their fleet (he had told me previously they had >1000 cars).
Our next attempt wad a Nissan Rogue with 53k and smelled again of smoke and had a large missing trim piece off the back passenger door. Since we were told it was the best they had, and yes it was damaged, but we just had to take time out of our vacation to document all the damage. Which we did.
Be sure to take good photos both out and upon return to protect yourself.
The acidity the sales staff exhibits is a result of their having to upsell insurance that would have added 60% to the overall cost for things as basic as road side service. Thus this would eliminate their competitive advantage completely and be unfounded as they rent clearly sub-standard cars.
We will never again rent from NU. Any agency that only offers non-refundable contracts has to do so for a reason. Read the reviews, look at posted pictures and videos. Benefit from our error and avoid this company and the rent-a-junker fleet at all cost to the sanity of your trip.

NU = Never Use

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your rental experience did not meet your expectations.

We regret that the vehicles presented to you did not meet your standards in terms of condition and cleanliness. Our goal is to provide safe, reliable, and well-maintained vehicles, and we apologize if the options available at the time of your rental fell short. We also appreciate you documenting the vehicle condition at pickup and return, as this is always a recommended step to ensure clarity and protection for both parties.

Regarding your concerns about insurance and additional coverage, these options are offered to ensure renters are adequately protected depending on their personal coverage. While they are optional in many cases, requirements may vary based on the renter’s insurance documentation and the policies of the rental location. These options, along with rental terms, are disclosed during the booking process and reviewed again at the counter.

We’re also sorry to hear that your interaction with our staff did not reflect the level of service we strive to provide. Your comments regarding customer service and communication will be shared internally, as we continuously work to improve the overall customer experience.

We understand your frustration and regret that we were unable to provide a more positive experience. Should you wish to have your rental reviewed further, please provide your rental details so we can look into this more closely:

1. Confirmation number (ending in NU) or Rental Agreement number
2. Pickup date and time
3. Primary driver’s name
4. Rental location/Destination Airport

Thank you again for your feedback.

Sincerely,
Customer Support Team

Less than any stars

Less than any stars. This place is a scam and all the booking agencies that are available online should not allow them to use their sites. I have always used (booking.com) for many travel arrangements with no problems until booking a rental car with NU Car. I paid for insurance and the complete rental online. After arriving at the airport we had to walk out to guest parking only to be shuttled to a seedy part of town where the pick up office was located in an old building that appeared to have been a night club. I was then told I had to purchase more insurance coverage and use my credit card for a $500 deposit of which I would only get a portion back. This caused my rental to be $200 more than what I had already paid online!
This is a completely predatory type arrangement. I was in line with a young woman and toddler that were unable to rent a care and were left to be sitting outside in the heat trying to make some arrangements for another option.
In small print on the care key tag it reads " if rental car is not returned in reasonable clean condition you will be charged $250 cleaning fee"
So what are they considering "reasonable" if they have already lied about the cost of add ons and if they have my credit card hold deposit.
DO NOT RENT FROM THIS CARE SERVICE. EVEN IF ON WELL KNOW BOOKING AGENCIES

Dear Kerri,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear about the frustration and disappointment you encountered during your rental.

We understand how concerning it must have been to experience differences between the amount prepaid through Booking.com and the total charges presented at the rental location. Please note that reservations made through third-party platforms typically cover the base rental rate and any selected options at the time of booking. Additional requirements—such as security deposits, verification of acceptable insurance coverage, or the purchase of supplemental protection—are determined at the rental counter based on the renter’s documentation and the location’s policies. These terms are disclosed during the booking process and again at the counter prior to finalizing the rental.

Regarding the security deposit, this is a standard authorization held on a valid credit card for the duration of the rental and is released in accordance with the terms of the agreement, provided all conditions are met. Similarly, cleaning fees are only applied in cases where the vehicle is returned in a condition that requires excessive or specialized cleaning beyond normal use.

We regret that the location and shuttle experience did not meet your expectations, and we understand how this may have added to your overall dissatisfaction. Your feedback is important and will be shared with our Phoenix Supplier as we continue working to improve both our communication and customer experience.

If you would like us to review your reservation and the charges in detail, please provide the following:

1. Confirmation number (ending in NU) or Rental Agreement number
2. Pickup date and time
3. Primary driver’s name

We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to address your concerns.

Sincerely,
Customer Support Team

Dear Ronald,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced at pickup and understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive with a reservation and find that a vehicle was not immediately available.

While reservations secure a booking in our system, vehicle availability can occasionally be affected by factors such as delayed returns, extended rentals, or unexpected operational issues. In such situations, the location may provide the next available vehicle as soon as one becomes ready. We understand that being asked to wait can be inconvenient, and we apologize for the disruption to your plans.

Reservations made through third-party booking platforms such as Expedia are also subject to the rental location’s availability and policies at the time of pickup. However, we would be happy to review your case further to better understand what occurred.

To assist you, please provide the following details:

1. Confirmation number (ending in NU) or Rental Agreement number
2. Pickup date and time
3. Primary driver’s name

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and look forward to assisting you further.

Sincerely,
Customer Support Team

Crooks!

-10. The worst experience with a car rental place. Do not go to this place. I rented a car through Priceline . By the time I got to check in I had to pay 💰 for extras like vehicle damage waiver. If I didn’t accept it I would be refused a car. This was at Denver, Colorado airport!

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your rental experience did not meet your expectations and understand how frustrating unexpected charges can be.

Please note that reservations made through third-party platforms such as Priceline typically cover the base rental rate only. Additional requirements—such as a Loss Damage Waiver or other forms of coverage—may be required depending on the rental location’s policies or if acceptable proof of insurance is not provided at the time of pickup. These requirements are outlined in the rental terms and conditions and are also reviewed at the counter before the rental agreement is finalized.

Our location at Denver International Airport follows these procedures to ensure that all rentals meet the necessary coverage requirements before a vehicle can be released.

If you would like us to review your reservation and the charges applied, please provide the following details so we can look into the matter further:

1. Confirmation number (ending in NU) or Rental Agreement number
2. Pickup date and time
3. Primary driver’s name

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and look forward to assisting you further.

If I could give it zero

If I could give it zero, i would have. Do NOT rent from them. NO customer service. You will never get through to a person. Within 3 weeks of my rental i requested to change the primary driver. I did receive an email that said to provide driver and lic number which i did. ASked for confirmation. No response. Asked again, no response. Called, no response. Called many times..on hold and no response. Showed up to pick up car and was denied because driver was never changed. They would not honor the reservation despite showing proof of SINGLE communication to change driver. Lost the reservation and had to spend additional $225 for last minute rental with a dif company. I would NEVER rent from them or their sister company ACTION rental again!!!

Dear Mary,

Please see the response we received from our MCO Affiliate.

"Please be advised that we are not authorized to change the name on a reservation. As such, we are unable to update the name on our end, and only the individual listed on the reservation is permitted to pick up the vehicle.

This has been communicated to the customer."

Sincerely,
Haidee

==================================

Dear Mary,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience you encountered with your rental. We understand how upsetting it must have been to have your reservation affected despite your efforts to update the primary driver.

Please know that changes to the primary driver are subject to verification and confirmation from the rental location, and it appears that in this instance, the communication did not reach the team in time. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have, and we deeply regret the inconvenience and additional costs you incurred.

Your feedback has been shared with the relevant team and our Orlando supplier under Ticket #362421 to review the situation and improve our processes. 

We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to restore your trust in the future.

Kind regards,

Cher Jacques,

Veuillez trouver ci-joint la réponse que nous avons reçue de notre fournisseur de Marrakech.

« Chère équipe,

Merci pour votre courriel.

Veuillez noter que le client a présenté deux cartes American Express au comptoir. Conformément à nos conditions générales de location, les cartes American Express ne sont pas acceptées pour l'autorisation du dépôt de garantie.

Le client n'a présenté aucune autre carte de crédit valide répondant aux exigences du dépôt. Afin d'éviter l'annulation de la réservation et de trouver une solution, notre équipe a proposé au client de souscrire une assurance de remboursement de dépôt plutôt que de bloquer le montant de ce dernier.

Le client a accepté cette option et a procédé à la location. Veuillez trouver ci-joint le contrat de location signé confirmant l'acceptation du client. »

Cordialement,
Haidee

=========================

Dear Jacques,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation must have been.

Please note that the security deposit is typically blocked on a credit card under the main driver’s name and must meet the rental location’s requirements. In some cases, certain cards may not be accepted for the deposit due to bank restrictions, card type, or authorization issues. When the deposit cannot be secured, the rental provider may offer additional insurance as an alternative to proceed with the rental.

We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is important and will be shared with our Marrackech Supplier under Ticket #365230.

Kind regards,
Customer Support Team
