Total scam!! Went through Expedia and they gave me this company. Price was set and Pkup location was airport. I press reserve and the price changes and Location is not Airport.. call place to cancel and am told i have to go Through booking agent to cancel. There is no itinerary number, so Expedia cant help.. absolute scam!! Please google them and see all the dishonesty with this company! Expedia is not Blameless either. How they can have a company represent them and screw over customers is beyond me!! Just don't. read more

Not surprised this place has just 3 stars it's insane how this type of companies treat people like stupid selling on website's something that's not even what you get the show you cheap cars and cheap covers protection but they don't even send you emails confirming then because you don't find your email they make you buy protection from them way higher they open 9 am if your fly is early then that they make you pay $50 dollars extra for you to leave the car in the airport parking plus $500 dollars deposit but the sign not of this it's infórmate before you pay online to be engaged read more

Great price and extraordinary customer service. Ill recommend it for anyone how is looking for easy booking and affordable car. I got one that was almost brand new very low in mileage, clean with all the security gadgets. Definitely be back to rent here again next trip. read more

My main complaint is the sneaky extra charge for dropping of the car at the airport. The instructions they sent me to return it told me one thing then I find out that it was an extra VIP service. The fine print I didn't see explained that. The other issue was with pick up. Their last shuttle pick up at the airport at Tampa International Airport is at 4:30 pm!! I had to run to catch it. The close way too early for practical purposes. read more

Quick pick up at the airport and was in my car within 15 minutes of arriving at the office. Friendly staff clean car that ran well and even with an extension had great customer service. read more

I rented a car from DFG Rental car and was forced to pay $150.00 due to the fact that I was 3 hour late for the return of the car. In my case, this was a ludicrous way to treat a user of their service. I have filed a complaint with my Credit Card company regarding this incident. Anyone that is thinking of using this company should think long and hard about it and definitely not use them. It is an idiotic way to treat anyone that thought DFG was trustworthy because they are not. I am giving them a terrible review due to the way I was treated by them. read more

It took an hour to get from the airport to the car rental place. We texted them as soon as we arrived to let them know we were ready, but when their van showed up, they said they didn't have room for us and that we weren't on the list. There was no list. Returning the car was also a hassle. We filled the car with gas a quarter of a mile from the rental place. The gas gauge would not register that it was filled which we figured was no big deal since we had the receipt. The girl at the rental place did not seem surprised at all that this happened and told us we could go ahead to the airport and she would wait five minutes to see if the gas tank filled before she charged us. So we had to wait another 40 minutes to make sure the gas gauge filled, which is how long it took. It was incredibly shady that the girl who worked there knew exactly what to do in the hopes that we would have to leave immediately and they could charge us for not filling the tank. Over the course of the 40 minutes it took for the gas gauge to fill, their one little van had left and not returned so we had to pay an Uber to get to the airport. read more

I would never consider ever renting here again. It was through NU car rental and it was all about hidden fees. They clearly have a strategy to price cheaply and then get it out of you later. Who needs that. Just be honest and charge a fair price upfront. No need for games and gimmicks. There are a lot of better choices to rent a vehicle and this place is definitely not it. read more

Fantastic experience start to finish. Great prices. Communication was great, very specific and timely. Their customer service was friendly and prompt. I got a brand new car for the entire week, highly recommend give them a try! read more

The service was great, would highly recommend Was pickup at the airport a five minutes drive read more

Favi was amazing, very helpful with everything. Wonderful customer service. I recommend working with this company and her.

Had a great experience with Nü rental/DFG rent a car. Fabi was in charge the whole trip. She picked me up from the airport door to door service. We chi chatted on the way to pick up the car. She guided me into the office, (she was the only one there because her coworker unfortunately was sick) and she walked me through all the charges, and how the sun pass worked. I brought my own ezpass from home, but realized with the new pay by plate option that it was just more practical to avoid tolls rather pay the fees. The credit card hold was a little more than I'm used to, but it didn't deter me from signing the receipt. I had a brand new Nissan with 15 miles on it! It was fantastic on gas!! When it was time to fly home, Fabi messaged me the address to bring the rental back. When I pulled up, she was outside vacuuming one of the previous rentals. Talk about a hard worker! She promptly stopped what she was doing to check over my return and bring me back to the airport. Our conversation was even better on the way back! She is such a kind girl, who I hope to do business with again when I come back to Tampa! read more

Overall a 5+! No waiting in line at the airport for over an hour, then at the counter for 20 min. Their shuttle picked us up promptly, and secrete in and out of their office, on our way in 10 min. in a brand new SUV! SAME EXPERIENCE on our drop off. Will do this every time we fly into Tampa. read more

I should have listened to the bad reviews and saved myself a few hundred dollars. I asked about full coverage insurance at pickup since Expedia only offers partial, and they told me there was only one option. I agreed and paid. When I returned the car, they pointed out a small scratch on the wheel. The scratch was such a non issue, that I wouldn't have noticed it or thought anything of it when picking up the car even if it was there already but fine, I accepted responsibility. Surely, a small scratch would be covered by a full coverage option, right? Well, apparently there is a second full coverage option, they now claimed, which was never offered to me initially, which costs over $60 per day, but the full coverage option I selected (the only one they offered me when I asked!!!) would NOT cover it and they proceeded to charge me $350. I asked why I wasn't offered both full coverage options, and the woman who claimed to be the supervisor stated "I wasn't there so I don't know what you were offered". How convenient. I also asked for a copy of both full coverage options and a schedule of fees for damages because I didn't know HOW they came up with $350 for a small scratch and she refused and said they don't have a fee schedule & that a mechanic would determine the price. So why was I charged an arbitrary price prior to a mechanic quoting a price? Are they running a scam? Maybe not entirely as they do rent out cars, but do they use highly unethical business practices to rip people off? Absolutely. Additionally, this highly unprofessional hut that they operate out of is super inconvenient for the airport. Their shuttle service takes so long I ended up paying an additional $60 in ubers to get from the airport to their hut. Do yourself a favor and rent from a real company. You'll end up saving yourself a lot of money, stress and time in the end. read more

FIRSTLY A few weeks ago I rented a car for a few days, they didn't inform me that I had to show them full insurance, it was Sunday, after almost two hours I managed to show them. SECONDLY I didn't buy a toll on the motorway from them, I paid myself when I drove by I wanted to send them the bills that I paid, unfortunately, but they didn't accept it and took $38 from my credit card I don't recommend them, they are thieves read more

This establishment is great. Fabi was excellent and professional. She went above and beyond to insure that my needs were met when renting a vehicle. The car was very clean and I got a upgrade on the vehicle. A 2023 Toyota Corolla. The car was clean and the location is near the Tampa International Airport. It is located on West Crest Road, approximately 3 miles from the airport. The rates were reasonable and I went through Priceline to rent my car. Fabi was so kind and kept me informed as to where and how to return my vehicle via email and text. I would highly recommend NU car rental. It is small but they have new vehicles and are comparable to the high end car rental places that have higher prices. If I need to rent a vehicle again I would definitely return to NU car rental. I rate a 5 out of 5. Thank you Fabi and Francisco for being so nice. Sincerely, Sharon Hopkins read more

I will never rent from this place again. They sent a text message to me about getting instructions on how to return a car after hours. I was supposed to respond back to them to get those instructions. I responded and they never text back. I tried to leave a voicemail and that was not available as well. Seeing that I needed to return the car before their 9 AM Opening time I returned it to the airport which they call their VIP service. They charged me $50. Had there been some other option or someone had returned a text I would have left the car somewhere else. Not accommodating at all. This was not what I needed after leaving a memorial service and having to get back home early for another emergency. read more

Everything! Fabi was amazing and the car was perfect! I have never rented a car that was so sparkling clean. It was a bit of a trip from the airport but all of the directions while in the airport were very clear and got there in plenty of time. Allowed more time to return to airport before flight. Carlos was great both ways. Really excellent ! Hope to use this company again. If we come back to Tampa! read more

Not recommended 1- HIDDEN FEES. Even tho the booking AND confirmations say unlimited mileage MULTIPLE places, it's NOT! They charge you extra per day for unlimited mileage. You are only allowed 50 miles a day on the price you get online. 2- PETTY TRICKS - I got the car "full" at 415 miles but was 1/2 empty around 275 miles. Turned out that the car is actually full at 500 miles so it WASN'T full when I got it. They tried to sell me a toll pass for $60 when the total toll that I was going to take was $7.50! Lastly, They could do a better job cleaning the cars. read more

Very good experience! Staff was courteous and cars very clean. Would recommend this as an economical option in Tampa !

Smooth seamless rent a car for a good price. Picked us up at the airport, drove us back no issue. Clean car. Thanks again

Fabi was really great. Extremely helpful, and super friendly! And driver Carlos was also super great! Would definitely rent from here again!! read more

Crooks!!!! You have to buy their car insurance because they don't except my insurance with full coverage. I will say the front desk lady was very polite. But this owner Fransico definitely is a professional scammer. If you don't buy the daily sunpass and you go thru a toll. You are charged $35. Now they say you sign a form stating you will not go thru toll booths. Now I have a sunpass transponder and I put the car license plate on my account for rental. Well the transponder did not pick up on 2 different days on the skyway. So $1.16 each time. total of $2.32 yet I have a charge of $78 If I didn't have proof a transponder in car during those dates of rental. I would understand being charged. No I had around $500 rental car fee so they made plenty! Especially the confirmation I had said unlimited mileage and $10 a day rental. Well the crooks said 50 miles a day and I paid $42 a day rental. I knew some gimmick but don't give me confirmation of lies and change rules when I pick up the car. I even let the lady say I gave a 5 star review, until this charge WTF. Not to mention when I put the license plate on my account. It wouldn't let me first because they haven't paid their past charges. They collect money but don't pay their invoice. Just a shady crook in shady part of town. I believe in Karma so I'm sure this crook deserves to get no business, SCAMMERS WITH NO ETHICS read more

great experience with this car rental company. Smaller, personal, great customer service

The whole experience renting with DFG was great! Francisco had great communication from the time I booked the rental until I returned. They have a shuttle that will take you to their rental place. Brand new vehicle, great price! I recommend them 100% La experiencia de rentar con DFG fue fenomenal, definitivamente rentaría con ellos nuevamente. Francisco realmente se preocupa por la atención al cliente. Vehículo nuevo y precios muy accesibles. read more

Avoid them. They are scammers. I booked a car for a week and when I came to pick it up they demanded $3000-6000, I have never met such gangsters read more

Unprofessional, dishonest pricing and rough vehicles as inventory. Online pricing does not reflect true pricing in store. Save your time and money and go to another rental car establishment. read more

Renters Beware. Absolutely horrIble. stood outside in a business suit for 20 minutes waiting for the business to open. My appointment was at 9. Lady arrived and open the gate at 9:24. Gave her my license and credit card. They did not take American Express. My other cards were inside of my truck which was destroyed in the hurricane. Called my wife to give me a master card number, and they would not accept that as they had to physically see the card. Then informed me that contrary to the online reservation, the mileage was limited to 50 miles a day. Lady could barely speak English and could care less about accommodating the customer. I tried to patronize a local business as I am a lifelong resident of Tampa. Big mistake. Don't ever use this rental business , and don't be fooled by the misrepresented prices and inclusions as I was. read more

I cannot say enough great things about DFG/Nu. A family medical emergency brought me to the Tampa area, and it's been a challenging week. DFG/Nu went over the top to make having a car during this time simple and worry free. From the start, I was in contact with Fabi, who laid out detailed instructions via text and answered all of my questions right away. They sent a car to pick me up at the airport, which was there right away. The driver was very kind and an excellent driver. After the short drive I was greeted by Fabi who was very empathetic to my situation and family. The process was quick and the car was new, clean and drove great. I had to extend my rental 2 more times during my stay, and it was as simple as sending a text and confirmation, and they accommodated me without any issue. After I turned the car back in, I was asked about my family and the return process took less than 2 minutes and I was on my way. Thank you to all of the great service and caring employees. I will absolutely be back. read more

I have rented twice with DFG. Both times I have made my reservations online , and when I arrived at the office even though there was a line of customers already there I was waited on immediately. The staff at DFG was professional and courteous and quickly completed the paperwork and had my car ready to go which was clean and shiny as always. I would like to thank the young lady who helped me on 8/1/2024. She had remembered me from a previous visit and that always makes a customer feel valued. I highly recommend DFG rent a car. Steve Stine read more

DFG was amazing!! Car was brand new and was very clean. Will be using again whenever I'm back down in Tampa

Great experience and good customer service and best price in town if you going to Tampa hit them up

I wish I could give 0 stars. I booked through Expedia, where it said $87 and no other fees. When I go to the location, They tried to charge well over $700. Granted, $500 was a returnable security deposit, coming up with that on the spot after just being in a car accident that totaled my vehicle was impossible. Then, the advertisement said unlimited miles, and when I got there I was told 50 miles per day. My job alone is 20 miles away, so 40 back and forth so I've been stuck doing nothing but work and back every day. Seriously, what the hell was the point of renting a car? I could've just ubered for cheaper. Then, I tried to get a refund because I found an airtag in the vehicle and the smell inside was so horrible that I drove with the windows down the whole time. A gps tracker is one thing, but putting an airtag in a vehicle that alerted my phone was completely unprofessional. As a 22 year old woman that is alone most of the day, getting a notification that says "You're being followed by an Airtag" was scary! I literally called the police because I didn't know if someone was trying to harm me or what. It's INSANE the amount of things that went wrong. I'll never use this company again, I will tell all of my friends and family to avoid them, and I will instead use a competitor and hope they go out of business for the slimy, sketchy company they're running. read more

Excellent prices, very nice staff. We have used this company multiple times and will continue to use them when in the Tampa area.

Fabi was so helpful. She gave us great service and excellent advice on places to see when here. So friendly and kind. She really took care of us! read more
