SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE AND DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!
I made my reservation through Expedia, and was really happy with the rate of $40 a day. Once I got to the pickup location, first, the guy was the most unprofessional guy, leaning back in his chair with his feet on the counter, casually opening some container with fruit in it, sharing with someone else, and being uncooperative. It was 9pm. I was given an estimate of $84.12, which included liability insurance of $14.99, which was my option, toll pass (which was pushed by the counter person and didn't even need) at $9.99. I left the airport in the car, and it had already started raining pretty bad. It seems that the seal on the car door wasn't right, because it started leaking straight on me. I immediately called their 800 number, which by the way, is a hot mess to get through and at some point I even heard an option of "if you got a home bill collections letter" and "if you need an attorney", press such and such number. I finally get through an operator and she says I have to call back in the morning to see if they have another car to exchange it for. I ended up keeping the car and driving the whole next day 8 hours to Atlanta. I tried several times to call their customer service number to let them know I'd be there right on time, but never got a person. I finally get to the location, only to find that the EZ rentacar booth was closed, lights off, and no person in sight and no sign. They are listed to be open 24 hours. I went to another agency booth and they told me I had to turn the car in with a different company. Getting around the Atlanta airport to "the other company" took almost 30 minutes. Once I got there, I had to wait another 25 minutes for the lady to process the return. She just handed me a receipt at some point in between other clients and that was it...until I noticed that the "new" and previously undisclosed amount, came to $137.18. Not only did they charge me for the (unnecessary and unrequested) toll pass, and liability insurance, both per "calendar day" instead of a 24 hour rental (total scam), but they tacked on a bunch of other bogus charges, like a "tire battery fee" and some "concession fee", PLUS, they had the audacity to charge me $13.33 for a one hour late drop off fee. When I called their customer service, and finally got a person, all she kept saying is that they have my signature and can charge me anything they want. She REFUSED for 45 minutes to let me talk to a manager, saying "at this company, it is not possible to speak with a manager". She finally took off the one hour charge (how gracious), and never even addressed the fact that they gave me a messed up car. My phone was plugged in the whole way for GPS and kept getting kicked off. Such a crap car (Kia). I did call my cc company and they are disputing the bogus charges. We'll see. Meanwhile, save yourself the headache and go with a reputable company. Even my cc company felt that there is something fishy about this company and the way they scam people. read more
