WORST experience I have ever had traveling ANYWHERE!! DO NOT. RENT WITH THIS GUY. Jerry had us meet him at a Costco food court then prompted us to follow him to a nearby storage unit to get the scooters. From the get go it was sketchy. He pulled out some cheap word document "contracts" and got into OUR rental car to fill out the paperwork. It was over 45 minutes from our scheduled pick up time to when we actually had access to the scooters. While doing the "paperwork" Jerry demanded a deposit.. asked us if we had $100-$200 in cash or Venmo to give him money (we had already paid for the service in full online). We said no, and that we had already paid him upfront for the service. He continued to push for money and even asked for our DRIVERS LICENSES for collateral to keep until we returned the scooters. We declined and eventually said his "contract" states if the scooters are lost or damaged beyond repair we have to pay him $2000, isn't that enough? (Mind you, these scooters are $850 brand new - and his were in already in AWFUL condition).
Fast forward not even FIVE minutes into driving the scooters, one of them blows a tire completely (literally explodes, thankfully no one was injured and we were able to pull over safely). They were all swerving all over the road, the brakes would squeak and not work at times, one of the scooters didn't even have gas in it - and Jerry made US fill the tank with a spare gas can from his trunk.
We called him to inform him the scooters were not safe and he came back insisting on replacing the scooter with a flat tire and giving us a new one. At this point we were so pissed off with the experience I said just give me my money back this is ridiculous. He said there no cancellation policy and refused to refund us. We offered him the opportunity to refund us and we would walk away without writing reviews or reporting it. He refused. Amex will block the charge and he will not receive any money from us.
Jerry is unreasonable, unprofessional, and extremely sketchy. He got into our rental car and repeatedly said cuss words in front of my 9 year old niece and he insulted the locals multiple times saying we need to "lock the bikes up everywhere because the locals here are dirt poor and f***ing stupid" (verbatim his words not mine, which is insulting because we love Kauai and come here often. Every local we've ever met has been a great person, we did not appreciate that)
DO. NOT. RENT. FROM. THIS. MAN. Amex has already agreed to reverse the charge once it is posted and everyone we know who comes to Kauai will be warned not to work with him. read more
