AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!
My husband and I booked a rental from Priceless Rental in Orlando, FL for our honeymoon. The price and car quoted were perfect. We had actually planned to rent a manual car because my new husband loves driving manual. We also purchased insurance from their website in addition to our current insurance policy. We were able to find the shuttle from the airport fine and were taken to the actual location for the rental. Here is where it went downhill and completely ruined our honeymoon from then on. First we had to wait about 45 mins to get waited on, he staff kept going into the back room and ending conversations with customers to literally stare at the TV. We were told our debit card would be charged an additional $25 a day for insurance on top of the previously paid insurance due to using a debit card over credit. Now, we did arrive at the airport at 2am for our flight so were a bit tired and just wanted to get to the hotel. We paid this additional amount then were given a car which still had tape on the sides on the doors, looked like it was cleaned with a window sponge cleaner, and was not a manual (which we were the told they don't even offer). We got in the car and headed down the road off to finally enjoy our honeymoon. Once we were in the car for 5 minutes I realized I knew where the credit card was, we turned right back around to see if the additional $25 a day could be credited and we could use the credit card for the hold. The man working the counter rolled his eyes at me, highlighted a spot on the agreement and told me there was nothing he could do. I asked for a manager who could possibly help and he told me, he was in charge and nothing could be done. I come from a position of overseeing customer service reps and would have gladly made this work out to make the customer happy. This was to be a very happy time for us and he seemed I completely annoyed him.
Off we went to the hotel, it wasn't worth my time to argue over this when it was to celebrate. Now, for the return of the car. We had a flight to return home at 8:35 am. Arrived and had filled the gas tank, etc at 7am, allowing more than enough time for the return, check in and 5 minute ride to the airport. There were 2 people renting cars. We were told e had to go to another counter to return. The employees kept going back in the back room an number of times leaving the customers at their counters. Close to 30 minutes later we were finally able to have someone come to the "return" counter to check us out. The shuttle had been sitting waiting. Again the rep had to go into the back number of times, I still am not sure for what. Finally, we board the shuttle. The driver asks for our airline which we tell him. He drops us off and tells us the gate should be right there. Now we are pushing 7:45am almost. We walk in only to learn the gate we had told him was on the other side of the airport. Even after my husband and myself run through the airport they advise we are too late to check bags because we won't have time to get through security. Our only choice was to pay an additional fee, fly later, fly into another airport and then try to get transportation to the airport we flew out of to retrieve the car.
I am so disgusted by how this company handled our situation as well a others in the lobby while we waited each time. To the point on customer wanted to return car she just rented due to low air light being on, she was told just drive it a little and it should go away. To the man who purchased insurance who was told he had to produce his individual documents in addition to their insurance. I would highly urge you to reconsider doing business with this company. Their reviews speak for their selves and I wish I had seen previously. I would never wish this experience on my worst enemy, or anyone else on their honeymoon. From the customer service reps to the shuttle dropping off at the wrong location this was one of the worst companies I have ever experienced. read more
