The place I dropped the car off at. I paid $125 for the rental a few days in advance. My plane lands at 4pm I wait at this location for almost 2 hours. Got the car about 6pm and was told to return at the Brooklyn, NY location at 5:50pm. The employees were chill but the process took forever. This wasn't the bad part.
I drive from Philly to Brooklyn the next day, drop my stuff off at the hotel and go to drop the car off about 5:50pm and this guy working in the garage tells me they're closed. Sign on the door (attached) says they closed at 12pm, they're closed Sunday and open on Monday.
I drive back and call customer service. On hold for 1.5 hours, they put me on hold so they can call the location, 30 minutes later, I get hung up on. I call again, on hold for 1.5 hours, person answers, I tell them the situation, get hung up on again. I get charged $100 for having the car still, I call back the next day. On hold 1-2 hours, no answer but get hung up on.
I get charged another $200 before they even open Monday morning and return the car, they take the keys, no prob. Then get a bill for $737.
Call customer service they tell me I need to talk to another department, they say they're going to get me straight to someone, I get put on hold, then the phone hangs up. Still trying to stay calm.
I talk to someone this morning they tell me a manager is going to call me by 2:30pm. I call them back at 3:30pm and she gets me to a manager, he tells me because I had the car I'm responsible for the extra days but he refunded me all the extra charges.
I ended up paying $521 for using a car for 2 days, and even though they're mistake made me hang on to their POS car, I paid for it.
I've rented many cars before, and this is by far, hands down, the worst car rental experience I have ever had and will tell everyone I ever meet about it. read more
