Summary: I am writing this review travel costa rica as a warning to others. If I had checked the BBB before renting a vehicle from this company, I would have known better. After reading the complaints, it is obvious that the business' policy is to deny, deny, deny or ignore the facts, ignore the facts, ignore the facts as they did when I complained directly to them. Based upon their automatically generated email, "Your concern has been sent to the appropriate location manager for resolution" So they sent it to the manager I was complaining about automatically....Great!
I was looking for an affordable car rental rather quickly for a total of just over 24 hours due to a family travel costa rica tragedy. I would be arriving at Orlando travel costa rica airport in the early afternoon(approx 1 PM) and leaving out the next evening( around 7 PM). Upon a family recommendation, I used a popular web site. Once I made my choice as to what company I would use(based solely upon price and not checking BBB), I was offered the option of purchasing comprehensive insurance for my auto rental for $18 flat fee. I chose to purchase the insurance as I do not have comprehensive on my auto policy and the price seemed very reasonable.
The following is a true and honest account travel costa rica of my experience with this company. I didn't file a complaint because I can't imagine what the company could possibly do to make up for the horrific experience I had in which their manager made a difficult experience practically impossible. I arrived at the car rental company (after taking the shuttle) at approximately 1:30 pm on Sunday 8-17-14, did not leave with a car until approximately 4:30 pm and returned it prior to 7pm on Monday 8-18-14. One last important note: I am disabled and can not get through an airport unassisted. Upon arrival at the airport:
? I was then given a form to indicate any damage on the vehicle and was told that if there was any damage to fill it out and sign it and return it to the desk, if there was no damage then I did not need to sign it.
To say that I am unsatisfied with my experience is a huge understatement. I am appalled travel costa rica at the entire situation and livid to have been placed in the situation. The majority of this review is literally the complaint I made to the company, who responded by telling me that they take complaints seriously & that the form that they were trying to force me to sign after lying to me about my comprehensive coverage was for my own protection as well as theirs and that they were closing my case. This was after I literally said this to them " I have no idea what your company could do to make it up to me but if you have any integrity at all, I expect that you will at least try. " Obviously, they have no integrity based upon my experiences before, during and after my rental.
Also of note, I did contact the web site that I made my initial reservation. Their response was "We fear you were almost the victim of a salesperson travel costa rica looking to earn a commission selling insurance. We applaud the fact that you did not purchase their insurance. You were fully covered and the policy probably had higher limits than what they wanted to sell you for double or triple the rate."
was a Nissan Versa. The clerk told that they would hold $250 on my credit card until I returned the car and it needed to be "filled travel costa rica up with gas". I had to go get the car out of the lot myself. No agent walked around the car to verify existing damage, they said, because I had collision coverage on my insurance. After driving two miles down the interstate, I noticed the car was on "empty". I had to exit the interstate immediately to get gas. When I tried to call the Payless number on the receipt to get clarification on the gas policy, the system was totally automated and there was no way to speak to a person. I had to call American Express and they called Payless travel costa rica on my behalf. Come to find out, I was supposed to bring the car back the way it was given to me. The documentation travel costa rica they gave said there was a 1/4 of a tank in the car, but there was NO gas. When I asked if I could get a refund on the 1/2 tank I returned, I was told "No". Finally, I had to drive the car to the service area in the parking lot.
Similar Products Used: Other car rental companies deliver cars gassed travel costa rica up and they pull the car up for your convenience. At other car rental companies, I bet a Nissan Versa would be considered a "compact" car.
Summary: Payless Car Rental was horrible! STAY AWAY from Payless travel costa rica Car Rental!!! They will waste your time and money. They lied to me about the contract, slipping in extra charges for damage travel costa rica coverage that I told them 3 times I did NOT want!!! Just read all the other reviews on the web and you will quickly see they are a dishonest shady company that only cares about screwing customers over and fleecing their money, legitimately or not!
Summary: this was a trip that we were so excited about. We were going to visit family in Virginia, my younger cousin made reservations based on the cost match with other companies, however you get what you pay for. when we first arrived on their lot there were a limited number of vehicles which should've been a red flag,then the car that was reserved was too small and filthy,so we had to upgrade travel costa rica to a minivan which also was disgusting stains, smells etc worse car i ever rented. and on the way to Virginia mine you its august one of the hottest months in the summer the a/c was on then i noticed water dripping on my feet,inside the car, never have i experienced this even in my own vehicle, on the way back the car was in cruise control and sped up suddenly on its own, so fast i even had trouble stopping the car when the police hit their sirens, i then realized i was driving a toyota around the same time that they had been recalled for the exact same problem. When we returned the car I immediately reported both problems to jacob who assured travel costa rica me that he would have the manager get back in touch with me for further discussion. After 3days went by and no one contacted me i called back and spoke briefly with the mgr named kenny who i reported this problem travel costa rica and suggested that they have this car removed off the road and checked for maintenance. the next day i called back to see what the outcome was and he assured me that"their mechanic checked travel costa rica the vehicle travel costa rica and their was nothing wrong" as if i was imagining these things. after that I requested if i can have a letter stating travel costa rica that I reported this as a problem so that if something else happened i can have proof that i tried to save a life.I was immediately rushed off the phone an told" we cant give you that". why? i asked and he was so rude he just hung up the phone. I am still trying to contact kenny for a letter, or something that i can keep for my files that says i reported this as a problem.That's not even to discuss whose going to have to pay this speeding ticket from the raggedy vehicle that we rented? thinking travel costa rica we was getting a deal, it cost us more in the end. I say pay the extra $30 it will save your life and others travel costa rica trust me. you get what you pay for plus taxes and fines..lol
In searching for car rental rates for our trip to Orlando I saw a company called Payless, who we had never used, had the best rate. So I booked online, reserved the lowest priced car and we made our way to Florida.
I called their local office before we left to find out about how they run their shuttles from the airport to their off-site location. I was told that they have shuttles coming through every 10-15 minutes, but we could also call when picking up our baggage. So that's what I did. We got our bags and I gave them a call. We then went outside and WAITED and watched all of the other big-name companies shuttles come and go several travel costa rica times with no sign of Payless in sight. I called a second time and then after a total of 45-50 minutes their shuttle finally came.
So we get to their dirty office and stand in a line of 6 people. They were so under-staffed that it took 15-20 minutes to get to the counter. When I did I was greeted by "Omar", who seemed nice at first until he became frustrated that I would not be interested in upgrading or buying their insurance ( I have an Amex gold card that covers insurance). He told me that they would have to run my credit card through for a pre-authorized amount of $350 since I would not buy their insurance. I've never had a rental company do this before, but OK I let him do it.
Now he is finishing up my paperwork and informs me that the type of car that I rented (economy-base price) Is blocked in on their back lot and will take some time for them to get out. BUT if I wanted to PAY to upgrade to another car he could have me out of there right away.
Have you every heard of this??? Anytime I have rented a car and the company did not have the one I reserved ready to go they would give me one of equal or better class without asking me to pay for an upgrade.
I told him that I would wait for the economy car. 30 minutes goes by and still no car. I go back to the counter and tell him that I do not appreciate the games that they are playing. He tells me again that the car is still blocked in and that I can PAY for an upgrade which is readily travel costa rica available. I said NO, get me a manager. Instead of getting a manager he then tells me that my car will be up shortly. Five minutes later I'm told that our car is ready- a Nissan Cube, small sport utility
