Pros:pricing was one thing
Cons:. a little seedy. car was not clean inside or out. the rental signing process a little outdated and in an uncomfortable setting. In the end, the pricing was not that much cheaper than the nationals/brand names. The policy about the rental period is strict. severe penalty for dropping off after 24 hour period...so ridiculous that I uber'ed to a couple places after I returned the car. My flight came in early and I picked up an hour earlier than anticipated but was leaving at my expected time 26 hours later. 2 extra hours was double the cost.
Pros:The car worked.
Cons:They were rude when we picked up the car, they were incredibly rude when calling our insurance provider, whom we know personally. They were incredibly vague about the drop-off policy and threatened an abandonment fee when I even brought it up. I called corporate to resolve the issue and the people I spoke to, serveral people, we're even more rude, dismissive, and insulting. I was out in hold mid-sentence and transferred without any notification to the stor, which had no idea why I'd been transferred. I completely regret using them. The car had an air freshener hanging from the nirror, but still smelled.
Cons:Car smelled like cigarettes. Booked online which apparently was the wrong thing to do. The company has no communication with online booking company.
Pros:Price
Cons:Tire was bad and went flat and ESPECIALLY the sorry DONUT SPARE tire in the trunk that is not safe for highway driving.
Rent-A-Wreck is a dubious company. First, they lied on their listing by stating they're located 'in Terminal' on their Kayak profile. They are an off-site location requiring a shuttle. Secondly, they promote a base rent amount inclusive of taxes, which makes it seem that it's the final price. Upon arriving at the rental location, the reservation price triples when they add approximately 13 additional charges, and the employees claim they cannot be removed. Finally, the place is significantly understaffed, the staff who are there don't care about being efficient or expeditious about getting clients into a vehicle, and the cars that they do bring out are in a mediocre state of cleanliness. I think that Kayak and Expedia need to take a hard look at this company.
Pros:Quick shuttle service to and from airport, clean car, good value overall.
Pros:Slightly cheaper price
Cons:Had to call to find out that we wanted the Colonial Airport Parking shuttle after we waited for a while hoping for a Rent-A-Wreck shuttle. Car smelled like cigarette smoke and windows were a bit foggy on the inside. The office wasn't marked The guys at the drop off place weren't particularly helpful with my questions.
Web page shows c. As Canadian prices and no where stating US drivers license required
Very bad. Rude operator once you finally get a hold of them. They took an hr for shuttle to pick me up. Get there and there was extra charges and I had no choice but to move forward with the rental. half the other car rentals where out of cars or closing
Pros:Clean car on inside despite scratches all over the outside. Shuttle drivers personable. Rental staff nice.
Cons:Not convenient to airport. You need to take normal rental car shuttle and then wait for another shuttle, that with traffic took 20 minutes to pick me up and another 15 minutes back to office. Thus, spent lots of time just getting shuttle. Not convenient to Midway. The extra time certainly not worth the few dollar savings.
