No car available upon arrival. Rental car desk was not found — no signage, not at rental car center, other agencies had never heard of them. International call to agency, and I was informed they had no cars and would not be able to honor my ressy!

It was the worst experience I have ever had with a rental car company. The guy came 2 hours late to bring me the car. We were calling and waiting and he came 2 hours late without saying anything. Then the car was given very dirty inside, even with food that we had to throw away. After 45 minutes driving in the highway one of the tires popped and we had to go on the side of the highway to change the tire. Another surprise came up when we found out that the car does not have a spare tire. We tried to call the guy for help but he did not reply. So I had to call the national emergency number. They brought us a tow truck and drove us to the nearest car shop to fix the tire. They put 2 new tires and told me that the reason the tire popped was because the direction system of the car was in bad conditions so the tires were wearing out badly. Everything was written down in the receipt I got from the mechanic. I paid almost 500 euros for that. Then on my way back to Paris to return the car, I texted the guy to meet at 13:30 to return the car where the guy replied “ok I will be there”. I had my flight at 16:30 so we had to meed to fix this issue then I could go to the airport for my flight. As the pick up date, he arrived almost 2 hours late. There was then a nice guy there that helped me translate everything so I could communicate with this guy who didn’t speak any english. He really tried for us to leave without paying for any of the expenses I paid, trying to scam me in many ways. I then threaten calling the police if I didn’t get a refund from all those expenses as the fix was a big mistake from the company for having the car in bad conditions. My life could be at risk on the road. Then after 2 hours arguing he finally sent me the money but costing me to miss my flight. Many times I really thought this was not a real company, just a random person with his car (by the way, the car plate was not even french) and trying to scam people in many ways. For the people out there, try to avoid them.

Terrible. Af booking they gave me a choice to pay in advance and save 5% or pay at pickup. Not being familiar with the company, I decided to pay upon pickup. Thankfully, as you will read later. I realized that I put in the incorrect arrival time, and emailed them to update them. It is difficult to email them, but I finally got confirmation that my correct arrival time was indicated. After landing, I went to the rental car area. There were about a dozen other companies, both international (Hertz, Avis) and local. Rent-a-Wreck was nowhere to be seen. So I tried calling the number on my reservation - nothing. Just rang and rang. I emailed them and waited about an hour, but nothing came back. I booked a different company. Rent-a-Wreck as far as I can tell are brokers for other rental car companies. I will never use them again. Ultimately, the rental I got was cheaper than theirs, so the value is not there either.

I felt like I got scammed. I got there and was quoted a price and then they added on so many additional charges, fees and taxes. I will never rent from them again and will warn others about the hidden charges. It was a stressful experience! I’m am very disappointed. And they kept speaking in I believe Spanish in front on me and my sister, which in itself was rude and suspicious.

Company is a scam. They charge for a million things such as their own insurance, day pass, and extra fees. It’s a horrible bait and switch
