The car was good. When we got there we had to spend an additional $540 to rent the car due to the fine print that even the lady behind the counter said is hard to find and hard to read.

First experience I have to wait over 2 hours to get pick up from airport, then finally after 2.5 hours finally check in process totally disappointed. The have only 3 insurance companies that works with them and must meet their requirements. So far ok and understandable. The other option is $70 per day insurance + toll $35 a day that’s in top that I already pay for daily fee So ridicules. I end it up leaving and book in different companies.

They tried to tell me that insurance above and beyond my insurance and the insurance I bought extra was not adequate. Told me that State of Florida required it. I told them I just rented a week ago in Ft Myers and it wasn’t required. Then she lied and said it was an Orlando law. Looked on AI and that was false as well.
I was originally quoted a price of about $62 for an 8 day rental. I was not asked for my insurance company name when booking, only when picking up the vehicle. I was told my company was not a preferred carrier and I was going to have to pay more than $450 for the same vehicle. The lack of transparent disclosure or warning of such a material difference in price was unacceptable. I ultimately declined to rent the car and called an Uber to pick up my family and luggage from their office to take me to my hotel. Knowing the importance of the carrier in advance, I would have made a more informed decision about which company to choose for my rental vehicle.

Took too long for pickup. Tried to upsell for everything! Barely spoke English! Wanted proof of insurance and wanted to charge $45 a day for their insurance even though I was already insured. Finally left without a car and went to Alamo and had great service! In the hours I was at surprise car rental not one customer was happy with the service or the car they rented! I will never use this company again and strongly recommend others do not! I will be getting a refund!
I paid up front. When I get there I'maskbto pay all these fees. From $280. Paid when I rented online to $850 when in office to pickup vehicle. Ad said no hidden fees....yeah right. NEVER AGAIN!!! Shame on you.

The experience was horrible! First, they are not located at the airport. Although there is a shuttle, I only found that out after arriving at their office.Second, they advertise a very cheap price for what they call a “Luxury SUV,” but they provided an older Toyota RAV4 instead.Finally, while the price appears cheap at first, they charge additional fees for insurance (approximately $60 per day), $74 for SUNPASS activation only + tolls, and other extra charges. A $30-per-day car easily ends up costing around $150 per day. I strongly recommend avoiding their service.

They have a low daily rate for the rental because they screw you when it comes to insurance. Even if you bring proof that you have it, they still charge you A LOT.

The staff and car were fine. What I did not like was the fact that I was not aware of the $300 I had to pay. That was not disclosed when I booked online. Online it was one price but when I picked up the car they added another $300 plus held another $250. I really was not happy about that…..all fees should be disclosed when reserving the car.

They never came to pick us up at the airport and we had to rent a car from another rental agency. We were texting and speaking to them immediately after we landed and they kept telling us someone would be there to shuttle us to the car rental agency but no one ever showed up until they finally closed for the night and then no one would answer the phone when we called. They wasted an hour an a half of my time promising us that a shuttle was on the way but no one ever came and we had to take an Uber to our hotel. So terrible experience with Kayak and OtoQ
The good: they had a car as promised. The not good: they lured me in with a “too good to be true” price a week prior to arrival; then informed me I needed to carry an absurd amount of insurance on my policy, otherwise I need to purchase their insurance at $35 per day. No effort was made to make me aware of this policy prior to arriving. By then you’ve taken the shuttle way outside the airport; and your basically stuck with a huge bill you weren’t planning on. Better to be upfront with customers re: the real cost of the rental before committing to it. But again, they did have a car available.

Staff was very friendly !! Car was clean and very reliable. Although I was not expecting an extra $230 in fees that I had to pay when I got there. I paid $52 for the 3 days I was going to be there when I made the reservation, but when I got there I had to pay an extra $230. They advertised it to be $7/day + tax which was a great deal so I jumped on it. Because of that I won’t rent from them again. I’ll stick with the rentals at the airport.

Disappointed enough to not request more of your services because I closed the business and when I arrived at the agency they demanded a new insurance and asked me for an extra $650. Everything must be dealt with before, both the price, requirements and documentation and when the client pays, the business is closed, and it is criminal that we cleinyes are surprised when we arrive for what we buy or lease. President Baiden said that these bad practices must end so that there is confidence and business is generated in the country. You are ruining the system. Now I want my money back in full since I had to rent a car elsewhere.
