Rent-A-Wreck

DO NOT DARE GIVE THIS PLACE BUSINESS. THIS ESTABLISHMENT REALLY LIVES UP TO ITS NAME. NOT ONLY IS THE FLEET PATHETIC, THE SERVICE IS WORSE. NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD EXPENSIVE RENTAL CARS. SO AT FIRST ONE CAN EXPECT TO RENT AN OLDER CAR THAT IS RELATIVELY NON EXPENSIVE. HOWEVER THEIR CARS BARELY DRIVE. THERE IS 98% YOU WILL BREAK DOWN, TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, YOU ARE LIABLE FOR ANY REPAIRS. UNFORTUNATELY IT GETS WORSE. THEY ARE EXTREMELY OVERPRICED. I WAS QUOTED 360$ FOR A WEEK FOR A DISASTER OF A CAR. THEIR STAFF IS AS RUDE AS IT GETS. WHATEVER QUOTE YOU RECIEVE OVER THE PHONE, DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY ANYTHING CLOSE! THE RENTAL HAS TO BE PAID IN CASH (WHAT A RACKET) THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY EVADING TAXES. THEN THEY DEMAND A DEPOSIT WHICH IS A STANDARD PART OF RENTING A CAR. HOWEVER KISS YOUR DEPOSIT GOODBYE BECAUSE YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO HIT THE LOTTERY THAN GET YOUR DEPOSIT BACK. GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR CREDIT CARD AND YOU ARE IN FOR A REAL TREAT. EXPECT CHARGES FROM PORNOGRAPHIC WEBSITES! I WISH I WAS MAKING THIS UP. BOTTOM LINE , MY TEAM AND I RENTED CARS FROM 6 DIFFERENT COMPANIES AS PART OF A RESEARCH PROJECT FOR THE BBB. RENT A WRECK MIAMI WAS BY FAR THE WORST EXPERIENCE A CONSUMER COULD GO THROUGH. NOT TO MENTION RENTING A CAR FROM ENTERPRISE DURING THE SAME WEEK, BOOKING THE RESERVATION AT THE SAME TIME (2 days prior) WE SAVED $420.56 ENTERPRISE : 2012 Chevy impala.

RENT A WRECK: 2001 Chevy cobalt that broke down 6 times in the first 72 hours. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, ACCORDING TO A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE THE OWNER OF RENT A WRECK IS A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER FOR RAPING HIS 3 YEAR OLD STEP SON…

DO NOT RENT - filthy, old vehicles, SCAM, FRAUD. DO NOT RENT FROM RENT a WRECK! I rented a car at Rent a Wreck at 2901 NW 7th Ave Miami, Fl 33127 .Via kayak for $30 a day. When I arrived at the location, I was shocked at the filth and condition of all of the vehicles. The owner proceeded to explain that I would be paying an extra $10 per day because I booked less than 48 hours in advance plus an additional $10 to have the sunpass sticker (which is offered free in in the state of Florida). When I said that i wanted to cancel he informed me that there is a no cancellation policy and no refunds. The car was at least 15 years old. The air-condition offed two choices, either off or on full blast. The radio did not work on the vehicle. The interior was a filthy disgusting mess, there was not even a sun visor! The exterior was dented with rusty paint. I was mortified to be seen in such a vehicle. On the third day of the rental the tire completely blew out while I was driving 60 miles per hour on a busy Miami highway. I pulled over to the side of the road and called the company. The owner proceeded to tell me that it was my responsibility to fix the tire. Irate, I told him that I did not think that was fair. He then said to me that I "put a key to the tire" insinuating that I damaged the tire on purpose). He then hung up on me, and did not answer my multiple calls after that. After the donut was put on,  I drove back to Rent a Wreck Miami to have them either change the tire, as I had paid for another day or give me my  $250 deposit back. At that point he told me that I damaged the rim by driving on the tire and that not only was he not changing the tire, he was not giving me back the vehicle AND he was keeping my $250 deposit for damages. So in total I have paid $370 to rent a junk car for 3 days. The owner was rude, unprofessional, verbally and physically threatening. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY.  …

DO NOT USE !!! RIP OFF!!!!!!. Awful!!! Never use this company. The guy that answers his phone and tell you to pick up the car at his house. I arrived today at 3pm and call the phone number listed and he told me that he is closed. That I have to pay 50 dollars more per after hour pick up, that I had to come to his house and his renal place is closed on Sunday. So 100 dollars more then what is listed on my email. Never once was I told this on the website or on email about the the extra charges. On top of that the guy tells me I have to pay the whole amount in cash. That I can not pay credit card. What the heck????? He was rude on the phone. I paid deposit but will fight it with my bank now. Do not waste your time. Pay more and go some where else if you don't you will be stranded like me!!!…

READ REVIEWS BEFOR YOU RENT. HE'S CROOKED. DO NOT GO TO HIS HOME. After the taxi left and I had no ride home, he told me he would not allow me to charge the rental as previously agreed because I looked like "someone" that would dispute a charge. (Keep in mind I was there with my father in law and we were celebrating a 50th anniversary) He told me he would drive me to a bank where I can get the cash, pay in full then and only then would he rent to me. I ran out of there and called a taxi. He never let me talk on the phone and I decided to hang up.

Was the worst experience ever.

Hertz had a car for us in an hour. Paid more but I was treated with mutual respect.…
