Firstly, I try very hard to accommodate a business before I judge. Very patient and understanding. However, after a few years on this earth, you can tell when someone just isn't trying...
I reserved my car well in advance around the 17th June for a rental we needed for the day, because our primary car was in the shop.
On the day-of, we showed up and the young man (nephew of owner) was pleasant, if a bit disorganized. We picked up the vehicle and completed our inspection. He did not walk out with us to help. I would have enjoyed accessing the interior. If so, we would have been spared the wreckage of the previous tenant on their family drive from Florida. It was clear nothing was cleaned. Dog hair, sand, a leftover water bottle, and glove compartment games. I could only note the scratches on the car with the small slip receipt given me.
Once I provided this to him and obtained the key, we went outside to enter. That's when we found the wreckage. I immediately ran inside through the rain to tell him. At this point, the door was already locked for closing at 6. Oh and he had mentioned if we hadn't shown up before our arranged time, his computer would have shut down and he couldn't help us. Haha. Sure, buddy. At that time, I didn't have a choice and had to drop off our car so I took it with full intention to get a discount when we tallied up the negative marks.
Drive was nice and car was tuned. Mileage did not agree with paperwork.
FF to next afternoon. Had to split work shift to return on-time. Swapped car seats and after paying $220 to repair shop, prepared to pay this lazy rental shop. Drive over with spouse and child, let them continue to appointments. Oh yeah, I also filled up gas tank to full. I sat for 30 min waiting for female clerk to help a gentleman. Ultimately his ID failed a validity check -and she couldn't rent him a car? Wow. So I step up after multiple people are now waiting. I state succinctly I am dropping off my car but it was very messy from the start and I want a discount. I only expected perhaps the insurance and incidentals added. Instead of giving them to me, she calls up the owner and I can hear him complaining about my not having inspected the inside prior to release. How about your clerk simply vacuum and wipe down?? She writes my number and says manager will call. His name is Abdelaziz Daray. He still hasn't called five days later.
NEVER do business with this business or this man. I plan to visit soon to have a serious chat and get most of my $160 back. At least my discount card offers $10 off the rental from
The start.
If I could give no stars I would. read more
