See all

Rented twice already in one year with Amir. I'm coming back soon and there's no other choice but CMW Car Rentals! Easy to talk to, fast transaction, and STELLAR SERVICE :) read more

As an experienced ride share driver who's gone thru bad rental experiences,this is a breath of fresh air. Amir has gone MORE than out of his way to make sure I got the best available rental while being completely personable. If you are new to San Diego SKIP companies like Hertz and go here. read more

The best car rental experience in 69 years!!! Could not have been better. Amir is super accommodating and will do whatever is necessary to make your car rental experience PERFECT! The car was not brand new - but I knew that going in. I just wanted solid local transportation and I got exactly that. In fact, the Hyundai Elantra drove SO much better than the last two Tesla Model X loaners that I got from the dealership. It was a blast to drive, and very clean. Amir volunteered to pick me up at the Tesla dealership to start the rental and he dropped me back off there at its conclusion, after my car repair was done. Communication with Amir was simple via text messaging. He always responded immediately. I will always rent from Amir and CMW Car rental when my Tesla needs work at the dealership, and every time I need an in-town rental for visiting family and friends. I recommend CMW Car Rental wholeheartedly with absolutely no hesitation. You will not be able to do better than this small mom & pop business. Oh yeh, there are no hidden fees tacked on, unlike with the car rental places we are all used to. All you pay is the stated price and 8% sales tax. read more

I got a car from CMW Car Rentals for about a month, back in 2023 and was very happy about it. I therefore recommended it to my brother who was very happy about it too. We came back to San Diego this year and both got our cars from them again. Amir has been always very helpful not only about the car but also with any other related info we needed. We'll certainly get back to him whenever we visit San Diego in future. read more

My short-term, month to month rental for 7 months was a very positive experience. I contracted with Amir a special rate for a minimum 6 month rental period. Throughout the negotiations and rental period, all communication was above board and credible. Customer service was as good as you could expect. Amir actually went above and beyond to drive to downtown and open the locked car in which I had left the keys inside. Sure the cars are not late model cars, they they are all reliable safe vehicles. After two months with one car, there began developing an electrical issue. Amir swapped cars immediately. Then, when a larger vehicle became available, he offered that to me. I would do business with Amir again, and I wholeheartedly recommend his business. read more

Amir is great. He's amazing. The cars are very clean and he is very helpful. I do recommend it for car rentals read more

Extremely impressed with CMW Car Rentals! The car was clean, comfortable, and reliable at a great rate. But the service by Amir is what truly made the experience renting from CMW wonderful. Amir worked hard behind the scenes to help me get what I wanted within my budget and was transparent throughout the whole process. It was evident that he is a genuine individual that is trying to do right for his customers. I would definitely recommend CMW to anyone in need of a rental in the San Diego area. read more

Great service and really nice people. Good quality vehicles and well maintained. VERY reasonable for long term car rentals. A true gem in San Diego!! read more

Highly recommend CMW. I am very happy client for them now . And anytime travel to SoCa i will be their customer again . Best Regards Paris Rostami read more

Excellent service! Great value! I highly recommend CMW car rentals. I was tired of the long lines, crappy service and high prices of the name brand rentals at SD Airport. I took a chance on a one month rental with Amir. He had an Uber pick me up and take me to his company. There was no line and I got to look at a couple of cars. The car was much older than a regular rental (Amir had informed me in advance) but it was clean and drove great - and I paid, like seriously, less than half the price. Covid struck - and my dd and I stayed for 16 months. Amir extended the rental at the same rate and provided excellent service with oil changes or anything else that was needed. I truly appreciated that he went above and beyond during a situation where many others were trying to take advantage of shortages. read more

Needed to rent a car , while mine was in the shop. Contacted Amir via facebook where i found his ad, fast response and read reviews . Was great experience all around 400 dollar deposit wich i recieved back in few days rates are great! 25 to 30 a day got a car maybe 2015 ran great and no issues whatsoever, hes the best around and will be my go too for all future rentals going foward. Thanks Amir! read more

BEWARE! The owner Amir only buys cheap salvage cars and high mileage cars beginning at 250k, pays a guy to fix the minimum on them and does the detailing himself. During the time I rented from him I was told that many of his customers had been in accidents. When I got in an accident due to driving one of his salvage cars with over 198k, I understood why. I didn't know while I rented it that it had been in an accident and was salvage. I only found out when I decided to buy it in order to reduce my monthly expense. read more

I have a 1972 buick I needed to get a lift done so I had to get a rental car because it takes a few days to get it done. However not only did amir give me a rental but he found someone to do my lift for a good price to good to pass on. Then the guys that did the job ended up taking 3 1/2 weeks because of (part problems and ordering parts) little frustrating I may add but no fault of Amir. Not only did Amir let me use a rental car the whole time but he gave me a discount just because it took them so long and he said he wouldn't let me pay more even when I tryed!! Iv never met someone so humble and have so much compassion for his customers. I will never ever forget how good this man is to me and he made a customer for life!! I have never ever seen a heart in business bigger then his and I wish this man to become the biggest rental service in san diego one day! Very great service and he went over and beyond what anyone would ever do for there customers!!! read more

I like to support local businesses and when i visit san diego i rent from this hidden gem of a spot. They dont have newest cars but they are reliable and the service is great. Best part is i dont have to call anytime i need something or have a question i can just text which makes it real convenient. Especially since they answer after hours too. They take pictures of all around car and send to me instead of those annoying checklist papers national brands make you use. If you want convenience and good service check these guys out. read more

"CMW Rentals is one of the best companies i have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. My local friend recommended them to me and said they were the cheapest and best in town. Perfect experience from beginning to end, and Amir in the front office is absolutely amazing, helpful, and insightful!!! Definitely will always be renting from these guys for as long as I live in San Diego. There compassion and love for customers is truly unrivaled . Highly Highly recommended CMW Rentals!! read more

Great guy, I'm a female and I went to rent a car, and I thought he would try and over charge me because it has happened to me a lot. Usually I never find out tell the end. I needed a car for a week he gave me one at a fair price and didn't over charge me. I brought it back a day earlier not thinking I was going to get anything back and he refunded me a day. Thank you Amir! Great customer service! Very respectful person! read more

Spoken to Amir, very very helpful. I was involved in an accident and was very stressed and worried over this as I have only recently moved to CA. He was happy to take care of me and help with the insurance company, repairs to my vehicle and provide a rental vehicle for me. 10/10 for customer service and being extra friendly and helpful. Thank you. read more

I rented a car from them. Car was very reliable. The owners were very friendly and nice. I got my full deposit back on time like how they promised. Very affordable and willing to work things out. I am happy with them and would rent a car from them again! Thanks read more

$32 flat daily rental. There is also a $22 option, but it wasn't available that day and I'm pretty sure it's a shitty car. No extra fees or taxes. However, they charge you if you go over their 100 mile limit. They didn't tell us. The car was a Hyundai Sonata and not too bad. The check engine light did turn on and were worried about liability if anything were to happen. Also, the gas tank was practically empty (the light was on), but you can bring it back the same way. = ) read more

This is an excellent, independently owned rental shop in the heart of Kearny Mesa. Amir and his family took care of me during my long term (1 month) rental. I'm a medical student on away rotations, and the car was reasonably priced and just as described. I got a basic deal with no frills to get me from point A to B, and they even supplied an aux cable. Upstanding business owners who truly care about their customers. I've already recommended CMW to my friends and classmates who will be visiting SD! read more

Cmw came thru for me when the big car rental places were trying to charge me out of my budget. Everyone at cmw was professional, truly kind, and upstanding. The car I rented was clean, performed flawlessly and was a joy to drive around San Diego. I will come to cmw rentals before any others from here out. This is how to run a real and legitimately kind business. read more

Fast and easy! I rented a car here yesterday, and I will be continue to come here! This place is the best ! The service was awesome, and the car was in good shape! The best place to rent a car In San Diego !! read more

I discovered CMW because I live in the neighborhood. I recently needed a rental car b/c my car was in an accident and I didn't have rental coverage. I was looking for the cheapest option and something convenient. This place was great. Simple, easy, no fuss. They charge a flat $22 per day fee (which includes all taxes, everything). You need to put down a $300 refundable deposit. They don't try to sell you insurance and require that you have your own. The cars were a little older, but clean and ran well. They let you pick from whatever is there. They even let me keep it an extra day by just calling in. No biggie! The only complaints I would have is that the car was pretty much on empty (but they let me bring it back that way), and I did smell a hit of smoke, but I'm pretty sensitive to that. All in all, for the price and how easy it was to rent, I would recommend this when you want to save a little dough and not deal with the harassing Enterprise guy trying to push you into insurance. read more

I idnt even wanna give one star i get there they only have shitty cars and the car smell like old smoking dude ! Fine its cheap so i get it n get car washed and teres a leak! The mechanic guy is trying to convince me that its okay to drive with cooler leaking but wtf! They dont even check the car or clean it before renting it out! I would never go back! Theres a nice kid working there but no adult! Wtf never ever go to this place. Worst experiance ever ! Just wasted an hour of my life read more

These guys are awesome! I got an excellent condition Prius from Amir and we agreed on payments (with no credit check!) while everyone else kept giving me the run around! Been inside this establishment and nothing but very nice people all around very professional kind and caring people. Go here if you want to get the best service with professionals who are here to help you! Great experience and very communicative. Very pleased doing business here. read more

Amazing deal! We came out to San Diego for two months, JAN-MAR 2012 and rented a car from CMW for the entire period. The car was in great shape, a Ford 500 that was a few years old but in perfect mechanical condition, a few parking lot dings was the extent of the aesthetic damage. Cherie at CMW is professional and very sweet. If you need an extended rental, get it from Cherie at CMW. You'll save hundreds of dollars. We'll use CMW again when we come out for two months next year. read more

Amir was very helpful and understanding to my situation. Family business with good prices and very kind employees.

My car was being repaired and it was going to take about a week and I called around for a rental car company and I found CMW. They are a local family business and had good rates and also offered me free pick up for their weekly and monthly customers. Since my car ended up taking several weeks to repair they were very flexible and courteous in assisting me and I really appreciated the customer service that they gave me. I would definitely recommend them to my family & friends and if I should ever need a rental car again I will go back for sure to them :) read more

Rented Hyundai from this company. One headlight was out. Center rear brake light was out. Key often did not turn to start car. Driver seat belt frequently would not lock. Most importantly the right front brake locked twice, causing the car to refuse to turn. This nearly caused an accident both times it happened. The breaks were terrible. I think I felt safer in my own car, which had a fuel leak. read more

What a great company. There is nothing like a mom and pop store. Amir and Cherry are amazing people. Honest fair and caring. Can't say enough. Thank you guys for everything! Dan read more
