Chase  hooked me up big time today. I went in not really expecting much, but he treated me like family from the second I walked in. He's a car salesman, but he wasn't pushy at all -- he actually listened to what I needed and worked with me to find something that made sense for my budget. He stayed patient the whole time, explained everything clearly, and made sure I understood the whole process. By the end of it, he got me into a car I'm really happy with, and the whole experience was smooth. You can tell he actually cares about taking care of people, not just making a sale. If anyone's looking for a car, I'd definitely recommend hitting up Chase  -- dude really came through for me today and got me driving immediately read more

Got a 2014 Ford F-150, i love the truck but some things where a little off. Richard, the manager was a good salesman and ill give him that, i bought the truck with a cracked windshield and they replaced it free of charge! I was told that i would get a free oil change(truck had a change oil alert on dash when bought) by the lady in the office but once I called back they said they no longer do that.. BUT when you go for that 3 month inspection they do it for free! the one thing that upset me was the down payment.. i was told the down payment was 2400 BUT he actually meant 2400 Differed so it was actually 4500.. so my monthly payments are kinda insane BUT i do have a good paying job and in a position to afford it. summary- GOOD PLACE BUT READ THE CONTRACT AND TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING.. cant help feeling gotted but hey its a dog eat dog world... people saying their car got towed are people who did not pay on time... read more

worst car dealership in Texas. will literally take your money and give you a car just to tow your car back within a week with no explanation of why. Until you find out they added terms to your contract after you already signed the documents. Please make sure to take pictures of everything your singing with this scummy business. Richard is their manager and is absolutely the biggest jackass I have ever met. He is lucky I couldn't put hands on him. read more

They have horrible customer service, lie to you about how good their cars are. They will not fix the repairs or say its your fault even when its written on their paperwork. the car we had had faulty airbags, bald tires and they wouldn't fix them. You have to pay to retrieve your items and you have to do it in "their" time. They are major scammers and blame you for switching insurance and having 1 day lag. Please read the fine print, and most vehicles insurance will not cover because of how old they are except for basic liability. Very unprofessional people in their San Antonio office and accuse you of being unprofessional and confrontational when all you want is your belongs and are completely calm. read more

STOLEN VEHICLE- the Fredericksburg location: Reggie leased me a stolen vehicle. After I got out of jail with a felony charge, I spoke with the regional manager, Royal, who told me that since they didn't report it stolen, it had nothing to do with them. The VIN on my contract is for a vehicle that was reported stolen in January and I signed my lease in February. They told me I would not get my money back and that I should have no issues with them. The company put a REPORTED STOLEN VEHICLE on my contract and let me pay almost $4000 including my insurance over two months, for me to get pulled over for plates and to end up in jail on a felony charge because the vehicle was still reported stolen. And yall think you don't OWE me at least my money back? Reporting the company to the DMV while my attorney reviews. This will not be swept under the rug. Record all interactions with this company in order to keep yourself protected. Good luck, Rent2Own! read more

This is for the location on Fredericksburg in SA. I drove to San Antonio to turn in a key and retrieve some personal items for someone as a favor. I called yesterday to make arrangements with Rodney, the GM. He was "in meetings" everytime I would call and is, once again, in a meeting now that I am here. They are treating me as if I defaulted on the loan. They're not rude, just simply uncooperative. If this is how they treat non-customers, imagine how uncooperative and invisible they are to paying customers. Judging on the physical condition of their office, it's clear to see they are fluent in neglect. While I'm waiting I can hear the laughter and cursing of the staff in the back of the office. Quite frankly, management doesn't care about their reputation because of the nature of their business. If they weren't going to allow their former customer to retrieve her children's legal docs from the vehicle, they shouldn't have offered that to her. That's what they did, then made it impossible for it to happen. Rent 2 Own HQ, what do you plan on doing with these sensitive legal documents? Clearly you cannot be trusted. She has the right to retrieve her legal documents and those of her children. read more

See all

They give you cars they bought at salvage auctions (don't inform you) and then charge you literally $10,000+. I mean in this world you get what you pay for and for $500 down, no questions asked it seems like a good deal, but honestly just save your money and go to Toyota! My credit is a 540 and I was approved with 1500 down. The payments they are asking for, just ride the bus for a couple months and get a reliable car with no LIMITED miles! Don't put more than 1000 miles on it a month of there is a possibility you might get repoed! They charge .15 cents a mile over. They will repo the day after you miss a payment!!!

Great staff!! Do yourself a favor and ask for Sammy!! For reasons I won't go into, I found myself in need of another vehicle, and quick! I decided to stop by Rent2Own HQ at Valley Hi, but didn't really expect much, besides just looking around, as I was weighing all my options. Sammy met me as soon as I was ready to ask about a couple of their cars. She was friendly, funny, smart, and most importantly; HONEST! Sammy went over all options available to me, and when we settled on something I was really interested in, she had me driving away in an insanely nice vehicle. I would definitely recommend this place. Rent2Own specializes in helping people that find themselves in need. Also, just in case you look down at non-traditional car services, the lady next to me ended up driving off in a Mercedes-Benz GLB Class. read more

The biggest SCAM place in San Antonio if you rent from these places your asking for it. This is a warning I ignored. So many people have posted about this place and I didn't listen and needed a car fast. They will TAKE your money!!!!! If your one day late they will come pick your car up and charge you to get your belongings, I was told I needed to pay $2000 to get my car back & $50 for me to get my items out of the car, I paid the $50 but when I was ready to gather my things they wouldn't even let me!! They put all my stuff in trash bags on the side of the road!!!!! I was very disappointed... when I was getting the car from the place the car salesman told me to write a review and say it's a good place he said if I did that he would take money off my down payment, and of course they lied. read more

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PLACE!!!! At first it sounds all fine and dandy when they tell you that you are approved for a car. And they sure don't explain the fine print when they are going over the paperwork with you. They are quick to take your money but if you are 3 days late they come and take the vehicle. I was only on my fourth payment and I lost my job and because of that they came and picked it up. Then to get my belongings I had to pay $50 and then when I finally did they try to give me some one else's belongings. I put down a deposit of $1750 and there was an additional 1750 down payment deferred!! This place is straight trash!! Then this place straight lied on me!! read more

This company is garbage and I hope nobody else falls for this bullshit about then wanting to help you out. My card was supposed to be charged for my payment yesterday and this morning I see it and called them to see what was going on as they had me on hold for 10 minutes my sister comes rushing in my room telling me they towed my car. It has been almost 2 hours now and all I've heard back from them is that they are gonna drop it back off. This company is very unprofessional and most of the time you can't get a hold of anybody. I am now being charged a 300 dollar recovery fee because of a mistake they made. Please do not make the same mistake I did by signing that contract there are dealerships out there willing to work with you this company is trash read more

So let's be clear I signed a contract so that's on me,, when I had second thoughts I should have left. They defer your down payment along with your monthly so you could potentially pay over $400 biweekly. The 2017 Nissan Altima had over 100k, the passenger side bumper was held on by zip tie, the side panel and the hood 2 different colors and a bolt was holding on the side panel. Once I was taken outside and saw the damage Mr Rick said "I'll have to fix that"---when? I had previously owned a 2020 Blazer and was told I may need to humble myself to get into a vehicle. Humility has nothing to do with being safe. Once the car reached 70 it shook like an earthquake. The car was delivered and you could hear the brakes squeaky a mile away. The car had an expired inspection sticker on which means it hadn't passed in inspection since May of this year, the sticker was scraped off and temp tags placed on the unit. The young man who brought me the car did some recreational smoking in the car. I went to Byrider and got a reliable SUV and when the salesman saw the check engine light was on took it to the service department. The lady that reviewed my contract was nice. Before they say I let my insurance lapse I did and I was signing up for new insurance and they took the car. You may have to drive something older but it will be reliable, clean and not smell like weed. I'm sorry I wasted my time and money/ read more

Although I do understand that this is a business and they take chances on people. What they lack is compassion for their customers!!! They are all about the money. Yes I owed them 105.00 not even a full car payment but 80.00 and a late fee. I was moving my daughter to TN for school and they took my car leaving me stranded in TN. Y'all have to care about your customers and NOT just the money. read more

Please people do not I repeat do not go to this place I've had trouble with my vehicle since I got it and I had no help from them and now my vehicle has broken down after 7 months and the manager or employees are no help whatsoever please do not go to any of there places they will rip you off read more

place is just trashhhh! ‍ NO STARS. my husband bought a truck & BROKE DOWN the same day within just a few hours. the alternator was knocking which was causing the battery to fluctuate, the lifters were messed up & the oil pressure was messed up as well.. so it needs a new motor.. their "mechanic" said they wouldn't put a new motor, they would put a used one & started saying the damage isn't as bad as we're saying even after we had it seen by a different mechanic. & my husband knows mechanical work as well. almost broke down in the middle of no where.. told us to bring it in but wouldn't be able to work on the truck till sometime the following week. so we didn't want the vehicle if it needed all that work after we put down 1,500 yesterday. we were also told that we couldn't get the it refunded back to us. we would have to get into something else or lose out on the $1,500. So he ended up getting into another vehicle they had instead smh. Today they charged our bank $490 for the first vehicle that was messed up and we ended up only having a few hours.. which they shouldn't have. They said they still had that vehicle under my husbands acct. when there should've only been one. better off going to a different dealership!!!! made the mistake & didn't see the reviews but PLEASE READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE COMING HERE.. read more

I bought a vehicle with $1700.00 down, on my way home the check engine and tire pressure light came home. First thing the following morning I called the dealership to let them know. Nick the salesman told me they had probably forgot to reset the computer when they serviced it. We discussed setting up an appointment for Friday to drop the car off to replace the windshield and pick up my registration sticker. Later that afternoon on my way into town (5 miles) my car began overheating, so I pulled over called the dealership and was told they could put in a service request. So the next day on my way to work the car completely over heated and left me stranded on the side of the road for hours, after sitting to let the car cool I managed to make it home. I called the dealership again and told. them to come get the car. They sent a towe truck to get it the next day, I was not given a rental. Picking up the vehicle was 10x worse, the front had wires hanging where the headlight should ve, only 1 headlight worked, no cover on fuse box, tires missing lug nuts and random sized lug nuts, the tires were still showing low pressure, the a/c no longer worked, the front bumper and fender on both sides coming off, the windshield had not been replaced and registration sticker had not been changed. The manager Joseph Martinez and salesman Nick were of no help or concern, they refused to acknowledge the issues or address them, refused to refund my dowmpayment or allow me to look at another vehicle. read more

My car broke down after 2 days of purchase they kept saying they would fix it never did then tried to lie and say I was an irate customer I told him let's watch the video and audio together because that was a complete lie!! Now I'm out of a vehicle and 1500$ read more

I'm writing this review for a friend named Veronica. She purchased a vehicle with money down and after only 2 days, the vehicle broke down. The company said they were going to fix it, but after they had had the vehicle for a month (with many promises to have it back sooner), they finally stated that they couldn't return the vehicle because they actually never recovered the title from the prior owner. All the while they continued to demand the regular payments which turned out to be over $2000 at that point. So she was then promised from the owner of the company that she could pick another vehicle from any of their lots with nothing extra out of pocket, but when she did end up picking a vehicle, she was strong armed by the sales team to pay an additional down payment. Reluctantly, she paid the amount. After all, she is a single mom of two in the middle of summer and needed transportation. If this whole situation wasn't enough, they "recovered" (towed) the vehicle 1 day after her insurance lapsed. She had to pay a recovery fee of $300 to get it back. Even though she was up to date on her contracted payments. And just a few days ago, they towed again citing no insurance, but Veronica was able to secure proper insurance as requested. They then changed their mind to a contract payment of 1 day late as their justification on towing the vehicle. So they requested then, another recovery fee along with the past due amount and the current due amount which all came up to $900. Veronica was trying to set up a payment arrangement with them, but they terminated the contract after 3 days (one of which they were closed). By the time she got a hold of someone one the third day, they stated that the contract was terminated and the car was already back on the lot for sale. They said if she wanted to recover the vehicle, she would have to pay the $900 before anyone bought the vehicle to reinstate the contract. All in all, I've been with her through every step and having purchased vehicles before, I will say that this is the most unprofessional business I have ever come across. Unfortunately Veronica has been sorely taken advantage of with the promise that they are accommodating to those that don't have the credit score to go to a reputable car lot. And from prior reviews, I would say hundreds of people agree even if they do t take the time to write a review. ZERO stars!!!! read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. At first these people come off as a knight in shining armor, ready to help you get in a vehicle you so desperately need. *When sometime seems too good to be true, run away!* I can get passed the minor blemishes of the vehicle, but it's the customer service that sucks butt. After you sign and drive off you are no longer a priority so they feel they can be rude to you all they want. You are required to have full coverage (obvs.) but they have a big list of companies they don't accept. Also after about 3 weeks of having this car, our insurance kicked us off because the car has a salvage title... What!? When we were there looking at the car, my husband asked TWICE, "is the title clean", Ricardo told us YES. So I called and let the WONDERFUL customer service rep know this.. I forgot her name but she is usually the one who answers when making payments, and she was a real piece of work. Long story short... They don't care to help you once you drive off. You maybe run a day or so late on your payment and they are ready to go repo the vehicle. Also if it does happened to get reposed... DO NOT let them fool you into paying $300 or $350 to get your personal belongings back. They will not show you any policies in writing, and they will be complete a-holes with you. You only need to pay $50 to get any personal belongings out.. And make sure all your stuff is there before you take off... If not file a police report. They WILL suck as much money from you as possible. STAY AWAY.. read more

Wish I could leave a less than 1 star review... this place is a total scam.. they sale tou a vehicle repossess for anything they can .. I was up to date on my payments had full coverage insurance and repossessed it because they said my insurance was expired.. presented it to Joseph on 35 south and they terminated our contract... took my money for the tow and kept my truck... scammers buyer beware..... read more

Fly by night scammers. False advertising. Predatory lending. High pressure sales tactics. Overpriced with unreasonable fees and limitations. They advertise no credit check, no driver license check, no wage check. They won't allow you even an hour to discuss it with your spouse. They checked all these things in person. They turned us away despite $5,000+ per month wages to pay on the vehicle plus $2500 down payment because we wanted an hour to discuss the terms and check Kelley blue book value.. The vehicles I inspected in person have serious mechanical issues incl. blown head gaskets, engine misfires, bad valves, bad timing chains and blatant transmission problems. Buyer beware. read more

A rip off as well as rude, very unprofessional people that only hire young people because they know no better. Will try and say the only reason why previous customers wrote bad review is because they didn't pay which completely untrue. Most adults will understand it is like a lease of some sort, however they do not treat it as such when it comes to them trying to get more money out of you. They tell in one sentence that car belongs to them but then turn around and say you owe them the remaining balance even with the car not being registered on your name. They try to defraud your insurance if you have an accident and demand your deductible before they even give your insurance an estimate. It WOULD be a good thing for people with not so good credit however it's always some that's trying to get over in people. And to have the recovery people pull up and come all the way into your property and almost aggressively approach you. They need to be careful with that. I would NOt EVER recommend this establishment for a car. read more

Horrible business. Sold my mother a salvaged car for more than two times the blue book value. Also, she tried changing her pay day to every other Friday but they for some reason couldn't accommodate and towed her car for being TWO DAYS LATE. The vehicle had old tires and no radio even though they promised to fix it within two weeks after the contract date. I would never waste my time or money with these pigs. read more

i know a close relative that has been dealing with this shitty, unprofessional, money hungry business. i would not for the life of me recommend this business. if you want issues all throughout your car lease then this is the place for you. who tf even speaks to their customers the way they do in these reviews????? shows how disgusting they are and the constant need to share confidential information about their clients lol. disgrace i hope someone lawyers up and sues them asap. read read read your contracts!!!!!! read more

BUYER BEWARE! They're selling salvaged tilted vehicles and going bankrupt! Taking advantage of folks and not running reputable dealership and not a member of the BBB! The vending machine is empty & they're charging almost 10 times the amount of the blue book value to lease! It's been 7 months and my contract stated they were going to replace my radio within 2 weeks of signing. They lied and said my tires were brand new, to find a flat bald tire with no tire iron or jack to change the spare, & the spare was flat, also. Since then, the vehicle was towed 2 days after my payment was due (every 2 weeks). I had contacted them 3 times 2 weeks prior to let them know I was no longer able to make payments on the due date (due to my 7 year old patient passing away) and if I can change my due date, I was told; no, it would cost $500 to change the dates,  just pay the late fees, then that I could make partial payments, by 3 different people. So when I called about why my car was towed, first statement was that I haven't kept my car insurance, lie #1, then falsely accused me of not contacting them, because that I wasn't able to pay on the dates "No record of you saying that in my file", until I stated on the 29th you were contacted and she read out loud the whole conversation, of my situation that I just stated, SMH. The only way to get me off the phone was to lie and give a fake phone number to their corporate office whom she claimed "flagged my account, for non payment". After being on hold for about 17 minutes, with no music, ( 1-800-484-9211), I googled the number and it's some warehouse in China! The person who claimed to be the "manager" was so unprofessional and said, "Just give me the key and I'm not going back and forth arguing about the radio never working!" I was charged $50 to collect my personal belongings, however because I didn't have change they kept $60 and said it's going to my "balance owed"...why would I have a balance, if you got the car 2 days after my payment was due? He explained he was doing me a favor because they charge "$300 recovery fee", even though I'm not recovering the car! Everything about this company is run illegally! There's a bogus website that has never been updated and I wasn't able to make payments, only going there or calling on the phone which always took 15 minutes or more. They "claim" there's a $6.50 charge to use your credit card that isn't posted anywhere, but I wasn't charged that fee when I gave my down payment, paying with my card! The location where I got the vehicle is still on the website and on Facebook, however it's been closed & was directed to go the Fredricksburd Rd, where I was met with animosity, ignorance and zero charisma! Not once was there ever an offer to work with me or suggestion to trade the 2008 Ford Escape for a smaller vehicle to lower my payments. He stated in a comment from my daughter's review of the company that he did and wasn't going to because of her review. That I purchased the car for my daughter and another lie was stated by this "manager" was that all my payments were always late and I was rude whenever I spoke to anyone there, that's trying to defame my character and anyone who knows me, knows I don't talk to anyone like that. I will match your energy, so if you're being rude and belittling, so will I. You can't ignore the fact that every time I made a payment, I questioned when was my radio going to get fixed and say I'm being talking rude, when you don't want to address the fact that the company voided the lease back in February, when the 14 days were up and the radio is still stuck on am station and I can't turn it off or the volume down and you had me sign that it would be fixed! Just kept omitting the truths to fit this company's narrative is some janky business practices! read more

The only reason this place gets one star is because it wouldn't let me leave it blank!! Worst place to get a vehicle! Full of false promises missing managers and not to mention the junk they sold me!!! I have had my car 35 days....I have taken it in for "Service" 5 times.. Just found out it was on a recall list that NO ONE told me about. I get the run around every time I call. I was told then I purchased the car that certain issues would be fixed. Here we are 35 days later and still nothing!!! I am now being told that any issues with the car is coming out of my pocket "We have bent over backwards for you, more than any other customer. We are at the point were we are saying that any other maintenance to the car is at the customers expense." Yeah okay if they would have really FIXED the issue when they said they were instead of band aiding it I wouldn't be writing a negative review. Please no matter how desperate you are for a car DON'T COME HERE or there location on 410!!!! read more

My experience with Rent2ownHQ of San Antonio from January 7th, Saturday: Warning- LONG POST- it's thorough, because it needs to be. As promised, I felt it necessary to provide a detailed account of my experiences with this establishment, its employees, their inventory, and their program offered. I am not speaking with malice, nor am I stating an opinion about whether or not to use their services. My aim is to promote transparency in my account of how my experience played out, yesterday, when inquiring about purchasing a car with them. All statements within this post are of my own opinion and personal experience, and they do not in any way reflect the opinions of anyone other than myself. So yesterday morning, around 4am, I received a reply from David, to a question I had asked earlier about seeing all of their current inventory to chose from. David was lightening fast in his response time, encouraging, polite, patient, and authentically concerned with getting me in a car as painlessly as possible... as soon as possible. He listened to my needs, met me with clear answers, and I was immediately certain that I wanted to work with him in my search to purchase a vehicle. Not yet knowing that he worked for the same company as Michael, who much later responded to me and was insistent that I call his phone, I spoke with him briefly on the phone. He immediately spilled into the overall structure of how the business model works: No credit check, no employment status check, no DL necessary (ID will suffice), rent to own transaction in which I would make "loan" payments with a 0% interest rate. The amount of the loan payment would directly correlate with how much money I was willing or able to put down. Any fees accrued would occur only if I was not able to make several payments on time, and that would be extreme, considering they have such a lenient financing department. When I attempted to jump into the discussion, asking pertinent questions, he often seemed annoyed that I had interrupted his long monologue. And he was completely unaware of what inventory was available, having to "step outside" to see what was available because their inventory was so ever-changing due to high volume sales. He seemed rushed, burned out, and/or annoyed by my thorough approach. It felt like his main objective was to get me to the lot, and I obliged. After having later come to the realization that David, too, worked at the same business, I requested to be partnered with him while I looked at the cars. I arrived, and he was decked out to the nines. bright, professional, extremely courteous, and enthusiastic about our new little journey together. Through small talk, I realized that he was only on his second day of working there, having just traveled across the country for the opportunity to work in this position. I would have never have know he was a neophyte, had I made the connection from looking up his profile, and confirming this with him. We went inside, sat at a desk, and he went back over the details of the potential transaction, feeling certain that he had the perfect car for me. From what few pictures I had seen, I began to bubble with excitement. The first car I was shown was a Mazda 3. It was adorable. Just what I wanted. I get in with the keys and crank up the car. I immediately notice that the radio does not work at all. David, like others, explained to me that once the sale is finalized, any minor issues with the car would be fixed by a technician. Feeling at ease with this answer, I popped the hood and had my daughter turn the A/C on at my command, while I stood next to the compressor. It never once clicked on. Eventually hot air was pouring from the vents while I had it running on its coldest setting. Next, I took the plastic shield over the motor head off, to get a good look at the gaskets (check for oil leakage). Immediately I saw a thick powdery substance that I commented on, saying it looked like "saw dust". To be generous, I conceded that it could be the cottony padding on the bottom of the plastic shield.

Even still, I considered this to be a design flaw and closed the cap tightly.
