    Maintenance man saying that car battery needs to be replaced.

    They scammed me. They charged me for a roach infested car and a car that needed a car battery replacement according to their maintenance man and refused to refund us. Very nasty people and they keep hanging up the phone when they do not know what to say or when they do not want to give a refund. I was stuck on the side of the road when my car battery died on a desolate road in Puerto Rico waiting for the maintenance man to come help me just for him to tell me to go back to the rental company to replace the car. I only had a good working car for two days of my trip and they refuse to give me a refund And keep hanging up the phone. Do not book with them they will scam you.

    Dirty seats, AC stinking like cigarettes

    This was by far the worst rental car experience I've ever had. After nearly 24 hours of traveling with my family, including an infant, we arrived at the rental counter around 6PM expecting to pick up our reserved vehicle quickly. Instead, we waited almost three hours because the location was severely understaffed. When we finally received our vehicle, it was dirty, smelled like cigarette smoke, and had only 1/4 tank of gas. This is not the condition anyone expects when renting a vehicle, especially after a full day of travel with a baby. Because of the terrible pickup experience, I was also worried about having similar issues when returning the vehicle. To avoid risking a missed flight, I returned the car two days early, forfeiting the remaining rental days. Despite explaining the circumstances to my travel agency, I was still charged for the full rental period because I hadn't reported the issues immediately upon pickup. The staff may have been doing their best with limited resources, but the overall operation was unacceptable. Between the excessive wait, poor vehicle condition, and lack of flexibility afterward, this rental ended up being a very expensive and frustrating experience. I would not rent from Routes (Allied) again, nor would I recommend them to anyone traveling with family or anyone expecting basic customer service.

    This has been the worst car rental experience ever! We had a 12:30 reservation which we got here about 11:45. There was a long list of people waiting already! They took our name and put it on a list and told us the wait would be 1 hour and 20 minutes. We've now been sitting here for over 2 hours! The place keeps getting more crowded with people waiting for their car pick up. This is ridiculous and I'm beyond pissed to be spending all this time here during what should be a great summer trip! Will never ever come back here Staff at the front desk lacked customer service. He was too busy singing to bad bunny to worry about being polite. He was rude to my friend who couldn't hear him over the loud music and he seemed to be annoyed when she asked him to repeat himself. Update: we finally got our dirty car 3 hours later. They had no time to clean this car. They gave us a car with no gas, the glove compartment handles was broken.. scratched all over and the backseat was filly! there was no way we were going to wait to get another car after being there so long so we took the car and left.

    Cancellation paper.

    This company is absolute garbage. The employees are lazy and don't do their job correctly. I pre- booked a car for $150 for 3 days online on August 14th, 2026. When we got there we waited almost 2 hours in line and they were trying to charge me $500 for deposit and $479 for the car for "minor fees". I told the guy to cancel the reservation and to give me a refund, which he then proceeded to give me a "canceled reservation paper" for proof. They canceled my refund and took my money. This place is a scam! Don't waste your time!

    A bunch of ppl waiting and employees taking their time

    i reserved a vehicle 2 weeks ago and now they are saying it isn't available. also when i arrived you get in line and then once you get to the front they want to put you on a list and wait an additional 40 mins. staff is very rude and doesnt care about your time at all. pay extra and go to hertz or budget or enterprise. routes does not care about your time at all!

    Mayra I.

    I've never experienced such a major delayed just to wait to check in. The price was what got me but it's not worth the wait!! 2 hours just to check in and sign papers! A huge line outside the building!! Kids crying! Only one person at counter!! Then someone else came to help but notice how two of his friends came In to rent a car and they weren't on the line!! Now that's upsetting. The gent of the counter had taken care of them and they were out and about. We all noticed it!! No apologies no explanations. To everyone please this place is the Worse!! Beware they are lazy and they do not acknowledge or value their customers!! Go spend your $ elsewhere

    Loooong wait, a ton of people, no timelines.

    4 hour wait, 100+ people waiting. The worst car rental in the world! If you think your car is waiting for you to pick it up, think again You sigh your name on the notepad, and prepare to wait indefinitely. The clerk does not tell you how long the wait would be, Each and every person there was upset and complaining. Never again!!

    The confusion inside.

    I got 3 words: Don't do it! Don't fall for the cheaper price. There is a major disconnect between the counter and the people going to get the cars.. we reserved a car online days ahead of time... They did not have the car and furthermore there was a line of people that had been waiting at least 2 hours for their car rental. I understand PR adheres to a slower pace but this was ridiculous. No matter how much cheaper this is I would definitely recommend if you're flying in from the airport just get a car at the rental place at the airport, don't even fool with this. I'm not even exaggerating. Routes 2-4 HOURS TO GET A CAR brought to you. Hertz 3 minutes at the counter, walk to your car (15 minute tops) and your on with your life!

After my family returned to the US I changed cars to a Honda pilot and that changeover was also seamless. The Honda pilot was brand new spotlessly clean, and performed flawlessly. The Team at Black tie is great. I have a large family and this service made my trip even better. Puerto Rico is great and Black Tie Car Rental is awesome. I highly recommend them to everyone and I'm quite sure that the cost was comparable to the long, hot confusing rental car agencies around Luis Munoz International Airport. Rent your cars with Black Tie you will not regret it.

I had a slow-leaking tire and had to return the car earlier than planned. In the process, I accidentally left the RFID garage opener in the vehicle. By the time I realized and returned to look for it, the car was already gone. Without hesitation, Angel went to the mechanic where he suspected the car had been taken and even brought the car back so my husband, Jorge, could personally inspect it. He reassured us every step of the way that the RFID was not in the car and treated us with genuine concern and empathy. We left feeling heartbroken, believing the opener was lost. Halfway back to our hotel, Angel called us to say he had found it on the ground at the office. That moment said everything about who he is. I can honestly say I have never seen this level of commitment to customer excellence. Angel went far beyond his role, made the situation personal, and ensured we ultimately left relieved and grateful. He is a natural leader and a true asset to Avis.

My reservation showed an estimated total of $169.74, but when I arrived at the counter I was presented with charges totaling approximately $256 before any optional products. I will attach screenshots of both the online reservation and the charges presented at the counter so others can compare them for themselves. This turned into a huge waste of time. I took the airport shuttle to the Payless location expecting to pick up my reserved vehicle, only to find that I either had to pay significantly more than the quoted amount or walk away without a car. I ultimately chose to rent from another company because I no longer felt comfortable with the transaction. I was also told that if I declined the unlimited toll package, I would be charged $50 every time I used a toll road, plus the cost of the toll. However, the information on the company's website states that the administrative fee is $2.95 per toll transaction, plus the toll amount. During the insurance discussion, I was told that they needed to know whether anyone was driving my personal vehicle back home because they would be "transferring" my insurance coverage from my personal vehicle to the rental car. That explanation did not match my understanding of how my personal auto insurance works. Rather than argue, I simply confirmed that no one else was driving my vehicle and declined the optional coverage. I don't mind being offered optional products--that's part of renting a car. My concern is that the online estimated total did not reflect the amount presented at pickup, and I received explanations that conflicted with the company's own published policies. Based on my experience, I would recommend that anyone renting here carefully review every charge before signing.

    For William Diodonet (my husband)…read more (You really should take the time to read this, it might save you from huge headaches) I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience with Thrifty Puerto Rico, Best Rate Cars and Truck Rentals in San Juan, PR is the local operator associated with Hertz, which owns Thrifty, has been one of the most frustrating customer service experiences we have had. I waited this long to write this review in the hopes that this issue would've been resolved to my satisfaction, and because I did not want my frustration to come through this review. We rented a vehicle from June 16 through June 30, 2026 in San Juan. We documented the vehicle at drop-off which was at Merceditas Airport, Ponce PR and were told to just leave the keys in the Dropbox, so obviously, no one came out to inspect the vehicle with us, but we did document the drop-off. We were not billed until July 28, nearly a month after returning the vehicle, and when the charge was finally processed, our bill had increased by an additional $500 for alleged tire damage. When I contacted Thrifty, I was initially told a tire had been completely flat. However, the representatives I spoke with could not tell me which tire was allegedly damaged or provide documentation supporting the charge. I submitted a dispute and spent weeks contacting multiple people, repeatedly explaining the situation, and requesting basic information and evidence. Thrifty eventually refunded $320.48 but continues to hold us responsible for the remaining $179.52. The photographs and invoice provided to us do not, in our opinion, establish that the alleged damage occurred while the vehicle was in our possession, and we continue to dispute the charge. Photos did not show the tires on the vehicle but rather on the floor at the repair shop. They claim one tire presented a sidewall bulge and required replacement and a second tire contained a screw and required repair. Again, no prove/documentation has been provided to me even after repeated requests. From a flat tire at drop-off to a screw and a bulge. My date, location and time stamped video shows that when I left the vehicle there was no flat tire. Another concern is the effect experiences like this can have on the reputation of the Hertz family of brands. I understand that local locations may have their own management or business arrangements, but customers rent under the Thrifty name and reasonably associate their experience with the broader Hertz family of brands. From a customer's perspective, the internal business arrangement should not matter. Experiences like this can damage customer confidence and make people think twice before choosing Thrifty or any Hertz family brand. My advice: photograph and video the entire vehicle at both pickup and drop-off, keep all correspondence, and carefully monitor your credit card for charges appearing after your rental ends. Also beware, the price quoted to you at the time of reservation will almost double when you arrive for pickup, but that's another review. We will continue to pursue the remaining disputed charge through the appropriate channels.
