### Yelp Review for Priceless Nifty Car Rental I booked my car rental through Priceline as part of a travel bundle that included a flight and hotel. While the flight and hotel were satisfactory, my experience with Priceless Nifty Car Rental was far from acceptable. Upon arrival, the rental instructions advised us to call when we were on the shuttle bus. After doing so, we were told to wait until we reached the drop-off location, which felt unnecessarily confusing. IMO, it would have made more sense to call upon arrival at the pickup spot, but we complied. Following a lengthy 22-minute drive, we called again to confirm our arrival. We were then instructed to wait for a driver in a grey van with yellow lettering, which turned out to be quite a distance from the rental car location-an additional 5-8 minutes away. When the van finally arrived, it wasn't in the most appealing condition--dusty and unkempt. The driver informed us she had to stop for gas, despite us having called well in advance. Upon reaching the rental location, there was only one red Nissan that appeared to be in disrepair. The other 4 cars on the lot belonged to the staff. The process of retrieving the vehicle was frustrating. I was surprised by the $400 deposit requirement, and when I inquired about the email instructions, Nicole explained that they needed the first call to prepare the car and the second call would initiate pick up. She also mentioned that the reason for the lone single car was because they were overbooked and needed to retrieve a vehicle from another location. All RED FLAGS! The rental fee of $127 had already been prepaid, but the condition of the car was alarming. Here are some of the issues I discovered: 1. Gas tank was below half. 2. Engine light was illuminated. 3. Skid traction light was on. 4. Tire pressure light was activated. 5. Back seat had stains, possibly dried milk or vomit. 6. Blonde hair was found in the rear window seal. 7. Temp tag indicated it might have been recently acquired. 8. Scuffed hubcaps and a missing paint section on the driver's side front fender. 9. The steering wheel and gear shifter were filthy. 10. Wet paper mats were placed on the front seats, misleadingly suggesting the car had been cleaned. 11. A cigarette burn hole was present in the rear seat. 12. Overall, the vehicle showed numerous nicks and dings. After bringing these issues to Nicole and the owner's attention, I received acknowledgment HOWEVER it resulted in the form of gaslighting . The owner acknowledged my concerns about the back seat stains and stated they'd had the car steamed but those stains were stubborn (not accurate, a quick wipe down with a lysol wipe showed otherwise) but insisted they wouldn't hold me liable. However, I felt uncomfortable driving a car in such poor condition, particularly with the engine light on. After driving just a short distance I experienced severe vibrations leaving the lot and therefore IMMEDIATELY doing a Uturn, and returned the vehicle, citing safety concerns. The owner instructed Nicole to issue a refund for my deposit, but when I inquired about the prepaid rental fee, I was informed that they wouldn't receive payment for 30 days. I was advised to contact Priceline for a cancellation, which led to further frustration. Despite my efforts, Priceline was unable to secure a refund due to the misleading claims from the rental office. Ultimately, I returned to the office only to be offered another unserviced vehicle, which I declined. My wife and I opted for an Uber instead. If you're considering renting from Priceless Nifty Car Rental, I strongly advise against it. Their practices and the condition of their vehicles do not meet acceptable standards. Save your time and money by choosing a reputable car rental company instead. read more
