If negative stars could be "awarded" that would be a more correct score. This ordeal happened April 6, 2023 through May 2023. Subpar subcontractors, TONS of customer service glitches (especially with RentalCover.com insurance) I thought I'd gotten this great price from GotRentalCars.com, but BUYER BEWARE! My initial auto rental search used the consolidator AutoRentals.com, which has proven very reliable over MANY years, but they have screwed up by allowing GotRentalCars.com into their subcontractors. Apparently GotRentalCars.com sub-subcontracts to less than reliable smaller companies. My particular case happened in Miami, when GotRentalCars subcontracted to Fly N Drive, and huge problems ensued. Upon arrival at Fly N Drive's questionable (and shared cramped office,) provisions that were NOT online in the Terms and Conditions I'd read online popped up as I filled out paperwork for the rental car. The agent at Fly N Drive would NOT give me written copies of the "exclusions and limitations" I was supposed to be signing in agreement! I specifically asked for copies of the verbal statements he was making, and he said "I can't do that." HELLO! And the statements he was making were NOT in the Fly N Drive terms I read online (and saved screenshots...) Unbelievable. (My sister was there as we became more and more suspicious, and she'll gladly corroborate this account.) Despite purchasing coverage via the connection between GotRentalCars and RentalCover.com, Fly N Drive wanted me to buy THEIR insurance. If I didn't buy their own insurance, then I had to put a $4000 deposit on my credit card! The GotRentalCars T&C's don't quite explain this, either. I was NOT attempting to use my own car insurance for this, nor was I attempting to use the coverage provided by my credit card, as I normally do with international auto rental agencies. I refused to take the car after also finding out that I could NOT take it out of the state. LOL! The final blow. I got reassurances from Fly N Drive that the whole transaction was nullified. The next day, when I called GotRentalCars,com, I got the same VERBAL response, not to worry, full refunds would be in order. GotRentalCars issued a refund to my credit card for the rental. Despite paying for the insurance coverage via GotRentalCars, RentalCover.com refused to issue the insurance refund. Here's where the ridiculous argument started, GotRentalCars told me I'd have to contact RentalCover.com, and upon doing so, RentalCover.com responded (never any HUMAN via telephone!) that the whole refund had to be done via GotRentalCars.com! Ludicrous! Sending me in circles with no resolution, NOTHING. (And YES, when I hit a brick wall with RentalCover.com, because they ONLY have a website and no customer service telephone contact number, nor any email contact, nothing, I called GotRentalCars.com again, and they had NO SOLUTION.) I settled the whole thing by providing copious documentation to my credit card company (thank you, Capital One) and at this point, they're even investigating fraud and reporting the incidents to the Better Business Bureau. Cap One has issued full refunds for the auto rental as well as the insurance, but these are tenuous as they review the 30-40 documents I've submitted. If you're planning to use this company, make sure you DOCUMENT everything so your credit card company might be able to get your money back when things go wrong! Tip for consumers: My review says it all.
