FT LAUDERDALE AIRPORT CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

We showed up expecting an easy experience and then they try to say that the state of Florida has new strict driver liability laws, and you NEED to buy their daily insurance to comply. This is not true, and is just their own policy to force you to buy their insurance (which makes them more expensive than other rental agencies)

They tried to force me to pay for insurance and didn’t even up renting me the car. They left me no options but to cancel. And then they wouldnt even drop me off at another rental car place, forced me back to the airport, waisted about 1.5 hours of my time.

had a reservation 2 weeks in advance and show up to no vehicles avail and a mess of very unhappy folks in the lobby

The counter staff service were very rude . They insisted that I have to show the coverage limit of my insurance . Even I called my insurance to show my coverage to $300.000 for injury and $100.000 for property damage still was not accepted from the staff service . I was forced to pay $10 extra for additional insurance . Also I Ordered Hyundai Sonata and I got a Nissan Versa with 36.000 mileage with body damage and a lot of problem in driving .

We waited at the airport for over an hour for the free shuttle, it never showed. Another car rental company was nice enough to give us a ride to the office. Once there, we discovered that there were very few rentals available and the customer service staff was not helpful. They demanded that we carry $300k in liability insurance and provide documentation of such. We did not have it so we were told we had to purchase their insurance, which raised the cost significantly. We decided not to rent with them because of their unethical business practices.

Avoid this business! The car was in terrible condition (damaged, things loose and rattling) and very dirty - I couldn't believe they rented it to us. They tried to charge a $250 deposit to my credit card that would be refunded up to 10 DAYS after I returned the vehicle. I told them no - that was not disclosed to me when I made the reservation. So they said they would wave the deposit for a $53 non-refundable charge. They get you either way. They also make it look like you are covered insurance-wise, but beware - if you are a US citizen, you MUST give them your car insurance policy number - I had to call my company to get that and that took awhile. They try to nickel-and-dime customers, and even try to short folks on how much gas in the tank when you pick it up. AND - this is NOT at the airport. The booking site makes it look like it is. You have to wait for a shuttle to take you to their tiny (and not-very professional-looking) office.

Absolutely the worst car rental experience we’ve ever had!! The charges that we had agreed to through Easy Rent Cars were only the beginning. We were surprised to learn that we HAD to buy RIGHT CAR liability insurance even though I produced the documentation from my Canadian insurance company stating that I was covered (add approx $25.00 to our final bill) They then proceeded to inform me that we had no choice but to purchase the SUNPASS and that would be another $10 per day of rental. The car was less than clean when we got it and the smell of cigarette smoke was overwhelming!! The gas tank was at 3/4 full, when we got it also! When traveling on the highway the car felt like the front wheels were going to fall off and we were afraid to go over 55 mph. The car rental that was suppose to be $52.34 Canadian ended up costing us over $100.00 $US when Right cars were finished with the bill! Anyone considering renting from this firm ... save yourself some money and frustration ... rent from a reputable agency. It was an extremely frustrating start to a vacation!! Never again!!!

Never got car, be cause guy at counter lied and said my card got declined. I called my credit card company right in front of him and they said no request was even sent let alone denied. Told him to run it again and he wouldn't. They were mad that I refused all their additional options (charges). They were also rude to me and everyone else that came into their closet of a shop.

Total scam artist at Right Cars. Would never book with them nor will i recommend them to anyone.

Please train your staff on customer service 101. I was told since I got a good price, I shouldn’t expect good customer service. This was told to me by a staff member.

The staff lied repeatedly about the need for the Sunpass toll. We specifically asked if 95 was strictly a toll hwy and ALL 4 members of staff said yes. We asked a 3rd and 4th time if there was any route to get to Miami without using a toll road and were lied to. Even went so far as to tell us if we went on 95 without the Sunpass, we would be issued a $25 fine for each offense. Of course, once we got on 95, we saw that only 1-2 lanes required a Sunpass. They totally robbed us of an additional $30. Also, neither my husband or myself received a copy of the rental agreement and when we asked for a copy of the digital agreement we signed, we were told it would be sent to our email. No email was sent! Then, after waiting the 3-5 business days, I tried to call about the $250 deposit placed on my credit card. For three days no one answered the phone and I had to call my credit card company to get my deposit back! Nice clean car for a decent price, but the customer service are thieves!

Worst experience ever, never booking with this company again, and telling everyone i know never to book them either.

The platform was okay no issues

Our biggest frustration was the return address. When entered into GPS as 2929 S Federal Hy, Fort Lauderdale, it sent us 20 miles south. We finally found it on SE 6th Ave. A map or more instruction would have prevented this frustration!

After completing the paperwork and being told that the coverage on my BMW M6 wasn't enough to cover the Nissan compact I was renting, the agent tried to tell me I HAD to get their insurance. I had called my insurance company (USAA) before my trip and they assured me my coverage was sufficient. When I told the agent (W. Curri) I would check with my credit card company to make sure everything was legit, he said he would not rent me the car and pulled back all of the paperwork. Leaving me stranded and scrambling for another car. I will NEVER do business with this company again and if asked, I will tell any/everybody about my horrible experience with them.

Terrible service, very disrespectful. not pleasant one bit, customer walked out and cancelled booking because of bad reviews on Right Cars. I agree, will not rent there anymore, rather pay higher price, with people who are respectful.

Awful local office. Rude staff. Inefficient. Understaffed. FYI unreasonable requirements like SHOWING insurance certificate (other companies do not require this) and $13.99/day for tolls (when other companies charge $9) But biggest issue was rude staff. Girl who called herself “manager” had poor communication, and when I was aghast, she refused to rent me the car. Fine, but she also refused to give me refund. And she supplied me with 2 phone numbers, neither of which worked. I called both eight in front of her. When I pointed this out, she didn’t care and said to leave. She kept my money and gave me no car and no one to contact. It was so bad I actually took video of the process bc no one would believe it was so bad .

Absolutely the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Unprofessional and understaffed. No consideration or concern for important things, like... Catching a departing flight. Avoid like the plague.

There was thousands of ants in the car. Crawling all over us and the dash, the whole time. I couldn’t find where they were until I went to put something in the back seat, and the floor was moving. I grabbed the floor mat and shook it off and killed them with my foot. There was bread crumb under mat. When I told the guy at the counter. He didn’t seem like he cared much..

Rip Off - I have never had to buy additional insurance in my over 20 years of renting cars in Florida. It is not clear that the Liability coverage has to be 300K per person as I had 300K per occurrence. I will not rent from you again.

Cars were ok it was the counter person that told us a lie. Our resorts was Wyndham just off either 95 or the toll road. Fact is, we never passed a toll booth on the Toll road or 95. He told us we would pass 4 tolls to our resort and it would cost $25 per toll, thus, $200 when we returned the car on I 95. Another lie. Even the girl working that day said the same thing. We will NEVER recommend Right Cars.
