Never use Value car rental

The counter staff when we picked up the car was very friendly, but a bit slow. When we got our car I said it smelled funny, they said it was a car spray. The smell turned to a smokey smell after the spray wore off. Thankfully we didn't drive long distances, but the small was bad. During pick up it was not mentioned that return shuttles only occur every half hour, whereas pick up was anytime upon request. This would have been good to know.`

Not only have I never had a worse car rental experience because of some man named Arius who was working at the counter when I picked up the car; I've never had a worse experience with a business anywhere. Period. This person should not be working there. Or anywhere for that matter. He needs to be fired immediately.

This was the worst car rental experience I have ever had. The car condition was the only thing that was ok, but I purposely rated it lower so that the overall score would be lower because my experience was so bad. They tried to charge me lots of extra money, said I needed to have my actual certificate of insurance on me or they would charge me $500. There were hidden fees, the counter staff member was rude, I had no idea I was even renting from Value Car Rental and not Easyrentcars so it took us forever to find the shuttle because there was no Easyrentcar shuttle.

The quoted price when booking was great. An upgrade was offered for $5.00 a day ($35.00), didn't expect the taxes and fees for the additional $35.00 to be $25.00. Next time I'll demand a written explanation and breakdown which wasn't offered.

Upon arrival we were offered an upgrade in which we were told $80 total usd. When we asked her if this was on top of the old amout she stated it was the total with everything. She asked if we would travel through tolls, we told her we may or may not travel once to Tampa to see the beach. She stated for $8.99 we could have a fast pass in case we incur any tolls. When we said Disney area was the only place we would be, other than possibly the one trip to Tampa, she told us it would be worth getting. We went through 1 toll and were charged over $71usd! Totally lied to and ripped off! I will never rent a car through here again and will highly NOT RECOMMEND this company!
