2 starsUsed GotRentalCars.com several times without incident and recommended them often, but my December 2024 rental in ***** allowed me to see the awful side of this operation: to wit, customer service. When I arrived at the counter, ***** could not locate my GotRentalCars.com reservation and provided me with a rental for a reservation I made and cancelled directly with Hertz. ***** then billed both me and GotRentalCars.com. Certainly, a Hertz error, but when I informed **************** of the problem, they placed all the blame on me. A partial refund minus a $50 cancellation fee was given with reminders of how grateful I should be as I was not entitled to a refund. They could have used the same energy to inquire with ***** why my rental reservation was not honored although I appeared at the counter for the rental. Perhaps GotRentalCars.com could have pointed out to Hertz the section/subsection in the whatever contractual agreement they have with ***** as they are quick to do with their customers. Every reply and response from ********************** has been defensive and disgusting with them accepting blame for nothing. They're a great site for rentals as long as you don't have a problem.Review fromMichael M

DO NOT USE THESE SHYSTERS! After a simple search on Kayak.com for car rental, I clicked on offering from GotRentalCars for a rental from "Sixt" -- which prominently stated "Free cancellation: Cancel for free 48 hours before pick-up time." -- and I made the reservation, providing my credit card info.Immediately after, I got a notice from my credit card company that I had an 'international charge'-- which raised a concern as there was no mention on the offering of this being an international transaction.That concern prompted an internet search for more information and I found a *raft* of horrible reviews of this company's incompetence, dishonesty and customer-blaming. Consequently, thirty minutes after having made the reservation, I cancelled it -- 48 hours and 20 minutes *prior* to pickup time (i have screenshots/emails to document ) -- with no mention of a *any* charge.However, 4 hours later I get an email from bsp-auto.com (the *actual* company located in *****?) stating they were charging me a $50 "late cancellation" fee.They obviously waited to respond until the 48 hour window had closed.

Dear GRC Customer, your booking was made within 48 hours prior the pick up time. It was booked on Sept 14th at 10:04PM EST for a car rental with pick up on Sept 16th at 10:00PM in *******, **. So even if cancelling the booking right away you were still within last 48 hours prior pick up and thus the cancellation penalty of $50 applies. Sincerly, GotrentalcarsReview fromFiachra O

I was left stranded without a car in ******* and nobody to contact about it. The main issue was with Dollar Car rental but GotRentalCars had been prepaid and make it impossible to email them to get it resolved.GotRentalCars.com

This company is a bait and switch operation, plain and simple. Booked a rental car with them, and at no point during the process did they advise that they don't allow cancellation after the check-in time. Ultimately lost $400 due to some fine print somewhere. Whatever you feel you may be saving by going with them instead of with any of the major agencies, you will ultimately pay in terrible customer service, extreme lack of flexibility and absolutely no desire to do right by the customer. I can't imagine this company has any repeat business, as they're essentially set up to take your money, disappoint you, and then blame you for not reading some fine print somewhere on their poorly designed website. You've been warned.GotRentalCars.com

Do not rent through this company! I prepaid on line to rent a car in **. When I went to pick up the car, the rental company told me that since I'm a local resident, I needed pay extra $1000 deposit, didn't accept debt or credit card and needed to show an utility bill under my name in order to rent from them. None of this was mentioned online when I prepaid. When I asked for a refund from Gotrentalcars.com, they charged me $50 penalty. You've been warned!GotRentalCars.com

Dear GRC Customer, please note that the following information was mentioned on the website check out page and that in order to complete the reservation you had to read and accept all terms and conditions. "Mileage restrictions may apply to local renters as well as a higher deposit. Renter may be required to provide a round-trip flight ticket/itinerary that matches rental dates. Please contact the rental desk directly for more details."However in order to show proof of good faith we have also refunded you the extra $50 late cancellation fee.

Dear GRC Customer, the car rental reservation you made on our website was a "BASIC PACKAGE" which as mentioned on our website, terms and conditions and voucher we sent you, does not include any coverage in the rate. Only times and mileage and taxes and fees pertaining to time and mileage were included in this rate. Customer opted in for optional liability insurance during the rental pickup process. Customer signed the rental agreement accepting the extra charge of $19.99/day + corresponding taxes and fees for a total of $236.01. Since you have accepted the extra charge during the rental pick up process no refund can be granted. Sincerely, Gotrentalcars.com
