Put down a deposit for a car but when we arrived at the *************** there was no signs or place to pick up the car or speak to a company representative. We were told by airport employees to wait for a shuttle to pick us up but no shuttles ever came. We tried calling the company but we got no response. They took our security deposit and never gave it back. We were not able to get in contact with anyone at the company. This company is a bunch of scammers. Check out their ****** maps profile, its all AI generated pictures and they are scam artists who steal peoples money.Business response

I am rejecting this response because they should refund our deposit as we did not receive any car and they made no effort to contact us the day of the reservation. Even though the reservation was made through a third party website they should make it right as it is their fault that we did not receive any car service.
Sincerely,

In january this year, Ive rented a car through Rentcars on the agency AZ CAR RENTAL, in *******. The discription said I was going to show for pick up the shuttle to the agency at 10am and I arrived at 2pm. The shuttle didnt pick me up and didnt even notice nothing. Alright. then a tried to talk with the AZ CAR RENTAL to pick the car up right in the agency, I would grab a taxi and meet them at the place. They didnt allow me to go to the agency and said that it was already complete the rent for no show, and I had to talk with ******** and solve only with them. ******** tried to solve with them and they were just like "not my problem". The renting was for 21 days, a lot of money and they didnt allowed me to be at the agency to pick up the car? thats a really bad customer services and trying to get the foreigners money. I was polite with them all the conversation and the were just like we have your money the problem is yours. REALLY BAD COMPANY. Then I had to rent by another company, witch was totally diferent treatment. Dont rent by AZ CAR RENTAL. They dont care about your good experience, only about money. And after that I asked if they had the car for renting in the agency and they only said one porsche (like?). Very Bad businessBusiness response

Rental Cars.com Booking number *********** We rented a car via rentalcars.com and had a rental car from ** rental in ***** **. They took a ****** deposit, which was promised to go back on our card in 1 week. After multiple phone calls to rentalcars.com, i was promised by a **** that I would receive it back on our credit card by 11/20/23. Today is 11/20, and we did not get the money back. Our experience with this company was awful, we were provided with the wrong size car seats for our children (we paid 14 per day for them) and the straps did not tighten, one seat was broken, and they were not installed correctly. This issue is in addition to them not releasing our 500 security deposit, and also at pick up at the airport, they made us go to an alternate location other than the remote airport shuttle pick up. We want our ****** security deposit back. After being told 1 week, or by 11/20 at the latest, now when we call they say 28 days.Initial Complaint

I rented a car from them on June 29 because I was having surgery on the 30th. When I got to the airport the car that I wanted to rent was not there. I called them and they couldn't find the car so they just gave May a car that was sitting there. I didn't want the car but I was running late. The car had a knocking sound and wasn't clean and the keys was broken. When I return the car they charged me 402.00 for cleaning the car and the broken key saying they gave me a new key. They're suck scammers. They charge me for 116.00 in tolls when I didn't even use the high way. I took the back road to avoid fee. I rented from them couple times and if you look i never go through tolls. I'm just upset because I've seen reviews and there doing this to a lot of people and getting away with it.I have picture of the car when I got it but didn't think of they keys.my son had used that exact rental a week before I believe around the 16 of June and he said that keys was like that.. I rented the car for 3 weeks but didn't use if just had it there to go to my pre opp 2x . Something needs to be done about thisInitial Complaint

This is a new company I never heard of, should have been my first clue. The office was closed when I landed so I had to take a taxi to the office my Rental agreement said its for a Kia Sorento, and they just left the keys in the unlocked car in the sunvisor. I saw a Kia which it was after 12am and they said after my Rental was a Toyota corolla, I just kept the Kia, with their agreement. After I dropped off and never got a look over by an employee. They keep my security deposit after I fly home. Stating damages. At no point was there any accident or I hit anything. The photo of the damages they sent me was grainy, and shadowy. Looks to be be dirt, but no scratch. The before photo is not dated. They are crooks. And take advantage of people, even said I could come see the damage of the car at the office, knowing I'm not in the state, thousands of miles away. Don't ever use them the reviews are true.Initial Complaint

I rented a van through AZ car rental on April 6th 2023 until April 13th of 2023 for our family vacation down in Orlando. I was asked for the 500.00 security deposit, which I provided with my bank account information. The money was deducted from our bank account on the 6th of April, not just a hold or pending but it was actually taken out of our account as a withdrawl. Which I was told it would be refunded back to me after we dropped off the vehicle. I received an email on the 21st of April 2023 stating that my deposit had been refunded back to me via my ***** ********** *** company which I have no clue who or what that is. When I tried to reach out to AZ car rental three times via phone and email. I was told it was just a hold and it would dissappear from my banking account and I wouldn't be able to see the transaction on my bank statements, the hold or the refund. When i asked where my refund was, I was told they didn't take anything from me according to their bank. So now I am out 500 dollars, that they supposedly didn't take from me.Initial Complaint

Booked a car thru rentalcars.com and prepaid for a 1 day rental on 2/22/23. In the rental office, the agent did not mention about any charges in addition to the what was already pre-paid... The agent then pulled up a signature box on his phone for me to sign the agreement. when asked what is in the agreement he said I will get a copy of the agreement via email. Again no mentioned of any additional charges... When i asked for a print out he said they don't have print outs and everything is via email. I was giving a car that wobbled and shook when driving. I reported that to the agent when returning the car... their cars are in horrible state. Now after having returned the car, the rental company is charging me a facility fee and for toll... On reaching out to the company via text, the agents keep insisting that it is the customers problem as they sign the contract.. You can see from the number of complaints filed against the company that they try to skim ppl of their money by sneaking in charges without mentioning them to the customer. they are evasive on chat and on phone when challenging these charges. Florida attorney general should shut down these scammers.. and i will report this to them.. and encourage all customers to do the same. I need the company to reverse those bogus chargesInitial Complaint

booked a car rental from this company on 1-13-2023. was told all i needed to do was have my voucher, a credit card, and a drivers license. when i got to the airport i could not find a rental desk. so i had to look up their number and call them. i was then given a form to fill out on my phone and was told to down load my drivers license and auto insurance info. i did not have my auto info and did not know how to down load info from my phone. i ended up having to rent a car from another company for a lot more money. i could not believe that they would do business like that. i feel they misrepresented themselves.
