4/5/24

Pros: Nothing, they left us stranded...

Cons: Everything, i will never consider them again... what a terrible experience...

United States of America (USA)
Hyundai Creta
1/10/24

Pros: The car was fine that’s it. Everything else was a horrible experience by all 3 parties renting.

Cons: I bout full coverage. Full coverage should be full coverage. I was told Amex did cover anything and then told the counter would need a letter stating they. After getting Amex on the phone and getting them to send a letter I was told to nevermind we know they cover several things no need. Just lies. Also why am I getting charge $185 or so for tag fees on you cars. We will never rent from you again and will fill up you website with bad reviews. This was bait and switch at its best. CR

United States of America (USA)
Hyundai Creta
1/1/24

United States of America (USA)
Hyundai Creta
8/2/23

Pros: Check out was hassle free.

Cons: rented small SUV for a month, quote $430. I knew we would hit for Supplemental insurance but got screwed on it costing me additional $1040. Also the name of the car rental company was different than my emailed info.

United States of America (USA)
Suzuki Jimny
2/5/23

Pros: Drop off was quick.

Cons: Long wait to get to the rental counter, an agent tried to force collision insurance on me telling me I needed a letter from the credit card company even though it is widely known that credit cards offer collision damage coverage.

United Kingdom
Suzuki Jimny
11/14/22

Pros: Guy was helpful on the phone as they don’t have a desk or anything at the airport.

Canada
Suzuki Jimny
11/11/22

Pros: The upgraded our car for “free.” Staff were friendly. Car wasn’t based on per km rate.

Cons: There was no formal receipt after paying approx $1500 in hidden fees upon arrival. Calculations were done with a calculator and a number was typed into a visa machine for you to pay without any formal confirmation of what you were paying for.

United States of America (USA)
Hyundai Tucson
10/19/22

Pros: Tiziana, the representative that helped us in San Jose, was an absolute angel to work with. Not only did she save me a significant amount on my rental by recommending that I use my American Express insurance instead of the coverage the sell in-house, but when we had a little fender-bender, she was kind and patient and extremely efficient in handling the claim on her end. I had read negative things about car rental companies in Costa Rica, but quickly had my faith restore by these folks.

Pros: Only good thing was the drop off service . The girl was very nice and quick…the shuttle service back to the airport was smooth

Cons: The guy at the desk was a complete moron. Very rude and arrogant. I had to pay an additional insurance that I was never told about. I will never rent from there again…

9/8/22

Pros: I didn’t like a single thing
