Dislike: There was only one person at the reception who takes care of customers. If there are multiple customers waiting, it might take some time to get the documentation done.
Like: I was skeptical at first to book with Value cars after reading their reviews. But to my surprise, the pickup was done from the airport in about 10 minutes after I called them and the Office staff were friendly. All the documentation formalities were completed in about 15 minutes. The car was clean inside and out. Returning the car was done in less than 10 minutes. It was a good experience this time. May be I was just lucky !! :-) I will surely go with them again. Dislike: There was only one person at the reception who takes care of customers.

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.`
I was charged an extra fee when picking up the vehicle. I asked about the vehicle I had originally reserved and he said that it also said "or similar" and said that was the only vehicle available. The vehicle must have just came in, seats were stained (was not cleaned) and had visible damages. If it was not 7pm, I would have asked for my money back and found other transportation.
Being located at a Holiday Inn was strange. When I got on a shuttle for the airport @ 5am, I had waited for about 25 mins. I was the first passenger in line and by the time the shuttle to airport provided by Holliday Inn arrived there wasn’t enough room for everyone waiting. After boarding and having people that would have to wait for 30 mins for the shuttle to return the driver asked if there was anyone on board that was from the car rental company, if so we had to exit! To be honest I didn’t say a word because if I had to wait again I might miss my flight. The car rental assured me that there would be no problem using there shuttle because they didn’t open until 6am but unfortunately that proved to be false. The family group of 6 that had just dropped off there car and had to get to the airport where told they would have to wait until there was room left once hotel guest had been taken care of. Over all I really liked the rental company and my car but not having a shuttle running if there own before 6am was unacceptable and caused a big problem.
“Incredibly frustrating. You need to be upfront about the full price of the rental.”
About Value Car Rental:8.3/10
According to the emailed reservation confirmation from Easyrentcars the amount due at pickup was $18.64 (including taxes and surcharges). However, I ended up having to pay around $240! The biggest surprise fee was $109 for a collision damage waiver which I was told nothing about before hand. I believe telling the customer that they will be paying $19 at pickup and charging them over $200 is highly unethical.
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!
