It was an awful experience. They denied my credit card CDW and would not let me decline their insurance. I provided proof that my credit card covers it and that I am insured. It very much felt like a bait and switch which doubled the cost of my rental.

First we had to wait for the shuttle to take us to the Value desk in side hotel near the airport. There was 2 ladies on the counter. First lady was helping another customer and the second lady was doing paperwork and she told me to wait for her colleague. I had to wait more than 30 mins till she finished with the customer. After that she told me that we will not fit in the Compact car and we need to pay for the upgrade. I told her that we booked intermediate car but she insists that the booking is showing compact car so I had to open the roaming to show her the email confirmation on my phone is for Toyota Corolla. After that she was trying hard to rent me the device for the tolls as I understand from her that most of the highways are using this device. I trusted her and rent it for $9 per day for a week. When she did hold on my credit card I have found it’s more than we agreed but she told me that the extra is for roads fees. I have paid double the amount that was showing in your website. After I picked the car and left the hotel I discovered that there is no tolls device on the front windshield so I had to call her back and she told they forgot to put in the car. In the following day I have realized that there no a lot of tolls so I spoke with a guy in the same location to return the device and to charge me for 1 day only but he refused and told me that I had to pay for the all week. At the end I have paid more than I was expecting.

Value car rental took $ 2,500 from my card for the dent that was on the car before I took it for rent. In the documents when checking the condition the car damage was noted. When I left the car, there were no complaints about the damage. Three days later, they charge me $ 2500. Stay clear of this company!

“Pleased but worrie some at return!”
About ESSENCE: 9.0 /10
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.

“Suck car rental company.”
About ESSENCE: 2.0 /10
Value car rental in Orlando, Florida will take advantage on you, not other car rental company that will upgrade your car free. They call it upgrade but the car that they gave it to me is older model with a lot of scratches, no keyless entry and smell stink. Not worth it for forcing us to upgrade. First time I got a problem with car rental company. I will never rent a car in this company again, never.

“Terrible and unreliable”

I paid in advance 3 weeks prior for reservations for a car I was going to need once I got to the airport. The company lost canceled or lost my reservation... and had to seek another car rental which cost more money and over 4 hours of aggravation at the airport. A terrible experience and start to a vacation we planned in advance. Would never refer anyone to this company, was told by other car companies that they are know for doing this like this to other people. I’m seeking to dispute the charge on my credit card. A major pain now deal with all this crap!!
