Worst rental experience I've had.

I waited one hour eight the airport for the shuttle bus !

REAL EXPERIENCE!! AIRPORT AND SHUTTLE: I arrived at Orlando Airport and walked about 10 minutes to the shuttle stop. I waited at the shuttle stop for around 15 minutes, the shuttle arrived. The ride was around 20-25 minutes as the shuttle visited both terminals on the way to the place. ROUTES OFFICE: When arrived at Routes, there were around 15 people in the room. I signed a waiting list so I was now in queue to collect my pre-booked car. They had Netflix on a TV (but the screen was frozen) and a few chairs, but they were all occupied. They had a water cooler but it was empty, so I stood by the door. After around 30 minutes, somebody called my name and I went to the counter. CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE: Nobody was wearing name tags, but a lady helped me and the first thing she said was: "Which insurance would you like to buy?"... Option 1. 21.95 per day or Option 2: 24.95 a day. The difference was the deductible. I told them I don't want to purchase insurance, I had my own. So they asked me for insurance proof, however, my insurance ID card was not enough. They wanted the full form which listed all the figures and totals lol. After calling my company 3 times and spending around 40 mintues on the phone, I finally got the paperwork emailed over. I saw many people giving up and paying them $21.95 per day, I suppose this is how they get their money! CHARGES: Deposit they charged to my card was $350 based on a $50 rental. They charge 11.95 per day for SunPass. If you run a cashless toll without it, their admin fee is $100 per toll. They do not rent to young drivers under any circumstances. Insurance Option 1. 21.95 per day or Option 2: 24.95 a day I made a video of the entire experience for YouTube. Check that out soon! :)

Vehicle had major drive line vibration issue. When I returned the vehicle early the staff could not issue a refund and instead directed me to contact their customer service department.

I had prepaid for a "Toyota Corolla or similar" vehicle at MCO for January 30, 2019. When I arrived at EasyRentCars MCO which had a large "Routes" sign outside, I was told that the only vehicle they had was a Jeep Rubicon. I asked if there was any alternative. The young woman staff member said "Yes, you have an alternative. You can leave and go back to the airport." Therefore I accepted the Jeep. On leaving the parking lot the vehicle made a terrible rumbling sound and the steering wheel shook. I returned and reported this to the same staff member. She said that this was due to the tires that were installed on this type of Jeep, and it was normal. When I reached my destination after 2.5 hours of freeway driving I saw that the front tires were almost bald. I therefore did not drive the car further. I called EasyRentCars at MCO and when I explained the situation they put me on hold and immediately hung up on me. When I called again I was put on hold for 15 minutes until I eventually hung up. I called the Customer Service number for Routes that I found though Google. "Kimmy" at Routes Ontario Customer Service was helpful and connected me to the manager "Kevin" (who I have previously been told was not in the office). He asked me to send photographs of the tires to him along with my phone number so he could contact me with a solution. Kevin did not call me. When I called again I was told that Kevin had left for the day. I was told that a replacement vehicle would be driven to my location in Jacksonville the next day. In the afternoon of the next day EasyRentCars delivered a new car to me. As the Rental Voucher states that the Car Supplier is Routes Car & Truck Rentals please help me!!

Like: Service staff was great, car upgrade was good, thank god for GPS for finding our way to and from the office location, shuttle driver back to the airport was outstanding
Dislike: confusion on airport pickup, no indication that we had to call for a shuttle. could use more staff at the desk to expedite pickup and dropoff
