Not very pleased with the surprised mandatory (forced) liability insurance charge!

everything ok

It was incredibly hard to find the pick up location and not very well signed. I also was forced to buy insurance coverage that I did not want because they would not except my insurance carrier. Just cost me an extra $50 which was half of the cost of my rental car agreement that I bought from the website but I didn’t have another option because there was no other rental car counter is near this location. This is the reason why I would not rent from them again

Since our flight had been delayed twice, we finally reached Orlando by midnight. It had been a long journey and we were met with hostility and aggressiveness at the counter. The man asked for all these extra documents, such as a passport when we’ve NEVER been asked to present such document with any other car service in the United States. I am from New Jersey so I have a legal license. When we got there, there was a bunch of hidden fees not once mentioned on their website. They then even asked for a 1,000$ security for a car that was only going to be in our possession for 6 days. Needless to say, we left quite disappointed we thought we had found a cheaper option, but it just turns out with all the hidden fees, the value of renting with this company amounts to the same as other name brand ones. This company also has you pay for the sun pass experience even when you don’t use it. This is a nonnegotiable charge that we had to pay even when we didn’t use one toll. There is also a charge associated when one uses their own insurance, something that we have not encountered with other companies. After this horrendeous experience, we begin our mini vacation. The following morning a car sensor’s went off declaring that the car required maintenance. The fact that this company would issue customers a car that requires maintenance is insulting. When we tried to contact the company, they gave us a phone number to send them pictures too, but they didn’t even bother on opening the message much less contact us after the initial call. With the car in this condition, we felt unsafe traveling along the highways. This ultimately ruined our vacation.

This deal was a scam. It was not obvious that specific insurers were accepted otherwise they would tack on lot of charges. If you carried Platinum credit card, these charges can be waived. I will never rent from here again and will tell my friends to intentionally avoid One Switch. Terrible experience all and all.

The price seemed good on the surface but we never got the car & had to book one at GreenMotion up the street. BUYER BEWARE: you must have a hard copy of insurance...... they would not accept our electronic insurance copy(as every other rental company does), nor had a printer or any accommodation to work around that. So I booked a car somewhere else as we sat in the tiny waiting room & took an Uber to get it. Was ultimately still cheaper than paying the hefty insurance cost One Switch wanted to charge.
