Rent-A-Wreck

Pros: dependably low rates
Cons: no airport location, short hours, inconvenient locations

Now don't get me wrong here, I like Rent-A-Wreck. I like their down-home, down-to-earth attitude. I like the promise of being able to save a bit of green on rental cars. I like their philosophy. I just do NOT like them from the travel ...

Pros: Reliable Customer Service. No bait/switch or funky pricing.
Cons: Cars were a little old and used and beat up.

Most times when I am renting a car, it is for dependability or a little bit of luxury. If I am on business in a city and need to rent a car, I will usually go to one of the big chains because they have a bigger selection of locations to pick up and drop ...

Pros: saves money, no 21-24 age restrictions or extra fees, will pick up/ drop off
Cons: mileage restrictions, off-site locations, limited vehicles selections

Rent-A-Wreck: sounds like you'll be getting some rusty beater that sounds as bad as it looks, right? You may be pleasantly surprised by what you actually find at Rent-A-Wreck.

I have used this car rental agency twice, once in Orlando and once...

Pros: cheapest deal in town, and it got me there
Cons: unpolished customer service, disintegrating car

I moved to Seattle, and needed a rental car. I expected to need it for a couple of weeks, so I wanted something cheap. I'm under 25, and was hoping to avoid the underage surcharges. I booked a car with Rent-A-Wreck of Seattle, which is close to ...

Pros: You can get the one with the Big Tail fins...
Cons: Some of the shops Don't Understand, and occasionally the cars break down... (but when they do, YOU don't have to fix them.)

It's not as terrible as it sounds. Actually, we were renting it for the bride and groom. And no, it wasn't because they were carless or penniless. It was because rent a wrecks are unique and that makes them fun.

At least in...

Pros: cheaper than the rest, good customer service, reliable cars
Cons: some people might not want to drive a used car, not a big selection

I've rented with Rent-A-Wreck 3 times now and each time was a pleasant experience. Of course, I've only rented at one location, perhaps other locations aren't as good. My epinion is on the location in Towson, MD (a suburb of Baltimore County). A few...

Pros: luxery cars
Cons: the cars are old and have problems, poor customer service

When I went to Arizona to visit my high school buddy, we needed to rent a car since his was in the shop. My friend had rented from Rent-a-Wreck before and had good luck.

Well, we ended up getting a Lincoln Continental because that was the...

Pros: Cheap, Supercool and an Experience not to miss
Cons: None - although an older car would be even better

Now you'll probably think I am nutty and you are probably right, but I have wanted to rent a car from RentaWreck for years. I mean the name is just so cool it sits up there with Nike,IBM you name it. In terms of memorability who can fault it. And if...

Pros: Cheap.
Cons: Lives up to its name.

If the name doesn't immediately make you take pause and wonder why, in fact, they call this place rent-a-wreck, consider this: the initials are RAW, which is pretty much how you'll feel if you make the mistake of not knowing what you're getting...

Pros: Low daily rate. No hidden costs or surprises. Car ran well. Good mileage.
Cons: Slight blemish in the car -- but it is a "wreck" after all.

Rent a Wreck is great! At least my San Francisco Rent a Wreck experience was everything it should have been. The daily rate for my small economy car was $27 plus tax. I was allowed 200 miles per day free miles, and I wound up paying .15 cents per mile...

Pros: Catchy name
Cons: Customer service sucks

Looking for a great price on a rental car? Than you have come to the right place. But that feel-good feeling will quickly leave you as you find out this is quickly turning into a nightmare.

I used Rent-A-Wreck once. It happened to be...

Pros: Any port in a storm
Cons: Sometimes they break down

At one time I lived in Houston, TX. That is a city that has severe flooding at times. Unfortunately it is populated with many people moving there because of work and not familiar with Texas flooding. My experience with Rent-A-Wreck happened when a...

Pros: low price, good cars
Cons: license plate says "rent-a-wreck", it might bother you

I live in a small town in Kansas. We have only one car rental, and it’s located 15 miles away. It’s called Rent-a-wreck. Even though it has “wreck” in the name, they loan out good-looking cars. They run nicely, and the inside and outside look...

Pros: Excellent service and reasonable prices!!
Cons: All the Paperwork!

An accident is something I wouldn't wish on anyone....unfortunately, someone wished one on me! I was the victim of a rear end collision severe enough to break the drivers seat in my mini-van, at around noon. I made a phone call to the local Rent A...

Pros: Bit cheaper than renting new
Cons: older cars

I chose Rent-A-Wreck for financial reasons. I wasn't quite expecting a car that was 12 years old however. I had no real complaints about the car, it was much more reliable than my old van.

My only real complaint was that I told them...
