Rent-A-Wreck

Pros: Great price
Cons: Just a little bit older and sad compared to a bright shinny new car.

When I flew to Florida I had a ride to my condo. I did not have a car. You can not get around without a car. I did some diligent reading in the phone book. I found a Rent A Wreck establishment nearby. The office space was used for many various functions. ...

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: Nice cars,Good People, GREAT RATES
Cons: Should took plastic off of seats

Where I live at there are two rental car Locations. I choose to go to Rent A Wreck, Like anyone else to save money but,I got a pleasant surprise when I got there.First, of all people where nice and helpful and belive or not they had NEW CARS. There were...

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: 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: 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: 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: Low rates especially long term; cater to under 25 crowd; Nice "wrecks"; Pleasant efficient staff.
Cons: Lack good locations with limited airport coverage; Limited car availability; No extended business hours.

I've rented a car from two different locations in Southern California (once multiple times) and both were good experiences. At the time I was 21 and was still treated great. They offer many of the perks that other chains offer such as free pickup and ...

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: allows underage drivers to rent cars
Cons: location not as convenient

I was on a summer internship with Ford Motor Company with 1200 other college aged interns, and funny enough, those of us under 21 find it difficult to rent cars-the irony of it, we work for one of the biggest car manufacture in US and the interns can't...

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: 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...

Pros: Cheap, they pick you up
Cons: Off airport, had some billing problems

We rented a subcompact from them (their Scottsdale, AZ office)for 3 days and they picked us up at the airport and took us to the office (about 10 minutes from the airport). They were very overworked, but the process was fairly simple. The car (a 1998...

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 ...
