Rent-A-Wreck

Pros: cheap
Cons: cars can be crappy

Last weekend, I rented a car from Rent-A-Wreck to go to a conference in West Virginia. My own car was in the shop for the weekend due to a broken alternator and I had promised three other people a ride there. In a pinch and not wanting to blow big...

Pros: Cheep carsLow PricesGood "Blending in" Type Cars
Cons: you shouldn't be caught dead in one, and if u do it's likely to happen.

In the mood to rent a "beautiful" stallion to ride around in for the weekend?  With renting anything, especially and auto, you are to expect a few dings, and scratches.  But OMG!!!  This is not your typical car rental outlet. ...

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: I didn't have to suffer having one of their cars.
Cons: I had to pay an extra $175 to get a car from an alternate company.

I reserved a car from Rent-A-Wreck Seattle in March for a two-week holiday in September 2008. I showed up at the airport in the evening (having flown from overseas) and called the number Rent-A-Wreck had given me for the free shuttle to collect my car. I ...

Pros: Only good for under-25
Cons: Horrible service, bad quality, not that cheap anymore

The car they gave me in New Jersey was this 11 year-old Oldsmobile gas guzzler (I'd requested a compact), missing a hubcap, A/C didn't work, and it overheated only 30 minutes after I left the lot! Made a lot of noises, and couldn't get over 60mph. I complained when I got back, but they could care less. I was thrilled that they didn't scam me for "damages" like many others have been scammed by this office.

I paid $25/day, and you can get cars on Priceline for around $30 from decent agencies. For a $5 difference, I'd strongly urge you NEVER to use Rent-a-Wreck!!

Pros: Cheap, friendly Service, Free Pick Up & Drop Off
Cons: sold out quickly this Christmas

I called Rent-A-Wreck in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on the Friday before Christmas as a last resort to rent a car. The manager I spoke to told me that he had been sold out until ten minutes before my call, but had a Camry returned early. The price was $35 and the car had about 15,000 miles on it when he dropped it off to me. They didn't charge extra for the drop off service (I was stuck at a hotel across town) and even gave me some great advice about a local restaurant to take my in-laws. When I returned the car a week later they dropped me off at the airport. Very nice people, I would recommend to any one.

Pros: Good daily rate
Cons: Not well maintained.

I rented from the R-A-W location on Cleveland Ave in Fort Meyers. I wasn't looking for anything fancy - just to get from point A to point B. They gave me their "best" economy car. It included such extras as very stained upholstery and multiple cigarette burns in the roof liner. The steering wheel shook every time I used more the just a little pressure on the brakes. The trunk release inside the car - normally located on the floor below the driver's seat - was broken off, had to use the keys every time. Not a big deal normally but this trip I happened to use the trunk a lot. The dome light didn't work. It did have a couple little "map lights" built into the rear view mirror that worked so I could at least see in the dark. Other than that it was just ok. I've rented from R-A-W in the past at other locations with very satisfactory results. I expect a clean, higher mileage, fully functioning car with maybe a few dings and scratches at a reasonable price. And that's what I usually get. I won't go back to this place.

Pros: None, its cheap, not worth it
Cons: Its all a con, its cheap, not worth it!!!

Rent-a-wreck aka: Clovers Clunkers, aka: Stacys camper rental in Rochester, New York. Wow, we rented a beat up Neon, had a flat tire in less than a mile, took it for a parking lot spin thinking it was a fluke. Within 5 miles the engine was seizing, shaking and jolting. We returned it. Felt like a death trap. The owner was cold, rude, and arrogant. should have stayed away from a business with clunkers in the name. Lost time, and gained aggravation. Will go with my instincts next time!

Pros: low weekly rates dependable car
Cons: could not drive more than 100 miles away from Myrtle Beach

I recently rented from Rent A Wreck in Myrtle Beach and found the car to be in good shape. The car had 70,000 miles but was clean and dependable for the 7 plus days I used it.
The major players would have charged an extra day since I checked it out at noon and did not return it until 4pm on the seventh day. My compact Chevrolet ran me $101.20 including taxes. This was less than one half the price for the major rental companies.

Pros: NOTHING...I CAN WRITE MORE WORSE THINGS
Cons: THIS COMPANY MUST BE CLOSED,HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE,TRY TO ROB CUSTOMERS, CRAP CARS ON EARTH

Its the most horrible car rental i have ever found...Crap cars...May be you would find better cars in the crap...The worst customer service...worst insurance policies...No proper damage waiver...and if some damage occurs...no matter what,..YOU HAVE TO PAY $500...You are not informed of the rules ,regulations and fares before you rent a car. All they want is to grab the customer, try to rob them if they get a chance..it was my mistake to rent a wrecked car than the name says....NEVER rent it...
its cheap car rental full of cheap and rude managers and customer service offices. Dirty offices, Dirty cars, and oops ...i forgot to mention, the car I rented had NO BRAKES...GOSH I AM ALIVE...I PAID $600 for 3 day car rental.I wanted to get rid of the headache i have chosen...i would never ever go by the car rental...i would either say...I would never see the face of the manager there...he was so horrible...God Bless USA from RENT A WRECK!!!!!

Pros: The staff was very helpful and kind. you can use a debit card
Cons: NONE

Im 18 years old and I rented a wreck from the scotch plains office in New Jersey.  I was involved in an accident and needed to rent a car. Rent a Wreck was the only place that would rent to me. They had a couple cars when i got there there was older and newer cars  to choose from . I ended up with an 07 ford taurus . Everything worked out well and the price was unbeatable even if i was able to rent from another car rental company. Rent A Wreck A LOT cheapper. The employees that work the office were really accommodating.I would rent here again.
