Rentaflorida Reviews

Warning - Scam Operation

A 2 day car rental was booked via VIPCars app back in January 2024 Provider on my confirmation was noted as RentaFlorida and price quoted on collection was 45 Shuttle took us to an offsite area of the airport the shuttle driver helpfully pointed out the office of RentaFlorida which we would not have found otherwise No signage anywhere giving any indication of this business and an office in a very run down shabby presentation which did not fill me with confidence on arrival Having presented my reservation details and drivers licence I was informed that the price I would have to pay today would be 290 I questioned this and pointed out on my printed invoice where it stated 45 I was initially informed that it was Collision and Theft insurance When I pointed out that this was included as per my reservation document I was then told that this was a Florida Tax also an additional tax because I had a UK Drivers Licence I again questioned the legality of this and asked for an invoice which was unable to be provided The attendant then offered to reduce the price to 250 but again could not provide an invoice or any reasonable justification for the additional costs I then left the establishment having informed that I did not have confidence in them as an organisation I needed to make arrangements to return to the airport and to make a last minute car rental booking which cost me additional money I would urge anyone not to use this company as they are basically scamming tourists out of money by hyper inflating imaginary taxes on individuals I m thankful that I stood my ground and followed my instincts however I can understand that out of desperation to get a vehicle some people would pay up these funds when requested

Scam using small print and international license

I found Renta Florida in Miami through DiscoverCars After a detailed study and chosing an option that had everything included the price was still very appealing however it had strings attached and a scam They were looking for excuses to add additional charges In our case since in Florida it is not mandatory we did not get an international drivers license which was in the small print The rental company did not have a problem renting the car to us without an international license but used the excuse to more than double the cost As a tourist at that stage with all the family waiting you have little time to replan everything so we ended up paying Since the small print also allowed for a US license I asked if I could use my California license and they said that would be a different rate that would have even more cost The person at the desk was very blunt and defensive we were not allowed to take pics of the contract or make any notes about this issue To top it off the rental car arrived over two hours later claiming it was on its way but there was traffic Their low prices are a hook but beware they will find ways of adding charges Beware of all the small print requirements and being tempted by unusually low prices as you will end up paying market and more

DO NOT USE

DO NOT USE We hired through discoverycars com originally named Sonic rentals when I booked the car hire They rented us an un road worthy car as the indicator and break light were broken Their advice was to go to a mechanic which we did but they couldn t fix it as it was beyond repair They stopped answering our calls messages when we asked for a replacement Said we had to drive back to them to exchange it in a dangerous vehicle At the time we were over 200 miles away Communication attitude was appalling Like other reviews original booking was a good price but ended up paying 1600 and have had none of that returned Please don t think cheap is good go with a reputable brand

A bunch of scammers

Don t touch this company with a barge pole They are evil Their practices are criminal They will exploit you The voucher issued by Discover Cars said pay at location 375 Renta Florida demanded 2 005 and refused to release the car unless we paid The staff use menacing tactics and misrepresentation In addition they gave us a car with an expired tag so we couldn t drive it from half way through the rental They refused to do anything about this and forced us to return it when it was illegal to drive Overall a disgusting and despicable company

SCAM

SCAM Beware there will be 500 In additional fees once you paid for your rental in full online The fees are ridiculous The 120 online that you are paying doesn t include state fees and everything else
