David Car Rentals

Pros: Sort of

Cons: Said Audi g4 was cheap Kia Rio not a great car!

safety hazard -- bald tires on rental car

Pros: Similar to Thrifty in U.S., but this was outweighed by lack of tread on rentail car tires.

Cons: Thrifty employee acted as though renting a car with almost no tread on its tires was normal.

They still owe me a $300 refund! It's been 11 days.

Pros: Not much.

Cons: We ordered a Jeep Wrangler and were only offered a Suzuki Jimmy that could practically fit in the back seat of the Wrangler. They refused to drop the price, saying it was a comparable vehicle and a Wrangler was not available. We were also told that it is mandatory to get full insurance in the country of Panama, so the price immediately went from the quoted $78 to $350 for the week. Then we ended up getting a vehicle from my wife's family, so I returned the Jimmy after only 3 hours. I added fuel to it and was told I would still be charged for 1 full day, at just over $44. I was told they would refund the remaining $300 and as of today, 11 days after the rental, I still don't have my refund. I intend to seek legal action if I don't get my money back very soon.

Charged 10X's the cost quoated

Pros: Good vehicle, clean

Cons: Cost was 10X's the quote when booked online. FORCED to take extra insurance or would not let us rent

Cons: Getting held hostage over insurance that my CC already covers and having a letter from insurance company in English and Spanish that clarifies the issue being ignored. Be careful as u show up and are hit with uneccessary fees and are stuck

Worst car rental experience ever

Pros: Nothing

Cons: After a 20 min line they just said to me that my reservation was automatically canceled because im local(panamanian) and online reservations are only for tourists. I had to looked for others car rental companies and thanks to Alamo Rent a car they save my weekend. So stupid to said or to even have a policy (that no one knows about it) that affects local people.
