Cons:

It was a total scam, they end up charging you just as much as name brand companies through forcing you to buy unnecessary insurance which is not disclosed when I made my non-refundable reservation.

Awesome service at the desk and very quick pick up, they even said yes when I asked to pick up the car 2 hours earlier that scheduled. Drop off was equally fast. Best of all, other rent-a-cars were asking for a 3-day minimum rent, because it was Holy Week. Hertz didn't had any issue in me renting the car for just 1 day.

I paid for insurance but i am not sure the insurance information provided was correct. I am told by my credit card company that the car insurance on rental vehicles is included as a feature on my credit card. Dollar car rental at Costa Rica airport was not accepting the insurance from my credit card.

Horrible experience. The lady that sits at the front desk with Usave is unbelievably rude, not only to me but to all of the customers she deals with. When we had trouble with the rental (they lied saying it was 4WD or AWD) she was nasty in WhatsApp messages (I still have them). Overall horrible experience, too many rental car places to fall victim to Usave’s handling of their customers. Never again. And stop recommending this place to travelers.

I had paid for my car in full. I had to wait for my bus to pick us up. He didn’t want to wait. When I arrived at the pick up I was late due to bad weather and my car was given away. Remember I paid in full the car so it should have been there no matter what. I receive a smaller car after paying for the more larger one and wasn’t given my money back. Was told my insurance on my master card wasn’t good enough for insurance which I had used Multiple times in Florida. Which is the reason I have this cards to for theses extras. I was forced to purchase insurance. He told me I had to complete the walk around and fill out the forms as I look for the damage. Never had to do that. I walked around in the dark as the property doesn’t have enough light to see the dents and scratches on the vehicle. The office wasn’t up to standard. Needs a face lift. Wanted to drop off the car and there’s didn’t have a night time drop off between. 11pm- 6am . Had to paid $100 for airport drove off.

The car was clean, but the sale tactics were not. I had prepaid for the vehicle and read all of the fine print listed on the rental page before purchase...and also the NextCar policy page on their website! Yet when arriving to pick up the vehicle, agent Johan said my insurance declaration page was not sufficient (it has never been a problem before, anywhere) and that I must pay for their liability insurance. It was twice the price of the vehicle per day. I wasted over an hour trying to communicate the unfairness, but they pointed to a line in their MIA franchisee website (not the NextCar home page) that justified their charges. Bad faith business.

Complete details were not provided on the rental via the website. The representative at the counter and all NextCar representatives contacted via many phone calls were extremely discourteous, unprofessional and did not assist with providing a solution to my issue. I will not use this company in the future nor will I recommend them to anyone.
