They stated that the additional insurance I had purchased at the time of booking with Expedia was not sufficient, and they refused to allow me to use my Allstate insurance even though I had my card. They coerced me into paying for their insurance at $30/day. I was tired after my long flight and long wait, I reluctantly agreed. I was directed to go outside to a lot across the street where they proceeded to spend a long time checking out a car to another party. After another long wait, they brought out a beat up Toyota Corolla with many dings and rust spots. The tires looked worn, and the seats were stained. I was anxious to get my hotel, and I drove off. Soon after, a warning light came on, but the car seemed to drive ok. A couple of days later, the left rear tire blew out when I was driving on a smooth highway. I pulled into a parking lot and called Priceless. They said none of the insurances covered tire blow -outs and told me to call Triple A to have the spare tire put on. I drove slowly -- under 55mph back to Tampa a distance of 60 miles after Triple A changed to the spare. When I returned the car, again, the shuttle was nowhere to be seen, and the office did not know how long it would be. At this time, a woman who had waited a long time for the shuttle from the airport decided not to rent from them. They did not want to give her a ride back to the airport. She called an Uber, and was kind enough to offer me a ride to the airport. The next day, they emailed me their "receipt" and I saw multiple fees as well as $350 for "tire damage". In total, the 5 day rental cost over $500.
I wish I had checked for reviews prior to booking. I saw numerous reviews that reported similar experiences -- poorly maintained cars, tire blow outs, engine failures, exorbitant fees and demands to pay for their insurance. They fraudulently misrepresent their proximity to the airport, and fraudulently list low rental rates, knowing that they will be able to add on huge fees and worst of all, the cars are unreliable and unsafe.
