Rent-A-Wreck

Don't bother. This is a terrible place. Our car was completely unsafe and the tires were flat. The bumper was falling off and a headlight was out among other things. Just stay away and read the other reviews.

I rented a vehicle from Rent-a-Wreck branches in other cities, and I generally got moderately used vehicles that were quite acceptable and at a great price. In Newark, my experience was shocking when I saw the remarkably poor condition of the car. It had 130,450 miles on it, it had tears in the bumpers, appeared like it hadn't been cleaned or vacuumed in months. The muffler sounded like at any moment it could fall off the car due to excessive vibration and rattle, the tire pressure warning light was constantly flashing -- which lead me to have to immediately check all tires (but none needed air) and the seatbelt warning light was on constantly. When I began my trip, the fuel gauge was dangerously low, literally running on fumes, and I didn't know if I would even make it to a gas station -- which is scary when you arrive late at night and you're in Newark. The owner obviously is trying to run a business without any hands on true work or involvement. You pick the car up from a lot, it's never been inspected or cleaned, the car is just barely functional, with excessive mileage and wear, and probably quite dangerous to drive. I recommend spending extra money and not using this Rent-a-Wreck location.

If I could rate this low grade scum of a company zero I most definitely would! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!! Stay FAR AWAY from these scam artists and THIEVES! They will claim you had the car an additional day to charge you additional fees!!! Never in my life will I ever use this dispicable service ever again!!! Ugh the nightmare to deal with these people is horrendous! And to even get anyone to be rational is a far shot! They are a franchise and their corporate office won't do nothing but take down a customer complaint oh geez what a total joke if I could I would curse like a sailor to the jokes of a company because the boiling point of unprofessionalism is thee absolute worst! PLEASE DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR AND GO TO A REPUTABLE LEGIT TRUSTING COMPANY DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SNAKES IN THE GRASS!

People, do yourselves a favor, rent a car from legit companies, doesn't matter which one, even if the rental price is double then this scam company offers. That way you will save your time and money. The cars they give you are total junk, surprisingly they have inspection labels, I was worried that I will get killed driving one. Truly the worst company I had to deal with, even in 4th world countries cars are better. Take my word for it

Do not use these folks. This is a total scam. Charged me $75 for cancelling a month before my reservation. Totally bogus company.
