Terrible and awful experience

The directions for pick up in the email were not accurate. Could not get ahold of the car rental company to coordinate a drop off since my flight was before they open

If the rating scale was 10 being great down to 0 being the worst then I would give an extremely large negative number to rate this company because it is the most awful and unprofessional company I have ever dealt with. In addition to this being a truly terrible experience I now have a fraudulent charge from here that my credit card company is disputing and taking care of. After that is resolved I am seeking further legal action against this company. I will make sure everyone I know and even people I don't know never ever use this company.

Car was fine, small economy car. Picking up the car was HORRENDOUS. Shuttle bus driven by non english speaking driver, had no idea if I was on the right shuttle. Got to the container office in the middle of a parking lot, 6 miles away, only to find out that I could not use my OWN Florida insurance with out an additional $10 per day charge, I could not use my OWN Sunpass Transponder with out possible fines, Difficulty in communicating with a non english speaking staff. They video taped the delivery condition of the car, I imagine to scare renters into taking exceptional care of their vehicles. My affordable car rental had extra hidden charges of more than $160.00. Never ever have I had such a frustrating car pick up. Will never go off airport property again.

Since our flight had been delayed twice, we finally reached Orlando by midnight. It had been a long journey and we were met with hostility and aggressiveness at the counter. The man asked for all these extra documents, such as a passport when we’ve NEVER been asked to present such document with any other car service in the United States. I am from New Jersey so I have a legal license. When we got there, there was a bunch of hidden fees not once mentioned on their website. They then even asked for a 1,000$ security for a car that was only going to be in our possession for 6 days. Needless to say, we left quite disappointed we thought we had found a cheaper option, but it just turns out with all the hidden fees, the value of renting with this company amounts to the same as other name brand ones. This company also has you pay for the sun pass experience even when you don’t use it. This is a nonnegotiable charge that we had to pay even when we didn’t use one toll. There is also a charge associated when one uses their own insurance, something that we have not encountered with other companies. After this horrendeous experience, we begin our mini vacation. The following morning a car sensor’s went off declaring that the car required maintenance. The fact that this company would issue customers a car that requires maintenance is insulting. When we tried to contact the company, they gave us a phone number to send them pictures too, but they didn’t even bother on opening the message much less contact us after the initial call. With the car in this condition, we felt unsafe traveling along the highways. This ultimately ruined our vacation.

This deal was a scam. It was not obvious that specific insurers were accepted otherwise they would tack on lot of charges. If you carried Platinum credit card, these charges can be waived. I will never rent from here again and will tell my friends to intentionally avoid One Switch. Terrible experience all and all.
