RUN from Nextcar, Priceless, Stride, MCX they are all the same Company
Waited for pickup for an hour. After picking up took us to grungy ran down business. Walked in and all customers were on phone trying to get insurance documents off phone. Everyone was upset. Had to put down a $500 deposit that we can't get back for 15 days, pay $25/day for toll service. Signed 12 waivers. Which i had to resign because they said it didn't match my driver's licensce. Was informed I couldn't return my car because they wouldn't be open when our flight leaves. This is hard with a family of 6. Told us we could leave it a certain area for a 150 extra fee and not refund our money for having to deliver it a day early and get 2 Uber trips now. Had to inspect our own vehicle and the car only had a 1/4 tank of gas which they would not fill up and said bring it back with same amount or more. Totally ridiculous!! Please cancel your partnership with Stride, Nextcar or MCX. Every customer in that facility was passed. I am surprised someone has not been shot at their place of business!!

Van Broke Down, Never Received Reimbursement
We rented a van from Rent-a-Wreck (DriveSafe France) in May 2025. We had informed the company of warning lights on the dashboard and had been told to ignore them. After a couple of days, we broke down deep in the countryside and were stranded with two small children, four adults, and our luggage. I was reassured that we would be reimbursed for these expenses and receive a full refund, but I have spent two months trying to get reimbursement without any results. They have only offered partial reimbursement (€832 out of €1,532 in costs), even though the service was never rendered, and have never actually reimbursed me and have ignored me now for over a month. Unprofessional and unacceptable — I’ve submitted a formal complaint to French authorities (DGCCRF and SignalConso). Avoid this company if you want basic reliability or accountability.
Double charge
Paid for my car rental with Expedia in May 2025 to pick up at the Belair Road location, got a beat up car that has stains on all the seats and the driver seat floor mat even has a hole. I didn't have time to request for another car and I didn't think they have another car in their lot to give me by the look of the lot so I took the rental. I returned the car on time and paid the toll. I was told that there won't be any more charges and I will have my final receipt. In June I got charged for $19 and $34 for toll. In July 2025 I got charged again for the full car rental fee. The reason being is that the toll wasn't generated at the time of return which I understand that, but why am I being charged again for the rental fee? NextCar said the fee was refunded by Expedia to me therefore NextCar is charging me the fee. I called Expedia and I was told that I wasn't refunded but even though NextCar charged me again Expedia is not going to refund me. So now I paid Expedia online at the time of booking and be charged again by NextCar in July 2025. My bank has done told me no once because I received the service so my dispute is denied. How is it no one look at my bank statement and see no refund and look at their Corp records and see they received the money twice? I'm still waiting for my bank's answer since I called them and NextCar again today. But it seems like NextCar has lots of victims like me so stay away.
Absolute scam
Turks and caicos. Absolute scam. The SUV had 341,000 miles. It was covered in damage. Flat and bald tires. We returned the car as soon as we secured a safe vehicle less than 24hours. No response from management, no refund of the 6 unused days, no security deposit returned.
If you are a FL resident
If you are a FL resident, don't go there. You only get 50 miles per day. And they charge you $2500 as security. Stay away from them. 0 star. The $7 you think you are paying can actually turn to thousands.
No car
Had a reservation for anchorage airport and it was cancelled with no email. Now can’t get my money refunded. No next car or Priceline in my travels.
Emmanuel
Emmanuel, who works at the NextCar desk at the BWI Hanover rental facility, was more than helpful and polite to me. I had a strenuous travel schedule last week-he is not only personable but well informed, offering suggestions and help in making this part of my trip easier.
They are trying to keep your money
My mom returned her rental in February 2025 and they still have not returned her deposit they have been giving her the run around through the phone and email. There excuse is a system error that they have not bothered to rectify keeping $250 of my mother hard earn money. If this is how they do business please avoid this place. Nothing ruins a vacation or a good time than having to fight or argue about money that is owed to you...
Negative one star if I could
We rented in Houston and this business is not at the airport. To get the shuttle you’re supposed to call them but you’re put in a queue with everyone else and after 45 minutes it hung up and we had to wait another 45 minutes. They were dropping someone off when we flagged them down. Took us miles from the airport. We’re now 1.5 hours in when we get there and they charge us $75 A DAY for insurance even though we have our own. They wanted $14.99 a day to add my spouse as a driver. All on top of what we’d already paid when we booked the rental. Tires were low tread, crack in windshield, and a vibration when driving the speed limit. We told them all of this when we returned the car, watched them drive the car round back, 10 minutes later, bring it back out wet and give it to the next person. Now that person is on low tread tires, and have a vibration. if I could give this negative stars I would.
Deposit not returned and scam tactics
its been almost a month, and i have not received my $250 deposit back. First, i was told i was not able to use my insurance, although i have Full Coverage. Then, was charged $800 for a "lost Key", which i eventually got refunded for thanks to picture evidence i took of leaving the key where i was told by one of their reps. Im still waiting for the deposit though. I have sent several emails, and i have received replies, probably not from this location. But keep in mind, the cheap prices you see advertised, will come at a high price during pickup and after return. Your peace of mind is at stake if you rent from Nextcar.
We got scammed
We got scammed. Do not book with them or the third party companies they use. They do not tell you what car rental company it is until after you pay therefore you have no information as to when they are open/closed etc. they take Apple Pay and according to the car rental place, they should not for security reasons. We reserved a car and they took our money not allowing us to even change it for a small error. The car rental place called it a scam and are wanting to pull their contract due to the poor customer service. Everyone we spoke to was EXTREMELY rude for absolutely no reason. So so so bad. The app I use for all of my flights, I will notify them as well to ensure they want to continue using this company. It was horrible and we are out hundreds of dollars.

Caution: Poor Customer Service and Unethical Practices
I strongly warn anyone thinking about renting from this company at Miami Airport. Our experience was incredibly stressful and disappointing, especially since we were traveling with a 4-month-old baby.
We booked and fully paid in advance through Expedia for a 7-passenger vehicle with a baby car seat. Due to a flight delay that was completely outside our control, we arrived two hours late. That shouldn’t have mattered since the car was already paid for and secured with a deposit.
But when we got there, they had given away both the car and the baby seat. No apology, no equivalent replacement. Just a smaller car that couldn’t fit our family or luggage. And we were left without a safe way to transport our baby.
We spoke to the manager, Adrian, who blamed us for being late and told us to go buy a baby seat at Walmart. After a 10-hour flight with an infant, that was their solution.
We had no choice but to take the smaller car, even though we were charged the full amount. One of our family members had to take a separate Uber over 1.5 hours to our hotel with the extra luggage. We are now submitting the Uber receipt and the baby seat cost to the company and hoping they will reimburse us. We’re not asking for anything extra, just to pay a fair price and be compensated for the extra costs they caused. Based on how we’ve been treated so far, we’re not very optimistic.
Avoid this company if you care at all about service, reliability, or basic human decency.
I only give one star because there’s no…
I only give one star because there’s no option for zero stars. This is the absolute worst company of all time in terms of customer service. They go out of their way to make sure you cannot rent a car and then charge you the full cost of the car. They also say they will pick you up from the airport after you arrive. This is where the scam starts. They will delay the pick up so that you are out of the window to get your car, then say they do not take walk ups and then charge you the full price. This company is an absolute joke! Never went with them!
Rented with Nextcar (Miami) through…
Rented with Nextcar (Miami) through Armed Forces Travel/Priceline. I should have not trusted Armed Forces and check reviews myself. All reviews are negative and I had the same experience. Nextcar made me take their insurance for $151.00 or I could rent the car. I should have walked over to the Budget counter and rented but it was late on a Sunday night and, at the time, I didn't know what to do. Hind-sight is always 20/20. Stay away from these guys please.
A total nightmare
Worst rental car experience in my life. Many hidden fees, no customer service skills. It’s a nightmare to deal with staff and management! I can only imagine what they will to tourists that don’t even speak the language! It’s a shame!
100% stay away from
100% stay away from. Hidden charges, extensive wait times (2.5 hours for us), rude employees. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Toronto Nextcar.
Customer wait one hour to get the car
Customer wait one hour to get the car, as the staff forced the customers in front of you to accept hidden cost. I have to pay more than I had planned. I will not return. I hope all the customer read the reviews before making the online reservation. Experpedia's recommmendation for this company is no good.
They tried to push additional insurance, forceful
We have a reservation for today and it was denied to get the car unless we accept a additional insurance over 700U$, but we already have the best coverage for the car available at the time we made the reservation!
Additionally, they are rough, inflexible.
