NEVER RENT FROM THIS SCAM COMPANY!
NEVER RENT FROM THIS SCAM COMPANY!! We booked a car with advanced website confirmed payment of $80 US dollars. When we arrived at their counter to pick-up the car, we were told by their rather uninterested clerk the total would be $189, thus having to pay extra for mandatory insurance. When inquiring why, they plainly replied that prices on their website does not represent reality!!! PLEASE do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. THEIR FALSE REPRESENTATION IS TO LURE YOU IN!!

Nu Rentals Positive Experience!
Edhi Lima was extremely professional and a great representative of Nu Rentals. She went above and beyond to make our experience of picking up and dropping off our rental vehicle first class. Everything was extremely smooth!

Avoid at all costs. They scam you
Avoid at all costs.
They scam you badly and provide shockingly terrible vehicles.
In my case there was no office at the pick up location. I called them and they brought me in a so called office (horrible place with a tiny desk and space for no more than one client).
Once I tried to leave a deposit on my credit card they told me that the card was not working. I gave them another one and they told me that was not working either. I called my two banks and both told me that there was absolutely no problem with my 2 cards.
They asked for 3 time more than what I had already paid to reduce the deposit and allow me to kake the vehicle.
Whilst I was calling my banks a customer after me had exactly the same problem.
The vehicle was all damaged on the outside and fumes entering the seating area when driving.
I had 3 children with me and we add to drive for 8 hours. And being in Morocco I had no other option than progressing despite it all.
---- After 2 months they have now reached me asking for some information. No compensation, no remedial action, huge delays in noticing the review and reaching me. Continued horrible experience.

WORST RENTAL CAR COMPANY EVER!
WORST RENTAL CAR COMPANY EVER!
Rented from these guys 3 weeks ago. Tried to pressure us in to using their mandatory toll system. Total scam. Would have added $250. Pressure to use their overpriced insurance. Another hassle to show them we were insured already. Vehicle was very old (50,000 miles). Oldest I have ever seen for a rental. The sun visor fell off multiple times in traffic. Very poor service at pick up and drop off. Was a big hassle to get anyone to find the vehicle, look over the van and inspect on drop off.
AVOID THIS PLACE.

Stay as far away from this company as…
Stay as far away from this company as possible. They are running a textbook predatory scam.
I arrived with a perfectly valid credit card for the security deposit—the same card I used without a single issue at another rental agency and various shops the exact same day. However, their machine miraculously 'had no connection' or 'refused the transaction.'
This is a blatant lie and a forced-sales tactic. They intentionally use faulty terminals (or fake connectivity issues) to claim your card is rejected so they can force you into buying their 'premium' insurance at an astronomical daily rate. If you don't pay their ransom, they won't give you the car, and you’re left stranded.
It is a dishonest, calculated maneuver to exploit travelers. They aren't in the business of renting cars; they are in the business of intimidation and credit card fraud.

Please do not use this rental company
Please do not use this rental company. I just had a horrible experience with them regarding the extra charges on the rental agreement that were never explained to me. And the underhanded way they get you to pay $400 for insurance. My original rental price was $76.95. Final cost $481.55 Plus the $400 for the insurance, the cost of which was never revealed to me. $841.55. That's a lot higher than $76.95 for 3 days. I'm a nobody, but I'll tell everyone I know not to use this company. Maybe this will save one person from going through what I'm going through.

Naoufal and the whole Agadir team were amazing!
Naoufal and the whole Agadir team were amazing—very transparent and incredibly helpful. They were flexible with my payment methods, especially since my Argentine credit card didn’t work. They stayed with me at the airport until everything was sorted out, which I really appreciated. Super kind and supportive. Thank you so much for everything—hope to see you again soon!

won’t make that mistake again
Well,
much like other's complaints ,, they definitely try to whistle past the graveyard as you initial for extra fees, but i’m not sure it’s a whole lot worse than other rental experiences i’ve had.
pretty simple. if you wanna wait for a train, then wait for a shuttle, then 10 minutes to the ghetto of Phoenix, and wait in line for 20 -40 minutes to save MAYBE $100, then this is a good place to go

Scandless and unethical company
Scandless and unethical company. They rent you a car then transfer it to another company amd then transfer to another. Needed up at u-save in Tampa. Forcing people into buying insurance or having g to put a $2000.00 deposit on the car. So if ypu don't have a limit like that you're forced to but insurance. I sat there while they scammed three people in front of me and then I said wow this seems scandleless. Then the lady kicked me out and refused to rent me a car. No refund nothing.
Thanks for your response. To all who read this. They did not refund me. I disputed this with my credit card company and they were unsuccessful because the have a no refund no one cares or gives a S policy.

Terribly overpriced with hidden fees!!
Terribly overpriced with hidden fees!!! We will never be renting from this car rental again. When we asked more questions and pushed back a little on what the staff was saying (shouldn't this be our right as customers!!) we were then told that they will not rent a vehicle to us. Another person in our party had to do a separate rental because our party of 8 was now stranded!!!! In the end we paid 3x what we should have!!!! NEVER RENT FROM NU CAR RENTALS!!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. HORRIBLE PRICES AND SOOOOOO MANY HIDDEN FEES!!!

Just where are the shuttle buses
There was construction out at the airport and it was not very clear where shuttle pick-up was. I was concerned that I would be late for my car reservation and was not sure I was in the right area. I called NU and got Adeel. He assured me that my reservation would be good and confirmed the location of the shuttle bus. He even followed up with me to make sure I was on the bus and enroute. He was kind courteous and proactive to my situation. My vehicle was also upgraded to my surprise!
His professionalism is greatly appreciated!

Not great. Not cheaper.
Well, booked in Expedia. It looked significantly lower than the other rental companies. There are additional steps to take to get to the car rental place, including a shuttle. Annoying. Ok if it's $200 cheaper than the others... great. guess what? It's not cheaper. The ending invoice I thought and was told I'd get my deposit back on, I'm not getting. It is literally the same price as the others and the others do not have all the annoying hoops to jump through. Book at the places at the car rental place, not this place.

My car needed servicingNu car rental so…
My car needed servicing, so I booked with Nu car rental online, only because the price was right. I paid in advanced. However when I arrived tp pick up the vehicle, I could already tell the Latino man at the front desk was a racist, just by the way he greeted us. We rented a simple compact car with no bells or whistles. Just to get around until my car was repaired. The front service man told us we had to pay a 2 thousand security deposit before renting. Making it difficult for us. I told him I have rented in the past & never heard such requirements. If you do not want to be racially discriminated upon & unfairly treated. DO NOT rent any vehicles from this company!! Terrible buisness pratice. Depending on what you look like is how you are charged a security deposit!!

Awful
Awful. Slow and not very upfront with additional fees. Worse than buying a new car. And so far on the other side of town from the airport. Avoid at all costs.

Don’t rent from Nu
Oh my god I wish I had read these reviews before renting! This rental company closes at 7 pm, so if your flight is delayed, you’re out of luck. I ended paying twice as much with over costs, than I would have if I rented with a credible company. The old adage is true, If It looks to good to be true….

Horrible company
Horrible company. They charge hidden fees for adding supplemental insurance and prepaid fuel. They don't tell you that you have to pay several additional taxes and fees that you already paid for the car rental. Also, customer service was not good. Avoid this company like the plague. To the one positive comment that said ignore the outdated negative comments lol, this issue happened on 4/19/2026!

New car rentals has misleading prices…
New car rentals has misleading prices pushed insurance sales pushed toll sales they quoted me 2299 for an extension and as I went to pay it didn't let me get in one of the managers said that that price was incorrect it was $44.99 in which I explained to him that I was going to give him an evaluation on this matter business he acted if though he didn't care when I finished talking to him he said $44.99 and if I didn't want to pay that for me to bring the car back and forget about it and without that was very unprofessional of the stipulations where you can't drive the car out of state and you are the only one that can drive the vehicle being told this after rental I thought was insane their prices are very misleading if you are thinking about renting from new car rental think twice if I had the option again new car rental would not be my choice.
