Do not rent with ACE!!!!

Online the price was $98 without tax I get there and they don’t have the vehicle so basically they upgraded me and I had to pay for the upgrade then they forced you to get insurance. I paid that too. My total was 460 for three days. I leave the place I catch a flat tire I pay to get that repaired and when I get back, I explained that to them and they tell me it’s not covered by their insurance. It is my responsibility and charge me another $296. The receipt had all these fees that no one ever told me about. I contact them they gave me another person to contact Dave Cook who is another scammer! My husband is a mechanic and this man tried to tell me that the tire isn’t repairable meanwhile I drove the vehicle for the remaining 2 days after I rented it with no issue. This company is a SCAM they rent you a vehicle force insurance on you and the insurance doesn’t cover anything at all!!!! Save your money and rent somewhere else! I wish I had read these reviews sooner!

Horrible experience being charged after we checked out car. At check out we were told car is all ok, only to be charged around £500 few days later for damage. BTW the damage were dots looking like dirt, that were not brought to our attention on check out and were also present on photos from previous user. This is not an honest company. Looks like we will need to go through credit card company. Waste of time and unnecessary stress and frustration! DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM.

Hello ACE Customer,
Thank you for sharing your experience at our Merida location. I understand it can be frustrating to encounter unexpected charges. We strive to make these policies as clear as possible. All insurance requirements are outlined in our terms and conditions, both on our website and at the time of booking. For this location, it states in our policies that Mexican insurance is required for all vehicles, including rental vehicles. U.S. automobile liability insurance is not valid in Mexico, nor is most collision and comprehensive coverage issued by U.S. companies. If you would like for us to review your reservation details, please reach out to us at customercare@acerentacar.com with the details of your reservation. -Emily

Hello William,
Thank you for sharing your experience at our Brooklyn, 4th Avenue location. I understand how frustrating it can be to experience unexpected fees. We strive to make sure customers know our policies by providing them at the time of booking, in the confirmation email, as well as on our website. These policies show the geographical restrictions for the selected location. Traveling outside these restrictions would result in additional fees. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at customercare@acerentacar.com. -Emily

DO NOT RENT from this company

DO NOT RENT from this company these people never returned the 200 dollar safety deposit they charged from my credit card when I rented from them. I returned my car and waited 2 weeks to get my safety deposit returned it never happened. I called and they said it would be sent in the next few days again the money was not returned. When I contacted customer service they told me it said on their records they had returned the money and they had nothing to with the reason it was not reflected on my credit card they claimed it was the banks problem and they couldn't do anything about it. I contacted the bank and they went statement through statement with me and there was NO return from ACE. Thanks ACE for not returning my money! Beware of these people better to pay a bit more with a more reputable company. Horrible experience even worse customer service

Hello Steven,
I appreciate you sharing your concerns at our Orlando location. I understand how frustrating it can be to not receive your deposit back, and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify the deposit process. I have reviewed your reservation and can confirm that the deposit has been released from our system. The deposit is placed as an authorization hold, not a completed charge. This means the funds are temporarily reserved by your bank but are not collected by ACE. As long as there are no additional charges, such as for damage, fuel, tolls, or fees, the hold is released once the rental is closed. After the release, your bank removes the pending authorization and restores the funds to your available balance. The timing of this process depends on your bank’s internal processing. Because the funds were never captured, you will not see a refund transaction for the deposit, but you also will no longer see the deposit being taken out. The pending authorization will simply disappear from your statement. The release itself is handled directly by your bank. If the pending transaction is still showing, please reach out to us at customercare@acerentacar.com and we can provide a transaction/ authorization number for your bank to directly track the release. -Emily
