Ace/Fox/Economy Rental Car Advice

[Avs175]

Hi,

I want to rent a car from JFK and Ace/Fox/Economy all offer rates that are hundreds of dollars less then the major companies.

Anyone have any experience with these companies? Should I avoid them? Thanks

Just rented with Economy in MCO no issues. Though they had this annoying policy of verifying that I have car insurance so took longer than I would have liked.

Thank You!

i've always made a backup reservation w the big companies, but the few times that I have used the off-brands they were ok (car selection wasnt as good, and it took longer)

Is that a policy of theirs (FOX), requiring verification of car insurance coverage?
Does that apply even if you have credit card that covers car rental insurance?

CC covers damage to the car, not liability. Your regular us insurance policy covers you for liability wherever you are in the US. The ones that ask for proof are just doing it to hopefully con a few more people into paying for insurance. I had that at Easirent MCO as well, had prepared since I read about that in advance, so was not an issue.

in most states the car rental company is required by law to carry minimum liability insurance and it's already included in the rate most of the time. VA & NH are the only states that don't require iirc

I've never rented from FLL but I have in another location and while significantly cheaper, there is absolutely 0 customer service so have to hope nothing goes wrong

I made a car rental reservation for my friend under at Ace JFK they denied him based on his credit report that he ran with his license number. Is there such a thing?

Anyone have a decent experience with Economy Car Rental in MIA.
Recent Google reviews are pretty bad but they have great prices on Priceline.

Yes. Shlep and off brand but was very very cheap when I used them.

Thanks!
What was the shlep? Did they force you to buy insurance from them on top of cc insurance, as seen in multiple reviews?

Getting from the terminal to the location.

Recently had a similar experience. Very long lines and somewhat rude reps. Next time I would probably pay the extra $50 for my two day rental but for a few hundred I would probably subject myself to this.
