Looking at renting at Fox at JFK because they have very cheap rates. Can anyone share their experience here? They have terrible reviews...
I've used them (not in jfk). You'll get a car, service is terrible.

I’ve used them in LAX. They are horrible. Gave me wrong car size than I ordered. (Smaller and lower class) Tried returning and just renting from hertz but they charged me either way for it.
These bad reviews that you see on google aren’t lies.

Used them at TPA a few weeks ago, no issues.

They will try to upsell more than any other place I’ve rented from, though car itself was good and cheap.

No. It was late at night and I had my family with me. Reserved a big suv but they didn’t have that specific class. (They has bigger ones but they wouldn’t give) I tried fighting it for a little but I had to get out of there.
Once I got the kids to bed I found hertz had the car I needed. I went back to LAX that same night and dropped the car off and took the other one from hertz.

FTFY

Once you left the lot you started the rental contract.

How much of the rental did they charge you for? 1 day (assuming it wasn’t a prepaid rental) or more?

No- I didn’t realize in middle of driving
They tried charging me for the full rental. Disputed most of it but still got charged 1 day and an early return fee.

Finding cars for the half the price with Fox, trying to figure out if its worth it.

i was planning to rent from them this summer so i did alot of research, this is what i came out with.

they are the cheapest (not by much tho, only about $50 cheaper per week than budget or others)
but you run the risk of additional charges unscrupulously being tacked on or being conned into insurance that you dont want (if they say sign here, make sure to check which boxes are marked off and what you are signing/initialing)

based on the reviews ive read, certain locations are pretty bad (hidden/false charges, rude employees, reserved car not available, no one to speak to) but others are ok. they usually have decent late model cars. so basically, do your research on your location and im sure a ddf'er can navigate fox car rental

I guess it depends mostly on location, I never used them, a family member did a few times and had no issues.

Anyone have any experience with the Denver Airport Branch of Fox?
