Cheaptickets should not do business with NU Car Rental
I rented a car through Cheap Tickets and it ended up being a car from NU Car Rental. I picked up the car from the PHX location on 10/6 and had it rented until 10/21. Reservation said it was on-site but had to take the monorail to the rental car area then walk down the sidewalk to the opposite side of where the rental car companies were located and had to walk down some stairs then get into a shuttle bus and taken to a very shady part of town. I originally reserved this vehicle from Cheap Tickets and paid $662.21. I reserved a Hyundai Accent or similar Compact car. When I got to the rental car office for NU Car - I felt very pressured to hurry up and get the paperwork signed and get out of there. The rental agent kept telling me that I had a Mini Cooper Electric Vehicle rented. There was also mention of having to rent equipment to charge the car. I DID NOT reserve an electric car. The sales agent was persistent in telling me that I had an electric mini cooper rented. The sales agent mentioned I could upgrade to a gas vehicle and he had a Chevy Malibu that I would probably love. He kept mentioning that the cost would only be about $100.00 per week. He never mentioned that the $100.00 per week was IN ADDITION to the $662.21 that I had already paid for a gasoline powered car. I was thinking that he meant the price for the upgraded car was going to be around $300.00, which would be cheaper than the original price of the Hyundai Accent that I originally rented. We were made to believe we had rented an electric car - when we didn't. We were also taken advantage of by the salesperson's predatory behavior to get us to upgrade our rental. This NU Car Rental employee exhibited very predatory behavior and made false claims to us in order to get us to upgrade to a different car. He was also not very clear about the TOTAL cost for us to get a gasoline powered car (of which we did have rented). Nu Car takes advantage of weary/tired travelers and gets them to sign the paperwork authorizing additional charges.
