Insurance scam and paying customers for…
Insurance scam and paying customers for 5-star reviews. Stay away from Ace Rent-a-Car. The counter person used high pressure sales tactics and lies to try to get me to buy the insurance. He said I had to purchase his insurance for $250 or he would NOT rent me the car because my insurance company would not cover me in NYC. As soon as I dialed State Farm on my speaker phone at the counter, he allowed me to decline the insurance. State Farm said he was lying and that State Farm would cover me in NYC. He wanted to charge me $250 for 7 days of insurance. State Farm charges me $500 for the entire year. Ace is paying for 5-star reviews, which is prohibited by Google and Yelp. Their 4.3-star rating is over stated due to this practice. When I returned the car, the employee offered to give me 10% off on my next rental if I submitted a 5-star review in front of him and he took a picture of the 5-star review for his boss. This practice is unethical and overstates their rating. I rented my car at 8 A.M and was told my receipt would be email to me shortly. That same night at 7 P.M. I started to receive harassing emails and texts saying I didn’t return my car.
