I rented a car on July, received two tickets for $50 each for driving in a bus lane. They used my credit card to pay
the fine plus the charged me $100 administrative fees.
when I called to question the fees , no one speaks proper english, the just ignore me, they are terrible and a total RIPOFF.I will never rent with them again.

I had a very disappointing experience…
I had a very disappointing experience with Drivo.
When I made my reservation online, I declined the insurance option because I planned to use my credit card’s rental car coverage. At no point during the booking process was it clearly stated or properly warned that I was required to have my own personal auto insurance policy in order to rent the vehicle. This is important information that should be clearly disclosed before allowing customers to complete and prepay a reservation.
Another issue is the cancellation fee. When you prepay for a reservation, the website does not make it clear that a $150 fee will be charged if you cancel. Customers should be made fully aware of such a significant cancellation penalty before paying.
The customer service experience was also frustrating. When I contacted them with straightforward questions about whether I could rent the car without a personal insurance policy, I could not get a clear yes or no answer. The responses were always things like “maybe,” “might,” or “it depends.” If a customer is asking whether they meet the requirements to rent a vehicle, the company should be able to provide a clear and definitive answer.
Overall, I feel that important terms were not clearly communicated during the booking process, and the customer service was unable to provide clear answers when I needed clarification. I would not recommend Drivo based on my experience.

Worst experience
I usually don’t write reviews, but my experience with Drivo at JFK was so frustrating and disastrous that I felt compelled to share it.
Renting from Drivo was honestly one of the worst decisions I have ever made. Even more than two weeks after returning the car, they are still charging me for various unexplained services and fees. Once you swipe your card, it feels like you have somehow agreed to charges you were never clearly informed about. There is no proper upfront breakdown or transparency about these charges.
The customer service experience has been equally terrible. When I call to question the charges, the representatives are rude and keep giving generic, scripted answers instead of actually addressing the issue. They don’t provide a proper breakdown immediately. Instead, you are told to wait 24 hours, and if you still don’t receive the information, you have to call again and start the process all over.
But the worst part of the experience happened when we returned the car. After returning the vehicle, we were forced to wait more than 30–40 minutes for their shuttle/drop-off van to take us back to JFK airport. That delay caused us to miss our flight. As a result, we had to spend the entire night at the airport and take the next day’s flight.
A rental car company should make the entire process easy and predictable, especially when operating at an airport. Instead, this experience created unnecessary stress, additional expenses, and ultimately caused us to miss our flight.
This was one of the worst rental car experiences of my life. My strongest recommendation is: DO NOT USE DRIVO. Better to walk, crawl, take public transportation, or even cancel your trip than deal with this company.
Never again, Drivo.

Attention: frais supplémentaires exorbitants !!!
Lorsque j’ai récupéré ma voiture, on m’a fait payé 2600dh en supplément me disant que j’ai une carte de débit qui ne permet pas la caution. Or, ils ont bien pris 200€ avec cette même carte pour la caution! On m’a fait croire qu’avec une réclamation je pouvais me faire rembourser mais il n’en est rien. On me renvoie de service en service sans aucune info, ni justificatif et encore moins de remboursement! C’est honteux et pas professionnel du tout.
Est-ce que des personnes ont pu se faire rembourser ?

This company is the worst
This company is the worst, DO NOT RENT FROM HERE! First off they forced us at the front desk when we were picking up the car to go online and leave a "positive review" in order to get the car (that should have tipped us off as to what we were in for)! After we turned the car in, what they didn't tell us was that they were going to hold a $200 "security deposit" on my card and that after 21 days I could call them and get it back (this was supposedly to cover and tolls that we may have incurred). Mind you, they dont tell you this, I had to disscover this on my own! The really criminal thing though is that it is up to me to call them 21 days after my rental was over otherwise they keep the money! To make matters worse, I called them 21 days later and they then told me it was 21 "business days" and weekend days don't count! This is absolutely absurd and should be illegal. Once again, it was up to me to call them back to request the refund because no longer was it a hold on my card, it was an actual charge! I wonder how much money they make from this scam because so many folks dont even realize that they charged their card for both the rental and the security deposit as separatecharges. I hope this review either puts them out of business or changes this practice because it is not right on any level!

I wish I could give ACE / Drivo ZERO…
I wish I could give ACE / Drivo ZERO stars!!! They are HORRIBLE…don’t rent from them!!! They advertise low prices if you prepay for your car rental but when you get there, they REFUSE to accept your car insurance and force you to buy theirs or you lose your car rental. I have NEVER had other car rental places refuse to accept my car insurance…this was the first time EVER. So I had to pay close to $300 extra. In my opinion, this is a big SCAM. Classic car rental bait & switch.

Drivo à Tanger , Rabat et Agadir
J'ai loué plusieurs fois chez Drivo à Tanger et Rabat et dernièrement aussi à Agadir. Sincèrement, c'est un très bon rapport qualité Prix. la caution n'est pas exagérée et le personnel est très professionnel. pas d'arnaque, pas de surprise.
Merci à Nada à Tanger, à Amine à Rabat et à Redouane à Agadir pour leur service et leur gentillesse. ils étaient disponibles, à l'heure au pick up et au dépôt de la voiture et surtout souriants. je recommande Drivo.
