If you would love your car to break down on you whilst on Holidays, rent a car from these guys. Pathetic experience and pathetic customer service, the lady hangs up all the time on you when you call to explain there’s something wrong with the car?

Slechte ervaring met united in Agadir
Ik had via CarJet een nieuwe Dacia Duster geboekt bij United Rent A Car op de luchthaven van Agadir. Bij aankomst bleek dat United geen echt kantoor op de luchthaven heeft. In plaats daarvan staat er permanent een busje op de parkeerplaats dat als kantoor wordt gebruikt.
Na een wachttijd werd ik geholpen en kreeg ik niet de geboekte nieuwe Dacia Duster, maar een oude auto die in zeer slechte en slecht onderhouden staat verkeerde. Deze auto kwam totaal niet overeen met mijn reservering. Toen ik weigerde de auto te accepteren, werd ik onder druk gezet om extra te betalen voor een ander voertuig.
Deze manier van werken vind ik niet professioneel. Klanten mogen verwachten dat zij de gereserveerde auto of een gelijkwaardig voertuig in goede staat krijgen, zonder onverwachte extra kosten. Op basis van mijn ervaring kan ik United Rent A Car helaas niet aanbevelen.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations.
We would like to clarify a few points regarding your complaint.
The vehicle shown on the website is for illustrative purposes only. Reservations are made for a vehicle category, not for a brand-new vehicle or a specific model year. Therefore, while you reserved a Dacia Duster or a similar vehicle, there is no guarantee that the vehicle provided will be new.
Regarding the offer of a higher-category vehicle, it is standard practice for an upgrade to be offered with an additional charge. Please note that this was entirely optional, and you were under no obligation to accept it. You were free to decline the upgrade and proceed with the vehicle available in the category you had reserved.
We hope this clarifies the situation. Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The vehicle was returned on time and…
The vehicle was returned on time and without any damage. The company itself confirmed in writing that the vehicle was returned in proper condition and that no additional damage was found.
However, my experience became very disappointing when it came to the security deposit.
A deposit of approximately EUR 1,125 was blocked on my credit card. Although the contract refers to a release period of between 21 and 120 business days, I later discovered that the company intended to retain the deposit until the maximum contractual deadline, despite confirming that there was no damage, no claim, no fine and no pending issue.
Today, more than 55 calendar days after the vehicle was returned, the full amount remains blocked.
The company justifies this policy by referring to possible future traffic fines, parking penalties, toll charges or administrative fees. However, no explanation has been provided as to why the entire deposit must remain blocked when any such potential charge would normally represent only a small fraction of the total amount.
My concern is therefore not the existence of a security deposit, which is perfectly normal in the car rental industry. My concern is the lack of transparency regarding the practical consequences of this policy and the absence of any proportional approach once the vehicle has been returned without damage.
Future customers should be aware that a deposit exceeding EUR 1,100 may remain unavailable for up to 120 business days, which in practice corresponds to almost six calendar months.
In my opinion, this is not an acceptable customer experience and does not reflect the level of transparency and commercial fairness that customers should reasonably expect from a professional car rental company.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your experience with the security deposit.
We would like to inform you that the deposit has already been released following the return of your vehicle. If you have not yet seen the funds reflected in your account, this may be due to processing times on your bank's end.
For further clarification or to verify the status of your specific case, we kindly invite you to contact us directly so we can assist you further.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Kind regards,

Nie polecam united rent a car
Nie polecam. Oszuści. Na stronie wyszukiwarki było napisane że nie pobierają opłat z karty kredytowej, po czym na miejscu w wypożyczalni kazali płacić nam 1100 euro kaucji, co jest niewyobrażalnie wielka kwota. Do wynajmu auta nie doszło, firma robi problemy ze zwrotem pieniędzy mimo że auto nie zostało odebrane. Sprawa zgłoszona. Złodzieje i oszuści. Nie odpisują na maile.

Trouble recovering deposit, unclear policy and unfair fees
I have used this rental operation twice at the same location (3961 NW 26th St, Miami), which operates under multiple booking names including Florida Premium Rentacar, MOVIS, and United Rent a Car.
On the first booking, I arrived only a few minutes late and was told the reservation had been cancelled. I was informed I would be charged a $300 “no-show” fee with no flexibility, despite being on site shortly after the scheduled time. I was told this was due to broker terms. I later checked with the broker, who stated the final policy is set by the rental provider. I had to book another car elsewhere and lost the original payment.
On the second occasion, I booked through a different brand but was again directed to the same operation. I had specifically opted out of the SunPass/toll package at the time of booking, however on arrival I was told it could not be removed. After dispute, I was eventually allowed to opt out only after providing a $2,000 security deposit. Combined with earlier hold, over $4,000 was temporarily held on my card.
Although the contract stated that deposits would be released within 30 days of return, this did not happen and required repeated follow-ups. The delay also resulted in my credit card being charged interest due to the extended hold period.
Overall, my experience involved strict cancellation enforcement, inconsistent application of agreed booking terms, high security deposits, and delays in returning funds.
