Picked up in ****. Thing had cockroaches, came with broken freezer, table and the shower drained into my cargo. The Leasing manager had the audacity to ask me if I had kept the cockroaches we killed :) I've emailed the customer relations about getting some sort of compensation for not having a working shower and I've yet to hear anything.

Unsafe, Unsanitary, and *********** wife and our 9 week old baby rented from this location expecting a great vacation. What we got instead was the worst rental experience of my life that put my entire safety at risk through their negligence.First and foremost, they sent us out with no brake fluid. What rental company rents a vehicle without adequately inspecting its brakes? This should be illegal as it not only put my familys lives at risk but that of everyone else on the road.Maybe just one oversight? No they sent us out with a bad battery so we could not run any of the amenities we paid for without a full hookup site. The monitor to check batter/water levels didn't work. They also sent us out with full black and gray water tanks so I got to begin my vacation by flushing out someone else's poo and cleaning the shower that had flooded with gray water the first time we went up a hill. Funny that they would charge your for returning it full but accept no responsibility for sending it out full. Is that all? No their customer service team repeatedly told us they would look into service options and call us back only to often never call back. When we call back, I find they are all part time staff from a third party company who rotate shifts without passing along notes. So.. basically wasted hours upon hours trying to get basic issues resolved with their outsourced support line. When I finally did have to extend the rental, due to the many troubleshooting stops we had to make, they told me they could not because it was grounded for being past its service life. They knew how many miles we were going and still rented us a vehicle that would exceed its service range. There are lots of private RV rental services out there. If you are selecting cruise America because you trust their service, support, or reputation - don't. Its unsafe, unsanitary, and very clear that they have 0 concern for their clients.Cruise America Inc

Family paid deposit to rent RV. Their machines were unable to read the card (but somehow were able to charge it for the deposit), so they were unable to rent the RV.They still charged the card. They offered a $300 credit, which does nothing for this family. Disappointing. We wanted to start using them to travel the ** and dont want to now due to this customer service.Cruise America Inc

We initially had 4 different Cruise America sales people tell us that the reservation fee of $300 would be refunded. Never saw the refund and when I asked about it, I was told it's non-refundable. We asked specifically (4 times!) if that would be refunded, and were told yes, so there was no misunderstanding on our part. We were purposely misled. We were also never told of all the additional fees we would have upon returning the ** (over $200 worth of extra fees). These fees were never even mentioned beforehand. We went on a ******************* June, and from the very first day had problems with the generator. We were in 90 degree heat most of the time, with 3 young children, so we needed AC. We called customer service and they only wanted us to find a cruise america service center and drive to it, way out of our way. And schedule it to be serviced. We spent hours just working on the generator, on a vacation that we spent a lot of money to go on. When I asked for compensation for the issues we had, they simply refunded us for 1 night fee. The thing didn't work half the time! So when I made an issue about it, they added enough to make the compensation refund equal the generator hours only. A whooping $175 for 10 days of frustration. On top of this, we received the thing quite dirty. We definitly returned it cleaner than we got it. They need to learn to treat their customers with respect and they may get that back in return. Until then, I give them a 0/5. We will never do business with them again. They are sneaky and not afraid to lie to your face just to get more money out of you.Cruise America Inc

Horrible experience renting from Cruise America. if I could give them 0/5 stars I would. Not only did our RV have a flat tire prior to even driving off with the *** the managers insisted we drive off on it. If I hadnt demanded for the head Manager /mechanic to take a look at the flat before we left we would have been driving on flats! In addition to that, we had problems with the generator AC and refrigerator. None of which worked properly. I wrote a email toCustomer relations. No one has reached out to me. I was charged over ***** for the worst RV. Stay away from this company as they do not care about you, they just want to nickel and dime you to death, only for them to not take accountability for their sub par fleets!Cruise America Inc

I am writing to report issues with your ** rental service during my recent trip to *****************. I am a resident of ****** and traveled with my family, including my wife and my daughter, who turned one year old during the trip. The purpose of the trip was to celebrate my daughter's birthday, but our experience with the ** rental was disappointing Upon arriving on the scheduled day for vehicle pick-up, I was surprised to learn that I needed an appointment for the pick-up. We had just arrived from a 12hour flight from ******** to ***********, and upon arriving at 10am, I was informed that I needed a scheduled time slot beforehand. Since this was not done, we were placed on a waiting list, and the vehicle pick-up was delayed until after 2 p.m. on a Sunday I consider this procedure flawed because the need for a scheduled pick-up time should be clearly communicated at booking and allow scheduling through the website. Additionally, the lack of consideration for my tired daughter was frustrating The employee who attended to us was eating lunch while providing service, which I find extremely disrespectful. The vehicle pick-up, supposed to occur at 2p.m., was completed at 3p.m. Despite this, we were treated unequally as other families were served and released before us, even though they had not scheduled a pick-up time Upon receiving the motorhome, we encountered issues: damaged hoses missing seals, and had to be replaced. The motorhome was dirty, with dust, the dining table could not be used as a bed, and various cabinets had damaged doors. These problems should have been addressed before delivering the vehicle The experience with the motorhome rental was very frustrating and stressful, especially as it was such a special and anticipated moment for my family. We expected quality service providing us peace of mind and comfort, but what we received was the opposite I request that your company take measures to prevent other customers from going through the same situationCruise America Inc

We picked up a broken/ dirty ** from ********, ** and drove it to our home in ********, **. The ** has a TPMS warning light come on the dash when started. We plugged the ** into shore power and discovered the ** would run for a little while and then freeze over. I contacted them and they arranged a local ** site to run diagnostics on it. The site looked at it and discovered the ** had never been serviced and it needed to be cleaned. While the company was servicing the ** they noticed a hole in the roof near the drivers rear corner the size of a quarter. The company approved the ** service and after 3 hours I was headed back to my house to clean and pack the ** for a fresh start the next morning. I turned on the Frig in preparation for filling it for our voyage. Then we spent 7 hours cleaning the outside and inside of the unit before we moved our stuff in. The following morning I went out to the ** to make sure the frig was cool and the ** was working and neither was operational. The frig was warmer than the ** and the ** was frozen over. I called them back and requested we take it back to another bigger local ** dealer and they approved. The dealership was authorized to diagnose the ** and the Frig. The ** has a leak and the frig has a wiring issue. The ** dealership wrote up a quote and proceeded to leave us sitting there for the next 6 and a half hours refusing the quote to replace the frig and ** they just happen to have on the shelf. What are the chances you pull into a repair center and they have the licensed techs and parts to get you on the road that day. This company requested that we drive this ** to another state where they could possibly have a unit available or someone that could fix it cheaper. I don't know about you but my idea of a vacation is not getting a rental ** repaired. This whole experience has become a complete nightmare. I'm just glad I'm not stuck on the side of the road in nowhere ***** without ** and a cooler full of food going badCruise America Inc

Hello Carm,Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are terribly sorry your experience was less than perfect. We regret you received a dirty unit and that you had to go in for service for the fridge and one of the two air conditioners during your rental. We also regret reading that you were able to find a repair shop willing to do the work, but it wasn't approved. Its hard to say what the reasoning behind this was because we dont have the necessary details to do a thorough investigation off of your review. Please contact our ***************************** via email at ***************************** and we will get to the bottom of this. We look forward to hearing from you.Review fromMichelle P

BEWARE. the one in ********* Texas will nickel and dime you to death before you rent an RV and after you drop off. If you opt not to purchase an additional item, they WILL find a way to make you pay. Their practices are why we should stay away from places like them.Cruise America Inc
