      I rented a car from ACE *** on 10/5/22-10/8/22 while visiting **********. After returning the car I received no further communication from ACE whatsoever. On 11/21/22 I received an email from a company called CVM (citation violation management) requesting me to pay a toll charge of $59 on behalf of ACE. There was no attempts made by ACE to collect any toll charge from me prior to this. I contacted both ACE and CVM to ask for a breakdown of the charges and why I was never contacted to pay the toll in the first place. Neither of which could be answered by either company. Its clear that this system allows CVM to collect fees from ACE customers as a profit leaving them no recourse!

      Hi, 


      We thank you for reaching out to us through the BBB. As stated previously in our correspondence that within your signed contract you agree to pay all tolls that occur during your rental. Unfortunately, their is nothing further that can be done with this. As this was stated in the signed rental contract.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 


      [Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]

      I was more than happy to pay for the toll charge I incurred but I was never informed of it by ACE and it was already paid by them anyway according to the ********** tollway.  The fact that I was never informed prior to them paying it means there is a concerted effort on their part to make a profit off customers by charging exorbitant fees after the fact.

      I had a reservation for a car for 2 days, costing $100. I made my reservation, and upon getting this car, the agent informed me that the car had a 100 mile radius for driving, and wed need to purchase the unlimited mileage package for driving greater than ****************************************** the contract and the reservation agreement. Bait and switch gimmicks like this are unacceptable, and we left frustrated. Id like a credit towards this reservation and for action to be taken on predatory behavior like this.

      Hello,

       

      The mileage restrictions is stated within the terms and conditions within the booking information as well as the ACE Rent A Car website. This restriction is for local renters. From what I show the rental was never used so their is nothing to refund on our end.

      As a ******** renting a Car in ******* through Kayak/Qeeq.com/ACE in ********** for a ****** Kicks or similar (they said they didnt have it so gave me a Jeep smelling of MJ and low tire warning) along with waiting over an hour I met a person via a monitor so that I may pick up the vehicle without further delay.Monday, December 5, 2022, 12:00 PM ******************************************************************************************************************************* Monday, December 12, 2022, 9:00 AM ******************************************************************************************************************************* Told them specifically I did not want any upgraded insurance as I have purchased it online ($119.92 CAD) He said so you just want the standard to which I replied yes. The cost of the vehicle for the 7 days was $224.59.I was very shocked to see two deductions for a total of $797.94 CAD when the agreed to online price was $224.59 + $119.92 for a total of $344.60. In speaking with Qeeq they stated I took further car insurance but here is their statement when I booked "Since the package you chose didn't include Collision Damage Waiver and Theft Waiver, you would need to present your own insurance or purchase at the counter. If you need any assistance, please kindly feel free to contact with us and send us related documents." followed by their new statement "And they replied us that you were charged extra for Renter Liability Waiver and Roadside Assistance Protection, and corresponding tax and surcharge. The total amount for extra insurance is USD324.15. The final invoice is attached. The amount charged by the rental location is in USD."I have been deducted $453.43 (CAD) by Ace Rent a Car ond Dec. 12 I have been deducted $224.59 (CAD) by Qeeq, ****** on Dec. 10 I have been deducted $119.92 (CAD) by Allianz Global Assistance, Cabridge on Dec. 5 2022.These number do not add up for a car rental of 7 days. I rented for $224.59 (CAD) plus $119.92 (CAD) for the Insurance by Allianze Global.The total of 1 + 2 + 3 comes to $797.94 (CAD) My agreement was to pay for $344.60 (CAD)Why have I been chared $453.34 (CAD) over to that in which I agreed to pay for the rental and insurance?$797.94 - $344.60 = $453.34 (CAD) that has been taken from my **** as Extra.

      I reserved a Mid-size SUV for $381.83 for 10 days and received an ACE confirmation number ENV13634000 for the booking. When I go to the counter, they told me they did not have the Mid-size SUV I reserved and only had a downgrade of a small sedan car or upgrade for a full size SUV. The full size SUV would be about $200 more and the downgrade would be the same price. I could not afford the upgrade and had to go with the downgrade since I could not cancel on the pick-up date. I do not see how they can justify not reserving my desired car and then charge me the same price for the downgrade. It was all around a terrible experience.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this response/resolution is satisfactory to me. 

      They posted a refund back onto the credit card for the fake charge of a fuel fill up. The fact that this has happened to so many people is reason enough to never rent through them. This is not an every now and then problem, but rather a reoccurring scam. I shouldnt have to take extra time to correct their scam and make sure I dont get a scam fee for a fake fuel fill up when it was fill to the top before dropping back off.

      On the evening of November the 17th of this year I flew into ***** on a vacation. I went to pick up a rental car which was a ****** Carolla at ace rent a car at the ***** Airport. One of the item I had to pay for the rental car was a security deposit. The representative at ace rental car said I would get in back in a refund for the deposit. After my vacation was done and I return the rental car back to ace rent a car on November the 22nd, I've checked my bank account for the security deposit and was never refunded to my bank account. I've called ace rent a car at the ***** Airport recently and was to the refundcwas indicated already but still haven't received my refund. The booking confirmation is EXS13456846.

      Your final total for the rental was $659.31 which was explained when we sent your receipt over. This was not a deposit this was for the total cost of your rental. Their is nothing that needs refunded. You were charged correctly.

      I booked a rental car for a total of $324.75 in advance. On Nov 2, 2022 when picking up the car, the front desk asked about insurance that I declined by presenting my insurance, charged additional tolling fee, told me to sign on a small device (similar to those on grocery store), handed me the key and the agreement including a checkout slip, and then told me "go to the *** parking area, click the key and you will find your car. There was no attendant there so I did a work-around and saw a few scratches. The car was parked so close to another car on the left, its side mirror folded in, I had to walk side-way to squeeze in and drive the car. Later when arrived at the hotel, we noticed a dent on the driver-side like the car was hit by something. The dent is small and less visible than the scratches on the car and it cannot be seen when one stands close to the car. I realized at that time why the car was parked so close to the car on the left*** doesnt want me to see the dent. On Nov 9, when returning the car, I told the attendant about the dent and scratches. He walked around, agreed that the dent was there and they didnt **** that kind of scratches and the dent, so he ****ed Full (for gas tank) on the checkout slip (attached), handed it back to me, and took the car key. We left. On Nov 18 I received a call from my insurance and an email from Rockport Auto Claims about rental damage claim. I explained to both what happened. I also wrote emails to ***************************** trying to resolve the issue.On Dec 2, Rockport Auto Claims sent me a bill of $5,887.97.Complaint:1) I didn't damage the car so I am not responsible for the claimed costs 2) *** and Rockport Auto Claims refused to send me any photos of the damage 3) *** has committed fraud by hiding the existing dent and by filing rental damage claim even though the on-site attendant agreed the dent was there before I took the car.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 

      I have attached the bill of $5,887.91 from Rockport Auto Claims, which says "ACE Rent A Car has asked that RockPort Auto Claims pursue this claim!" My complaint is that I didn't damage the car and the checkout slip (also attached) proves that: 1) I didn't see the small dent on the car because ACE parked the car in the way that I couldn't see it; 2) when returning the car, the attendant checked the car and agreed that the dent was there before I took it. He ****ed "FULL" on the slip but didn't **** any new damages. 

      I don't know the relationship between Rockport Auto Claims and ACE, but ACE should never asked Rockport to contact me or to send me the bill. 

      In addition, ACE also charged additional $200 on my credit card and forged a Customer Invoice on 11/28/2022 to fool my credit card. If there was a new damage to the car at the time when I returned the car, they should have told me about $200 charge, give me the invoice to sign, and record specific damage on the checkout slip. They didn't do any because the attendant agreed the dent was there and is too small to **** on the checkout slip.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 

      The merchant's response simply demonstrates its fraudulent business practice again: They wrongly accused me for damaging the car without any evidence and they submitted the claim to their insurance--Rockport Auto Claims. They want me to talk to Pockport Auto Claims, I did! And Pockport Auto Claim did talk to the merchant. But the merchant refused to accept the responsibility for their car damage nor provide any evidence that I did the damage. 

      The resolution I want for this claim is that the merchant to accept the responsibility and tell their insurance that it is the merchant's responsibility for the damage. 

      In addition, my credit card forwarded a customer invoice received from the merchant (attached). It is clearly a forged one so it is another fraud committed by the merchant: They didn't tell me anything about the car damage at the time of returning the car and they didn't charge me anything at that time (the full rental was paid at the time of pickup). They charged my credit card on Nov 9th and Nov 10th for $146.56 and $53.44 separately, without my permission, and made a fake a Customer Invoice on Nov 28 when my card insurance contact the merchant.

Quite apart from the fact that $754.35 divided by $0.39 gives far more miles than we actually drove (**** vs ****), we do not believe that we should have been charged at all that out-of-state fee. We are asking for a refund on our credit card.More in detail, when both of us signed the contract, the desk clerk reviewed for us what we were signing, item by item on the left-hand side of the contract, starting with optional collision damage waiver and ending with unpaid ticket violations, at the bottom. We then signed the contract. Our key contention is that she DID NOT MENTION OR ALLUDE TO the Geographic Restrictions box; had she done so, we both would have immediately objected (we were both going over the contract with her), and specified lower-range car (e.g., a ****** Versa) to avoid a huge charge, since we were driving to ******** and back. Either through design or negligence, she did not draw our attention to that policy. Granted, we signed the contract, and that box is clearly in the contract. Our response is that in drawing our attention so thoroughly to the SIX other policies, pointing to each with her finger, the clerk effectively (perhaps by design) **** our attention away from the out-of-state charge section. We contend that that vitiates our examination of, and consent to, the contract.

      Hello, 

      Thank you for reaching out. The geographic restriction is listed within our terms and conditions prior to booking. This is listed at time of booking and on our website policies. Unfortunately, their isn't anything that can be done with this charge. 

       

      Kind regards,

      As stated in our complaint, the ACE agent's actions effectively(physically) concealed that section of the contract from our examination, and therefore we were directed away from that section as we signed. She verbally indicated every section BUT that section and ran her highlighter through every box but that one. It was skillfully executed. We would never have agreed to that section, since we could have chosen a cheaper car without that ultra-expensive provision. We maintain, therefore, that our contract was defective, since we were unable at that moment to fully read the contract. We agree to pay for the rented car, but not for the out-of-state amount.

      I rented a vehicle on 12/5 from the *** Ace rental location. While driving the car to ************ I noticed that the transmission was jumping. I called *** to ask them if I could return the car to the ************ location and swap it for another one. They told me I would have to take it to *** Boys for a diagnostic check but upon speaking with *** Boys they do not check transmissions and the warranty with ACE does not cover transmissions. I then called ACE back and they told me they would have the car towed but I would not be given a new vehicle and would have to find a way back to *** myself. They then called me back to tell me that the towing would be minimum $900 and I would be charged for this. When I said I paid for road side assistance with ACE and the standard coverage which I was told would cover any issues I had they told me I would still be charged. A supervisor called me and she said they would have the car towed and if no issues were found I would be charged over $900. Per the contract it also states Im responsible for any damage caused if repairs are needed and would be charged. I told them I was trying to help them and thought there might be an issue but Im not a mechanic or an expert so I dont know and . I tried to call back to ask how roadside assistance can help and they hung up on me. Now I have to drive the vehicle back to *** because no one will even answer my calls.

      This issue has not been resolved and they charged another unauthorized charge to my credit card.  I responded to them directly please reopen the case.

      *****,

       

      You have launched a chargeback with the charges on your card rendering the location unable to provide any kind of refund. The billing will have to be sorted out with your credit card company now since their is a chargeback open on your account. 

       

      Thank you,
