      1) TWO SHUTTLES REQUIRED and VERY SHADY OPERATION. This is NOT actually an airport rental company. While listed as an airport car rental company, you must take the general large shuttle bus to the ******** offsite rental location housing most rental companies. THEN, you must take another smaller shuttle which is an additional 8 minutes south of the airport and "***********************. When you arrive, it feels like you are being driven into a mafia kill zone at the back of a large pot-holed parking lot far away from town. 2) THIS COMPANY IS SHADY! They require a $300 deposit if you decline their insurance coverage. When I returned the car, a scratch was found that was not there when I got the car. Two volleyball sized circles were made surrounding the "damage", which was just dust that wiped right off plus the actual scratch that was half the size of a quarter. The entire $300 was retained to repair the damage. 3) The Ace Shuttle drivers were kind. 4) *********** is very quick to respond to emails and reviews. BUT, this changes nothing about the actual experience. 5) I will NEVER EVER RENT FROM ACE AGAIN, and I highly encourage all readers to avoid this company at all costs. It is not worth the risk of scam OR the extra time you must give up from your vacation to obtain the car from this far away location.

      If I could leave no stars, I would. I booked with ACE and a different company Drivo gave the contract. They added fees that were already prepaid and could not explain how they arrived at the total. They are not upfront and honest in their dealings. They misrepresent what the cost are and in a sense you are held hostage because you need the car that you have aleady paid a non refundable price for.

      I was charged money on my credit card because they said I did fill the car up upon arrival I emailed the president of this company my fuel receipt and my rental confirmation. They will take your money.

      Do not rent from this company. They will scam you. Read the fine print. Unlimited miles dont really mean unlimited miles!!! If you leave ** or SC they will charge you a hefty daily fee. I booked a standard SUV to be picked up at ********* location. What I got what a regular car but no discount in price. The price I was quoted was $678 but with all the hidden fees and other gimmicks it ended up being $1,600. Total miss representation and miss advertisement. I wasnt the one picking it up because I would have left without the car. The car is too small and now we are not even going to travel out of the state with it. When I called the customer service I was put into a voice mail. I called again and they were so rude. I was told I had to drive back to the physical location because they could not return the fee for out of state travel over the phone!!! Unbelievable. Basically told me to read the fine print and there is nothing else they can do!!! This company is taking advantage of people that are traveling here from abroad or dont pay attention. Its really sad and disappointing. I WILL NEVER rent from them again.

      Ace Rental Car **********, ** is unprofessional. Pick you up in a dirty van so you can rent a dirty car. We were told that due to early morning drop off return 6am to leave car at nearby ********* who will shuttle to airport. *** forgot to mention that there will be a $10 charge. Called Ace to address and resolve issues privately and was first left on hold for 20 minutes with no pick up. I called back left a message with no return call. Steer clear of Ace.

      CF#NWS14003132 Your reservation was booked for return at 8am which is the time that the ********** location opens. Since you did not select a time prior to the opening time that could be the reason the system did not send you the information on returning after hours. The hours of operation can also be found on the *** website as well as the third party websites. We will mention this information to the locations management team so that can refresh the agents in after hour policies as well as speak to those that are responsible for making sure the vehicles are clean Thank you for contacting us .

      I booked a vehicle through Priceline for $60 for the day however I was charged $200 instead. Sad thing the car broke down and I had to have it towed in. So I didn't get to use my $60 rental. I was not offered my money back or another vehicle. Honestly I was ignored with the employees having their conversations instead of greeting and serving the customers. This ACE brings the quality of this company down. ACE in ********** is outstanding however ********************* store needs a new staff. They only have one friendly, out going employee. If you want your business to improve she needs to be the manager (*************************).

      WOW. So, I rented a car through Priceline and specified I needed a 5 seater as I was travelling with my husband and 3 young children. When we arrived at the rental car location, we were told the only car we are entitled is a 4 seater. I do not understand how 5 people, 3 children can fit legally into a 4 seater car. Aside from being ridiculous, I was told very plainly that either I can leave without a car AND without a refund, or I can pay more than it cost initially to upgrade to a mini-van. As both options were unreasonable, and seeing as we are on a budget and this was highway robbery, we proceed to argue with the attendant. Eventually, he found a "better" rate for us on the "upgrade". Mind you, others we know who were travelling alone were automatically offered upgraded vehicles, but us with 3 children and carseats were originally given a 4 seater. It is pure theft. I urge you to seriously reconsider your rental. Yes, things can happen with any car rental agency. And yes, no specific car can usually be guaranteed. ALL we asked for was one with 5 seats. We had absolutely no preference on type, make, or anything else. The worst part of this is that we only rented a car to provide a little flexibility, we only ended up driving it twice, once from the airport and once back to the airport. Next time we'll just uber. It will be cheaper and nicer to deal with. They also didn't question us about insurance or require us to take insurance. We had through priceline.

      Hello,Thank you for reaching out. I show you booked a wild card booking. With this there is no guarantee on what vehicle will be provided. That is why this is offered at a reduce pricing. The vehicle is provided specifically on what the location has the most of in their fleet at the time. Making this completely at random. The upgrade is something that is valid in this case. Kind regards,ACE *************

      I declared I was traveling as part of a family of five. If the rental location isn't able to provide a vehicle that fits my party, then it should not have accepted the reservation. Not offering to refund my money, so I could potentially find another rental location that could accommodate, but rather forcing me to pay more for something I believed I was getting is theft.

      Terrible. This company needs to be prosecuted. Do not use them. They quote you a price and then try to double it when you get there, tired from traveling, to pick up your rental. They hard sell the insurance when you don't need it. If you're a fully insured motorist you don't need to buy their insurance. They use intimidation techniques and tell you that you need a 4 wheel drive because there's so much snow in the mountains. That was a big fat lie. It's just awful. They need to be stopped. A young couple that I rode back to the airport with, paid $400 more than they had expected to pay. A young couple! This was like dealing with the ******* prince who just needs you to send him $10K so he can get his inheritance! The problem with the car company is that you are trying to say no to their scam but you just want to get your car and get to where you're going. The shuttle service was awful too. I wondered if they were going to show up when I got to ******, as I watched several Enterprise shuttles go by while I waited. Same thing going back. They had a very relaxed attitude about shuttling the customer around. Oh, and it is NOT complimentary. They charged a "transfer" fee on the bill. $15. It was just an all around terrible experience. The car was dirty too! I could barely see out the windows they were so streaked, particularly hard to see when going into the sun. Don't rent from these people. They need to go out of business.

      Extremely long wait times, try to scam you out of $400. They make you sign a bunch of papers for denying their insurance. Awful business. They prey on those who dont know better to steal their money, and then buy expensive cars to draw more people in. They need to be reported and brought down.

      I would not recommend this company to anyone, they told us that the mountains were in white out conditions when we arrived. The guy at the counter laughed in our face that we rented a full size sedan and told us we would never make it showing us fake footage of the roads. So with no knowledge of the area we went with a 4 wheel drive car and spent double the price. Only to get up in the mountains and there be absolutely no snow on the roads. plus they say that there shuttle service is complementary but they in fact charge you 10 bucks each way. All in all this was a terrible experience they do not care about the customer.
