We landed late in the evening. We didn't know that the rental place was off-site, and had to look back through email to find a telephone number for the shuttle. It was 45 minutes from phone call to pick up. Once back in the office, we were told we need to buy a toll pass with an up front charge and a daily rate. Our insurance wasn't one of the seven they accepted, so, guess what? Another charge to pay for their insurance. I'm doing the math during this whole sales pitch and realizing we're aren't saving anything, and we are renting from a place that's 10 minutes from the terminal. Oddly enough, the employee said, "If this is too much, we can just take you back to the airport." So, that's what we did. We rented from a national company, which ended up being about the same price, right there in the airport, and had no trouble. But, our vacation started with 2 hours down the drain just to end up with no car from Horspower (why'd you take the "e" out of that word, anyway?).
I wasn't comfortable with the up front charges, and it made me afraid that we were in for a big surprise when we returned the car. I guess we'll never know.
They tried to force me into purchasing their insurance. I showed them my insurance and they said they did not accept it. I had to show them their own policy online in order for them to allow my insurance as coverage. Same for Sunpass- they forced it at $7.95 per day even though I had my own and their policy said it was available but nowhere said absolutely must purchase it. Also, at drop off, I had to call because no one was there. I had to wait 20 minutes after I called them for someone to show up.
The staff were friendly but there was no one there to rent me the car. I had to wait for the person to arrive. Car was not as clean inside as I am used to when renting cars.
Very bossy atmosphere. Limited English. Car had dents and marks all over it. Personal insurance coverage policy is awful. Customer appreciation is not in their vocabulary. Required a signature on the contract without providing the details of what the “additional charges” may be. Would NEVER subject myself to this car rental company again. In addition, there is no outside signage that even leads one to believe that this is a legitimate business. It actually says “CrossFit” on the outside. Awful. Just awful. Airport shuttle is the only positive thing I can say about this experience as I am still waiting for my deposit to be released when the car was turned in on Friday, July 12. They tell me they won’t release it until July 17!!!
This company is no good! Their office is a small cubicle in a hotel in Orlando off site of the airport. The agent tried to charge me $15 a day for being over 70! This was not in my contract with Easyrentcars! I have all my body parts, no replacements, take care of my own home, babysit the grandchildren, am of sound mind and body and have never had any driving violations! I reported this to my credit card company. They also offered for me to purchase a SunPass (Florida's prepaid toll card) for $75 which I declined because I knew I could pay cash for the 2 tolls I would use @ $ 2.50 each. Later, a transaction appeared on my credit for $82 for the SunPass. I reported this to my credit card company. On a positive note, the car was clean and had only a few scratches on it which were noted at pick up. It had only 3/4 of a tank of gas and I returned it with that same amount which was accepted. All in all, DO NOT rent from Horspower!
The car was fine. As for Horspower, we waited at least 45 minutes. We had to call to get some to pick us up. When you put down a time to pick up your car they mean that time. There is no shuttle, the car you are renting is what they pick you up in. They rent out of a hotel which was very uncomfortable and a little inconvenient. E
ven though you have a Sunpass for the tolls they have their own so yours is no good so you end up paying more money. There are a lot of penalty fees if you bring the car back early or return it late so dead the paperwork carefully.
