    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY- they will FEE you to death following your rental.... $95 per toll processed if you do not purchase their toll card.... Absolutely ridiculous! And this is not verbally disclosed upon your rental.... Fees are how this company stays in business- and the rental car was NOT nice-stained seats, large hole in driver side carpet.... DO NOT RECOMMEND!

    THE WORST!!! We rented a car through Expedia and prepaid. Went to get the car only to find out it was off-site and took 20 minutes to get there by shuttle. We declined insurance, the sunpass, and said we would take the gas top up. They made us initial on a debit machine and charged us a $400 deposit, which they told us numerous times was just a deposit.

    When we returned the car, we were charged the entire deposit for all of the things we declined and for a privilege fee, an entire tank of gas, even though they told us we would be charged for whatever we needed for a top-up. They said, "Oh we signed off on all of this" which we didn't. The car had a broken seat belt in the back, so we couldn't sit on that side. A piece of the trim was falling off inside the door, and they had no other cars, so we had to take that one. We ended up trying to fight, losing the deposit, but they just keep saying we signed off, even though we had no physical paper that we signed and were scammed by the employee. Do NOT book with this company. It is the worst customer service, and they are fraudulent!

    Please don't use this car rental company. If I could give zero stars I would. Adriana, the representative that checked my husband and myself in at San Antonio airport, clearly deceived us. First, we have used this company twice before, through Expedia, and we were quite pleased at this location. When we were asked about liability insurance coverage we both specifically stated we didn't want liability insurance, as our personal car insurance has coverage for rental cars. She tried to sell us it a second time, stating our personal car insurance wouldn't cover all damages if we were to be in an accident and we both again refused the liability insurance. She then told one of us to initial the box, and my husband did. It's her putting in the information on the computer, and then him initialing a signature box.

    Nowhere can you see what you are actually initially. She asked for a credit card and said our deposit would be returned when the car was returned but we owed $87.40. He explained to her, this was already paid for ahead of our trip by Expedia, and we shouldn't owe anything because we refused the liability insurance and she stated that it wasn't a liability insurance coverage charge that it was a government tax charge, not paid by Expedia. We paid it reluctantly, and gave her our American Express credit card, knowing they would help dispute this charge.

    The receipt was emailed to us, when we returned the car, undamaged, however, and we were already in flight to home. The detailed receipt stated that we paid for supplemental liability insurance at $15.50 for five days, plus tax $87.40. Again, we refused this insurance. This is a painful process. We contacted Expedia and they said, Fox's record to them was that we returned the car late and this was a late fee. We contacted the manager at Fox and they said we initialed for the liability insurance, and sent the rental agreement only then showing that box initialed by us. Save yourself the aggravation. Go to a more reputable car rental company. We will never use them again. This is being disputed through American Express credit card. Live and learn.

    Our reservation was made through Priceline. From the time we got to the rental counter till the time we dropped the car off the service was terrible. The wait time and attitude from the staff members sucked. Nobody liked their job. We upgraded for $500 to an 8 passenger SUV. Waited 45 minutes for a 4 Runner that still wasn’t ready. They told us that car was having routine maintenance and a wash. Mind you I had an appointment an hour away and could not wait any longer. I asked for another vehicle. They gave us a Chrysler minivan. Which was filthy. Beat up and had the check engine light on.

    We unpacked the van. Went back to the desk. Again all of the employees seemed annoyed with all of the customers coming back to complain about the vehicle they were given. I asked for the Toyota Sienna that I figured would be a reliable vehicle. The representative said that it was a hybrid and she would need to get approval. While she was on the phone with who knows who. Customers were at the counter complaining about the vehicles. Waiting another 30 minutes. I said to her. I need to go. I cannot wait here any longer. The rep said. I have a VW Atlas ready now. The car comes to the driveway. Looks like someone squirted the hose and left the car. Really dirty inside and out. Scratched and dented. We drove it because at this time we were already late for our appointment. While driving the car. The dashboard kept showing different faults. I would NEVER rent from this company again.

    Recently rented a car from the Ft. Myers Fl. location May 5 to 12 2026. Rented thru expedia. The rental office was off airport, and shuttle picked us up promptly. Car was ready, had already paid thru expedia. Asked for extra insurance, which I declined. Was told to put down $350 to cover any tolls or needing of any gas when car was returned. Returned with full tank of gas. Of the $350 deposit, $232 returned. They charged me for not using tolls at $14 per day. Never told anything about that at checkin. Renter Beware- they get you one way or another. Lost a customer here and I will certainly not recommend to anyone in the future.

    Very disappointing experience with Fox Rent A Car at Phoenix Airport. We clearly stated at the counter that we did not want insurance or any extra coverage. The only additional charge explained to us was a small upgrade fee so my husband could also drive the car. Instead, we were rushed through multiple signatures without properly being shown or informed about what was being added to the contract. Later, we discovered almost $200 in extra charges for LDW insurance and Roadside Assistance that were never clearly explained to us.

    What made this even worse was how unprofessional the situation was handled afterward. Customer service simply pointed to the signatures and offered a small voucher to use their company again, which honestly felt insulting after this experience. My husband and I rent cars often and have never experienced something like this before. I would absolutely not recommend this company. If you rent from them, carefully review every single charge before signing anything.

    Absolutely terrible experience with Fox Rent A Car. This company feels like a complete scam. The price they advertise online is nowhere near what you actually end up paying once you arrive. They hit you with hidden fees, ridiculous deposits, and nonstop pressure to buy extra insurance even if you already have coverage.

    The customer service was awful from start to finish. Employees were rude, unhelpful, and acted like they didn’t care at all. The car itself was dirty, had damage all over it, and clearly wasn’t maintained properly. Then after returning the vehicle, I was charged extra fees with little explanation. I would strongly recommend avoiding Fox Rent A Car unless you want stress, hidden charges, and a terrible rental experience. There are way better companies out there that actually treat customers honestly.

I was already under a lot of stress because that vacation was anything but Pleasant only to return a car and have to deal with other situations that I should not have had to deal with. I contacted Katie and customer service who was finally able to shed some light on this after a 3-day wait again no extra charges were given just a lot of extra aggravation.

    Please read this in full. We were at Pheonix AR Airport. What happened to us by Europcar/Fox Rental car was so wrong. We were scammed. Stop sending people to Europcar/Fox Rental Car. Twice before our trip I called Europcar and was told we had to have our car picked up by 12:30PM. Our flight was late and we didn't get to Europcar until around 12:50. We were stressed and so grateful the employee waited for us. The employee said, "We are going to upgrade your car for you." We said no we want fuel economy. He insisted they were upgrading our car and no worries, they would take care of us. No additional charge. We were charged for the upgrade. The employee had me initial here and there as he scrolled to the spots I had to initial and sign on the small electronic signature pad. I thought he was being nice and I was signing to get the car. Little did I know he had me signing for extras over $800.

    We did agree to the prepaid fuel charge and for both my husband and myself to drive the car, but nothing else. We were totally taken advantage of and scammed. After this I did research on Europcar/Fox rental car and found this is common for them to do this to people. They continue to rip people off, scam them, lie, and basically steal and no one will stop them or shut them down.

    On 4/3/26, I arrived at Fox to pick up a standard SUV that I reserved for rent. I was told that what I reserved was not available. The attendant stated that I would be able to rent another vehicle for no extra charge due to the vehicle I reserved not being available as promised. I received a credit card statement and receipt stating that I was charged an additional $224 as an upgrade. This was clearly not part of the agreement. I called their billing department only to get a response from the agent stating that there is nothing she could do to rectify the situation and that there was nothing one else that I could speak. This deceptive practice is bait and switch with no expectation that the customer will hold them accountable. Contacted the BBB.

Which I had already paid for thru Price Line at $157.00. The guy at the desk said the rental fee would be returned.

    We arrived in Denver and it had recently snowed. The person behind the desk recommended we upgrade to an AWD vehicle. Well initially he quoted us $450 EXTRA on the original $350 rental fee for the upgrade. When we said there's no way we're paying more than double for an AWD, he started asked if we were Costco members, and that he could do a small discount - he didn't even ask to see the Costco card, so this basically tells me that he's just making up prices as he goes.

    Anyway, the rental was fine, the car was pretty good, but then we received a toll bill in the mail. Now, he did not mention anything about charges for tolls. There were $23.30 in toll charges; no big deal, but here's the kicker - $120 in admin fees. So now basically we've ended up paying ~$800 for what started as a $350 rental. My recommendation: just use a reputable rental agency - you'll end up paying the same or less for a much better experience. We will never use Fox again, and neither should you!

    Lots of charges!! Firstly they would not waive the under 25 fee even though I turn 25 in a month, it just comes up "in the system". Second, they basically force you to pay for the Sun Pass every day. In FL if you don't have one and you go through the toll it's about $5-8, but Fox will charge you $90 plus $15 each additional time you go through a toll unless you buy the pass for each day, ridiculous. Then, they add all these tiny little fees for random things, the worker didn't even know what they were for and couldn't explain them to me. I asked what is this and he said, "I don't know it's in the system, I don't add that." HUH?

    The car itself was also kind of dirty, not bad but found old food in between seats. Car drove well. Overall, not good customer service and horrible extra fees. I also got a manager special, and he only gave me the small car, I asked if since it was just a mystery car if I could get a bigger car (which I saw a bunch just sitting in the lot) and he said that would be an upcharge, even for the newer model of the car he gave me was going to be an upcharge.

    I had a very frustrating and misleading experience renting a car in Denver. At the counter, I was told that due to the “Colorado traction law,” I would need to upgrade my vehicle to comply with state requirements. This was presented in a way that made it sound mandatory and non-negotiable, as if I would be breaking the law without upgrading. However, this was completely misleading.

    My travel route was simply from Denver International Airport to Cañon City—primarily along I-25 and US-50. These are not mountain pass roads, and the Colorado traction law does not automatically apply to this route. The law is typically enforced on specific high-elevation corridors (like parts of I-70) and only during certain weather conditions. None of that applied to my trip.

    At no point was this explained clearly. Instead, the situation felt like a pressure tactic designed to upsell a more expensive vehicle under the guise of legal necessity. As a traveler unfamiliar with local laws, I relied on the information provided by the rental agent—and that information was inaccurate. Rental companies have a responsibility to provide honest, transparent guidance. Explaining that certain vehicles may be beneficial for mountain driving is reasonable. Telling customers they are required by law to upgrade—when that is not true for their route—is not.

    This experience left me feeling taken advantage of and distrustful of the company’s practices. I would strongly caution other travelers to research the Colorado traction law themselves and not rely solely on what is said at the rental counter. Overall, this felt less like customer service and more like a misleading sales tactic. I expected better transparency and integrity.

    This is an insurance selling company while renting cars. In Las Vegas, the counter staff is obviously incentivized to sell liability insurance. I was told I had to select from one of 3 levels of insurance. "Declining" was not listed as an option and it is unclear if "declining" is an option unlike mainline rental companies like National. My minimum coverage turned out to cost me $100 more than the actual rental. I could have rented from National for a total cost less than Fox as my personal car insurance covers me when using a rental. Protesting upon check in placed me in a "not my responsibility" loop inside corporate and local Fox. They are seasoned professional scammers. My suggestion is demand "Decline" and walk away if the sales pressure begins.

    While I was driving, I called Fox to ask them what I should do with the flashing lights.The gentleman asked me, what did I see? And I told him, I also asked if it was safe for me to continue driving this car or if I should pull over somewhere and they could bring me another car or what avenue should I take at this time? They assured me that the car was safe.There was nothing wrong. It just needed to be "reset" when I returned it. Again, I said, "Are you sure because it's acting very strange?" They said, yes, we have to reset something when I return it and it was fine to continue driving.

    Approximately twenty minutes later, the car bogged down in the front sounded like two pieces of metal scraped. Underneath the hood and I pulled to the side of the road, smoke started coming out from underneath the car and eventually the car was engulfed in flames. I was terrified as I called Fox back to inform them that their car was on fire. The lady just told me to hang up and call 911. I am a 65-year-old woman driving on a dark desert highway by myself in a state that I'm not from. I don't know where I'm at.

    But apparently a truck driver or someone called 911, and told them the situation. When I called Fox back, I got no response to what happened, they didn't offer me a refund... They didn't offer me any kind of compensation,...not even to pay for the Uber. I had to take to the airport. I will never run a car from this company again as I found out later that that car was under recall for possible fire in the engine. Currently talking to a lawyer to see what leg I have to stand on. If I can add pictures to this, I will. Of course, it won't allow photos. If you'd like to see them...email me at **.

    I strongly advise against using FOX Rental Agency. I explicitly declined all insurance and roadside assistance when I rented the vehicle, and the agent had me sign a form confirming my decision. I also paid a $350 deposit. After returning the car with a full tank of gas and no damage, I was shocked to receive an invoice two days later for $200 in insurance and roadside assistance charges, leaving me with only $150 refunded. Although the agent assured me that I was signing to decline the services. The billing department insisted that I had agreed to the charges when I signed the contract. I never received a hard copy of the contract, and while I regret not requesting one, this experience has left me feeling misled and frustrated. I have never encountered such dishonest business practices, and I will never rent from them again. I highly recommend others avoid this company as well.

    I have to agree with the multiple previous reviews. Fox Rental Car charged me more than I agreed to pay on my reservation. I asked both the representative behind the desk and representative in the garage who gave me the keys if the price remained the same as on my reservation. Both representatives confirmed Yes. They demand your signature on a little screen about 4x4 inches in size so you can't read it properly.

    There was nobody there when I returned the car. Therefore I could not get checked out or get a receipt. I only discovered the increased price when I reviewed my credit card charges. I called their helpline but that representative was also unhelpful. Consumer Affairs is correct in stating that Fox Rental Car may offer low prices but they make it up on the back end by charging what they want. It's a classic bait and switch. I fly for business every month and will not be utilizing Fox again until they remedy the problem.

    Never had a poor rental car experience in all our years of travel before Fox. If it were not for the friendly shuttle drivers it would be a zero rating. In Ontario CA it is NOT located at the airport, two shuttles later we were pressured into purchasing insurance that we had already purchased through Expedia in a package. Car was sketchy, ran and shifted very rough, large tear in the fabric of the door, no mats, good thing we barely drove it. Saving a few bucks costs us.. Was contacted for a review by the local manager, she was going to look into our concern. No reply. Avoid the frustration!!!

    I got into an accident on my first day of rental. I followed up with my car insurance and Fox to learn my next steps. Fox gave me conflicting information. On-call representatives asked me to bring my car to a designated lot, not the location where I picked up the car. I order a tow and the tow company shares that the LOT WAS LOCKED AND CLOSED. Tow company has no choice but to stow the car and TOW AGAIN the next day. I had to call Fox repeatedly to confirm the lot would be open.

    On the day of the accident, I also confirmed with my car insurance that I would only be responsible for the deductible. Months later, I received a letter saying I owe thousands of dollars. I called my car insurance and they shared FOX completed repairs that were NOT RELATED to the accident, therefore my car insurance wouldn't cover those costs. I asked FOX for an itemized receipt of all repairs and their representative ONLY PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE DOCUMENT. I had less than a month to figure out what was going on, and the FOX representatives kept harassing and threatening me for money, urgently. What's the difference between a SCAM and FOX??
