    For 76 cents of toll, Fox charged me 15 dollars of administrative fees. I think that it is an abuse of the contract items. Perhaps there are in the middle of the contract some item where says that you must pay some charge because something, but this is excessive.

    We had the exact same experience at Phoenix (PHX) as "Rani **, CA" (see review dated 8-14-2024). We had a prepaid 4-day rental at PHX via Priceline. While we don't mind paying added taxes, the counter agent added 'loss damage waiver' and their 'fuel refill' charge even though we verbally declined (only spouse as witness). They use a tiny digital signature pad so you can't read what you are agreeing to upon signing, you presume the agent is marking what you asked for. After the rental Fox charged us $147.97 for those items even though we returned full of gas. I requested a refund from Fox directly and that request was declined citing the signed agreement. I suspect the agents get a reward for these add-ons. Examine the printout before leaving the counter!

    Reservations made directly with Fox. Reservations made directly with Fox Rent A Car can be canceled using the same source. Fox does not charge a cancellation fee, but requests notice as soon as travel plans change. FOX rent prepaid is sham (not gas prepaid). Don't ever use it or that matter Fox. No refund at all, just a credit to be used in the future after they first take $50 from you in addition. I just my credit in the future and then never use FOX again.

    I will NEVER rent from them again. (1) The checkin/car pick up experience was awful and took over an hour (they don’t offer pre-checkin so you can go straight to your car); (2) customers (not their staff) are responsible for marking on a drawing all possible damage they see on the car before they leave with the vehicle; (3) they use bait and switch pricing and say unlimited miles but when I checked in there was a restriction on distance and only driving in the pickup state and the state to the left and right, and if you breached that, there would be a crazy penalty fee charged (I believe $1,000) and they use gps to track where the car goes;

    (4) I had to extend my stay twice for a family issue and it was really hard to reach anyone in customer service to do that; and (5) when extending, they charge you the normal daily/weekly rental rate + a penalty for extension + a per day extension fee on top of the normal rate. I’ve shared the experience with a few friends and they each had similar experiences and none of us will ever use them again.

    Rented and prepaid a car online, was slapped on the wrist with an additional $700 charges due to the fact that I don't have a credit card, charged us for extra drivers and an upgrade that was supposed to be "free upgrade because you will have extra fees due to not having a credit card." Everything was paid on my son's credit card and after 10 days of returning the vehicle, I called and requested the final receipt and saw all the "extra" fees we accrued. Poor customer service on the phone, talked down to me and belittled me because I don't have a credit card. This is the worst company to rent from, I travel often and have never had an issue and never paid so much for a car in my life. Never rent with Fox again. You want decent treatment, then have credit cards in hand always.

    It is the worst rental car company I ever dealt with. I book a car to pick it up from Vegas, Nevada, drop off in LA California through Expedia. Total amount supposed to be $447.00 including taxes and protection plan. When I drop off the car they hit me with the $200, drop off fee never been announced or mention before. I would never rent from them again and I hope nobody will because those hidden fees shouldn’t be hidden.

    On arrival at the Fox desk in Atlanta I went through the normal checklist to rent the vehicle and when it came to insurance cover the Fox associate asked me if wanted the cover and I declined it due to the fact my own vehicle insurance coverage was ample and my American Express card also covered the vehicle as I used the card to purchase the rental. He confirmed my request.

    I was then asked to both sign and initial on a iPad which was sideways so had no chance of seeing what was on the screen but like most renters trusted the agent and just want to get the car and get on the road! Returning the car was a nightmare with poor directions of finding the return garage entrance and once I did it was a zoo!! I received a receipt quickly but was boarding my return flight to Tampa so had no chance to look at it until I arrived back home! Fox had in fact charged me for insurance I did not require or need?

    I immediately called Fox who told me the communication would be passed on to somewhere else! Not sure where as the person I spoke to was extremely vague. I received an email shortly after saying “ Claim denied”... As simple as that and stated the signed documents! I did send an email to Fox thereafter but of course, no response! I’ve since gone on to their reviews and see there’s a pattern to my complaint with so many people being scammed like this! So, I’ve lost my money and like everyone else and wish I’d checked reviews first!! Lesson learned!!! On closing… DON'T USE THIS RENTAL COMPANY AS THEY ARE AS “SLY AS A FOX.”

    Fox rent a car company located at the FLL Airport is absolutely ridiculous. It took an est. 12 mins to service each customer. The hidden fees are not worth the savings in the end. The representatives at the counter appear to use the waiting time as a tactic to get you to purchase more unnecessary things. An hour and a half, and the billing was messed up. For anyone looking to rent a car, please consider using a different company.

    FOX FRAUDULENTLY CHARGED ME $464.35 AND $2,839.98 AFTER I ALREADY PAID THROUGH PRICELINE $293+$116 FOR AN EXTRA DAY. My flight was delayed 3 times, so I got there at 11:30+/- instead of 9:00+/- pm. I tried calling them during delays, but couldn't get through. This was in Seattle and I had to do a lot of driving, by myself, so I obviously reserved the smallest car possible. Well, they gave my reserved car away at my reserved price and left me with an 8-seater, 3 row, Wagoneer that I could barely drive, and said it was $300/night instead of the $54/night. What?!! The lady at the desk agreed to only charge $99/night and it was now one less night, so about $240 that I paid right there. The car was horrible, enormous, wouldn't fit anywhere and got 10 mpg!! I had to park at the parking garage across from my hotel downtown Seattle.

    When I came back to leave, a person was now parked on either side and I couldn't get the car out of the space. The front end almost immediately touch the car to the right, or take off the bumper of the car to the left. So I couldn't use the car for a day and a half and had to get an Uber for $100/day, WHILE SPENDING $100 per day on the Wagoneer. When I finally got it out, I had missed doing all the things I had stayed for the weekend to do. So I called Priceline and asked how much to extend one day, they called Fox and they said $116, so again, I paid right then over the phone. Then the next day, before I went to park it for the last time, I filled the gas, which was half a tank and it cost over $75!!! I parked it and when I got up the next morning to drive to the airport, I couldn't find the key. That was my only mistake. It is a $250 charge, I accept that. So I had to leave the car and get a $80 Lyft to the airport.

    I immediately started calling Fox to tell them to go get the car. For 3 days straight, they passed me from person to person, hanging up on me, taking my number and not calling me back. So it was 4 days until their Roadside assistance called me back. I told them the issue and they went and got it. They said it would be $110 towing fee, and I said okay. So they have told me in total $250 for lost key charge and $110 tow fee, so $350 would be charge to me. Instead, they charged my card $464.35 AND $2,163.46, which included all rental nights at $300, a refueling fee when I had not driven it since I filled it up for $75 the night before, and just a ton of other charges, duplicating all of the charges I already paid. They are a dishonest, opportunistic, unethical company, and I am taking this to court.

I do not need their insurance and it is always a question that comes up-I have my own car insurance that covers rentals. But I was automatically charged it anyway!!

    Consider yourself warned!! Do NOT rent from Fox! The ‘deal’ you get online will be doubled at the very least with all the extra taxes and fees. I read similar reviews and thought surely I would see through their tactics but boy they have their business model down to a dirty science. The counter is staffed by associates who barely speak English, the room is packed and loud, they rush you through everything and directly lie or intentionally leave out details. I contacted their customer service which is based in the Philippines and was told the counter representative can say anything they choose and it’s for me to verify it. That’s their loophole. They CAN say whatever and it IS my responsibility to verify.

    Do Not EVER rent from Fox. I plan to contact a government oversight agency to file a formal complaint against this company. I rented a car from Fox in the Phoenix, Arizona area in March 2024. Fox charged me for an 8-day rental when I was only in Phoenix for 4 days. At first, I thought this was an oversight on the company's part, but Fox reproduced paperwork showing the rental was kept for 8 days. I had documentation of my flight itinerary showing my time in Phoenix and returning home after 4 days.

    My feelings about being scammed have been validated after reading these reviews. I read reviews before renting from Fox but this thread did not come up. The rental horror stories sound very familiar to me. Upon arrival at the reservation counter, I was told I would be given a car smaller than I had reserved, so I had to pay for an upgrade. I was told a hold would be placed on my card and refunded related to unnecessary insurance coverage, late fees were charged, and the price billed to my credit card was double the contracted amount. I am still going back and forth with my credit card company and Fox Rent a Car.

    Let's put them out of business. It is not worth the risk. Do not trust the employees at the counter! I was not that impressed with the price of the car but I assumed it was a reputable company doing business in the Phoenix airport. The public needs to be protected from these scammers. Absolutely, horrible! There does need to be a class action lawsuit. They are ripping off a lot of people.

    We are from France and we live in Kansas. We rented a car by Fox with Expedia and the company asked from us to sign documents with additional things that we didn't understand.

The guy told us, I will help you and you don’t have to pay more only for the baby seat. Expedia paid to us already. He gave us to sign quickly the document when 30 persons were waiting behind us. We didn't see that he added all the assurances etc that I told him that I have with my Visa card. I paid more expensive than all the most expensive companies.

    DO NOT RENT WITH FOX! We rented a car at the SFO airport. The Fox suiter is not located at the Car Rental Center, so you have to wait for a shuttle to get to the Fox SFO location, which adds extra time to your rental experience. The van is usually crowded, and not very punctual. At the Fox SFO rental center, there are very few people to check you in. The wait for the car was 1 hour and twenty minutes! The staff treated everyone equally bad, acting as if they were doing the customers a favor. As it says, you get what you pay for. Cheaper is not always better.

    I rented a car through Priceline. Everything was paid upfront. I waited almost an hour to get my car since they said none available at 12pm. Everything seemed okay until I noticed a $167.76 charge on my card after returning from my trip. My husband said we do not need the extra insurance I have insurance through my auto insurance. They said they would add a $150 deposit since we opted out of the added insurance. The $150 would be credited upon return of the car. I called Fox and they said someone would call back in 72 hours. No one ever called back a week later. Disputed charge with Mastercard. Fox mailed them paperwork showing we opted for the insurance and said it was signed. I didn't get any kind of paperwork from Fox upon picking up or taking back the car.

    My credit card company said there was a charge of $317.76 of which $108 was insurance and the rest were taxes and additional FEES. If you take $317.76 minus the amount they charged my credit card $167.75 you are left with $150 which was the amount for the deposit. I wouldn't have had this info but my credit card company told me what it was for based on what Fox sent them showing we signed for insurance. DO NOT USE FOX!

    The staff was more interested in making us spend more money than making sure we got a car in a good condition. Please note this rental company is not open 24 hrs and they will not wait for extra time after hours even if you inform them you are going to be late. I booked the car for pickup time before 1am 14th July 2024. Our flight was delayed and we informed the rental company customer service over the phone call about the delay. The customer service staff made a note of it, informed me they sent a notification to the branch about the delay. The customer service staff also informed us it is up to the branch staff if they want to wait for extra time. We landed in Denver, took a cab and reached the branch after 1am (they close at 1am) but unfortunately no one wanted to wait for us because it is not mandatory.

    I came back in the morning, was greeted by a employee and then started the actual business. They asked me which places are we going to visit and then he tried to upgrade us to a AWD (extra 200$) which we denied. He then added some employee discount which he should have done initially before we denied the upgrade for the first time and tried to push us for an upgrade again to AWD for 100$. We denied this too. Now comes another one into picture called protection. The staff tried to scare us and pushed us to add protection. We didn’t have enough time to think about this and opted for basic protection. Later we came to know it is not needed as our current auto insurance covers that.

    Now comes the interesting one. The staff member offered us to sell the gas for cheaper price (3.39$) to fill the car’s gas tank. The staff member said “Hey I can offer you gas for a cheaper price than outside and you don’t need to fill the gas tank when are you returning the car”. We denied it because we already knew the gas price is lesser than 3.05 in many places in Denver.

    After all this discussion he just gave us the car key and asked me to find the car myself. I found the car, opened it and I smelled cigarette smoke. I was surprised the staff did not care to check the car before giving it to us. I went back to the help desk and met a different person because the guy who helped us first was not available. When I informed him about the car’s condition he was clearly not happy for some reason and finally gave us a different car. Note : Before going to this place to pick up the car please check with your insurance team about the coverage and don’t spend extra money here.

    Do not rent from this outfit. We went through Travelocity only to find that we COULD NOT travel outside the state (Florida) as we had reservations in NC. Even if you get their Insurance you only get 75% back (Technically, 65% because it cost 10% of purchase). When we went to pick up the vehicle initially, no one was around. When we found someone, they stated we had to go to the airport. Upon arrival at the airport, we were asked if we would take the car outside of Florida. Upon learning we could not we asked to cancel which we were told to contact Travelocity. Upon contacting Travelocity, they stated they had to contact FOX! What a run-a-round.

    Prepaid $582 for a rental only to arrive at the rental counter, wait over an hour, and then be told that no cars were available. If a car is reserved for a specific date and time for pickup, especially when paid for, how is it not ready? Finally, myself and several people in line ahead of me, were walked over to Dollar rental BY THE FOX EMPLOYEE because they had a few cars left. I was told that Fox would reimburse the difference, which I double checked with the Fox employee about before heading to the garage with my new rental agreement from Dollar for $948.

    Once the car was returned to Dollar, I called Fox to follow up on the reimbursement process only to be told that (A) there was no record in the Fox notes about running out of cars nor the employee promising reimbursement and (B) I should have been given an 'upsell agreement' by Fox which I was not. Now it appears that I am out of luck with reimbursement after paying more than DOUBLE to a competitor under the promise of being made whole by Fox. Not only were the Fox representatives at the SEATAC counter not helpful, they were also incompetent.

    I recently rented with fox - Orlando, after traveling all day and finally making it to my rental agency, I was handed the keys and told to sign a multitude of documents. One that I was told was "Mandatory" to sign was the loss damage waiver. I was told by Hakim that this was mandatory as I was renting a 15 passenger van, and it was classified as a commercial vehicle. So standing there with 5 kids my wife and in laws, I signed. Once I got settle about 2am I called my credit card company which I booked through and they said it is no way mandatory and my travel card has it covered. I called back the billing dept at fox and told them to remove it. They said I could travel back to the rental agency and get it refunded or wait until i return the vehicle and call them back for the refund- I had 72 hours after I returned the vehicle for my refund.

    I asked them if they made note on my file that I called and requested it to be removed/refunded and they did state that it was clearly on my file. So the day i retuned my vehicle I called the billing dept and they stated they had to escalate this matter - it was escalated and weeks went by I never heard back, after calling a number of times I was told they would get in contact with via email. As another work week went by I called back and they said it was denied by the manager. FOX Rental was by far the most unprofessional company I have dealt with but will never deal with again. I will begin to spread my experience now across the numerous sites for review in hopes to help another travel weary family make a better decision when it comes to the numerous rental companies available! So I was lied to, told a service was "Mandatory" than promised a resolve and then declined. Worst Rental Company so far.

    My wife and I recently moved to North Carolina, where we had just received our new Real ID licenses. For a trip to Texas, my wife made reservations with Fox. When we went to pick up the car, their ID scanning equipment rejected our licenses and they refused to rent us the car. They told us they could accept a passport to verify our identity (and let us drive their car with what they believed to be an invalid license?!!) (This, at an airport location where we had to pass through TSA.). They said we could go to another rental desk, where they had more basic scanning methods, but every other agency had zero cars available. Fox had NO protocol for handling this situation - abysmal service!

    My suspicion is that they knew they could rent our reserved car to some other customer at a higher rate, and they could not care less about the predicament they put us in. We ultimately were able to get a car from Hertz, where they had a scanning machine that appeared to be similar to Fox’s (in addition to the infrared device that shows the holograph on the card). Hertz’s machine said my license checked out fine. Will avoid Fox in the future.

    This company has all the makings of a scam. I saw multiple people get turned away due to no available cars even though they had prepaid. I saw people turned away because they only allow payment with a credit card, even though it is misleading on the website, and says debit or credit. Some were told it’s left to the “manager's discretion”. I myself tried to speak with a manager however, I talked to someone on the phone. I asked for a contact number (phone/email/address), they told me there was none. This company is scam-like and I will never book with them again.

    Fox charged me so many extra charges on the lie that they were temporary hold charges- No they weren't! Everything was an electronic signature and there were no words or contract to read. I took the word of the person at the desk that I would not be charged the amounts I saw-but I was and now I cannot fight it- because I signed the "contract" - the invisible contract! I do not need their insurance and it is always a question that comes up-I have my own car insurance that covers rentals. But I was automatically charged it anyway!!

    Stay away from Fox Rental. This company is a scam and every worker they have must be getting paid to add extra charges. This company practice is horrible and will charge you for upgrades which I didn't want. Also will charge you for their insurance which I had bought already thru a third party.

    I wish I could give them 0 stars. First off, I made this reservation 2 months in advance and the car wasn't ready on time, I had to wait longer for the car to be ready and I get the wrong vehicle. I understand that it is a holiday weekend but you would think that someone that makes a reservation well ahead in advance will get the vehicle that they selected. Second, the customer service at the office is terrible. They come across inconsiderate and definitely seemed like they didn't want to be there. The people that gave me the car didn't listen to my request that I am being given a wrong car. They said that is all they have, as I am looking at an SUV in the lot (they gave me a truck). They added insurance, when I said no.

    Thirdly, you would think that since I had to wait that the car would be in tip top shape. Well, the inside was not clean and the windshield wiper fluid was low (after 2 uses of it). Go with a known and established rental car company. Do not let the low prices impact your decision. You will definitely save the headache by choosing Hertz or Enterprise.

    We rented a full size car at EWR from May 27- May 31 for $278. Had a very bad experience right from the beginning. 1. We had to take a shuttle to the rental place since it was located far from the airport. However, the shuttle was available only from 6 am in the morning (so anyone who would land earlier will have to wait until 6 am). Upon arriving at the agency, we were told that there were no included was 408 full size cars and the only option was a Mid size SUV.

    Usually, in these circumstances, any agency in our previous experience had offered us at the same price as the full size. But Fox has charged us for the price of a mid size SUV, while we actually booked a full size. When asked if there is any possibility that the cars would be available later, they did not assure us, in which case we were forced to rent the SUV. Later, when we called the customer service, after 25 min of call, we were not given any option, neither to return the SUV and swap it with a full size car, nor adjusting the amount to the requested full size car price since there was no mistake of ours. All they offered was a 10% on the total rental charge, i.e. $13, while the taxes and other charges, together was $408 vs $278 for a full size that we actually booked earlier. To top it all the customer service agent in the office was very rude in responding to our questions.

Also, online did not say off-site, Fox is listed as an MCO rental car company, but it's a 10 min drive from the airport. We heard employees telling customers the shuttles run every 10 mins however this is not true and it wasn't just us, everyone on our shuttles to and from the airport were complaining about their wait time as well... Once at the rental place we were never told of a deposit fee or toll pass fee, online it says your final cost after taxes and fees. This is also not true. They said we have a $150 deposit and have to pay $14/day toll pass, if we don't pay for the toll pass they keep your $150 deposit and charge you the maximum ticketed price per toll!

    After waiting 45 mins for the shuttle then agreeing to all the extra payments we finally go to the vehicle. The seats were so stained there were scratches all over the back, which whatever, didn't matter too much to us. We start the vehicle and the front and back tire pressure on the passenger side were so low a light was flashing on the dash! This was a 4Runner SUV so pressure should be around 45ish. They were at 18 and 22!! We saw an employee walking by, we told her about the tires. She couldn't really communicate with us well and said she doesn't usually do this, but could add air. My husband offered to do it but she said no. She was very friendly and it was nice of her to do however, it took over 10 mins to put air in 2 tires. At this point we were so frustrated and ready to start our vacation.

    The finalize this nightmare car rental my husband had to spend time (and although less than $10) and money on our vacation to add air into the tires throughout our stay!!! This is completely unacceptable! I still feel we are owed for this horrible experience, but as terrible of a company this seems to be, I’m sure I'll never hear from them.

Then I waited in line for 2 hours with only 5-6 customers in front of me. The building was incredibly hot, air conditioning was only behind the counter for employees. I was then told that I could return my rental before they opened without any issues. When I went to view the shuttle schedule to make sure we’d get back to the airport on time. That’s when I realized they don’t offer shuttle service before they open. My flight leaves before they open. So I reached out to customer service. He was absolutely no help and informed me that I actually could not return my rental before they open. I would have to return it the night before (which is 2-3hrs away from my hotel). So now I feel completely stranded.

We had to fight with them when returning the car to get the money refunded after we spoke to their billing department who agreed that we did not need to purchase separate insurance. After all this, they still held back one day of the insurance cost, because we did not get a chance to talk to billing until the next day (like that was something we should have known). Plus, they charged us twice for the car as we paid for the rental through a third party. That was another thing we had to fight with them on when we returned to the airport to return the car (and while we were trying to get to our flight). Stay away from this company.

    Waited 30 minutes at Fox Rental which was in an alternate location from airport in Las Vegas. The customer service guy told us our reserved Kia Sportage (or similar) was not all wheel drive (which we assumed since it was an SUV) so we spent $212 more (after $678) on an upgrade. We selected a Toyota 4Runner. On the road, we found no windshield cleaning fluid, tire pressure was low, out of alignment symbol was lit up and "oil maintenance required" light came on. My girlfriend and I were on remote roads in Utah and were quite concerned about the possibility of low oil. Called Fox and was told we'd be reimbursed if we get oil and put it in.

    We were at Bryce Canyon National Park, headed toward Moab on remote Highway #12. When I pushed, they said we could take it to a service station in Moab. We would've had to give up a pre-paid 8 hour tour of Arches and Canyonlands ("Moab in a Day") and lose our money. We had no other choice but to just hope everything was OK. My friend was quite anxious about it. When we returned it at Phoenix Airport, I sought out a manager to discuss our issues. He was at lunch. They took my phone number as we had to catch our flight but he never called. After several calls after returning home, the best they could do was give us 20% of our upgrade cost ($42.59). We paid $891 for a vehicle that was not adequately maintained, one that we did not feel safe in. I DO NOT recommend Fox Rental! I've never had any issues with other vehicles I've rented. Our vehicle was not maintained appropriately and we felt unsafe.

    Typical bait and switch.. Reserved a Camry. Got there at 9 am. Said all they had left for me was a Scion box car and only had the one. If I wanted to upgrade... Said would be an additional $10 per day. Paid the $110 on my credit card. Returned the car early and received an $8.01 refund. Well when inquiring why my $150 deposit wasn't returned to my card after being back for 3 weeks..Said they kept the 150 for the 110 upgrade and the extra 40 was for the taxes. Funny how they knew on 3/14 that on 4/2 I was going to have 110 in upgrades with 40 in taxes 10 days before I even picked the car up and a 300 dollar rental went to 554 with all their fees and the 110 had 40 dollars of fees.. Crooked. Will never do business with this company again.

    This has happened Twice! Fox returning deposits is a joke. I've had to get Capital One involved on both occasions. I initially PAID for the rental and deposit in advance, Feb. 2024. My trip was in April 2024. I had a issue on my first card so Cap One sent me out a new card. I informed Fox, calling first and was told that it would be taken care of when I arrived. I now have a new card to present at the counter, Fox charged me TWICE, telling me that they are NOT ABLE to move the $415.00 I already PAID on my first card. In other words, after speaking with Fox's Accounting office they had the GALL to tell me that the first deposit was placed back on my "first card", one that Cap One closed!

    I called Cap One explaining this mess and they put the money right back on my card and took up the dispute with Fox Car Rental. NOW I'm waiting on my NEW CARD, the $150.00 deposit they promised me would be back on my card within 48 hours. That was 8 days ago now. FOX CAR MAY HAVE CHEAP PRICES, BUT THEY HAVE THE MAKINGS OF VERY GOOD SCAM ARTISTS! The BBB should take notice.

    The representative that sold us the upgrade at the Denver Airport location failed to clearly explain how much more expensive it was going to be to switch to the Toyota 4Runner. It turned out to be an additional $40+ per DAY!!! I had already prepaid for a full sized sedan at $30/day. I don't understand the outlandish price increase. When I look at the daily cost of a 4Runner on Fox's website now, it's not more than $35/day total. I ended up paying almost $75/day-- RIDICULOUS!! The agent was nothing more than a fast-talking, "friendly" salesman who mentioned "discounts", etc., but never answered my question about the extra cost. My bad for allowing myself to be steered that way, but we were tired after a long day of work and travel. I have always used Budget in the past. I thought I'd give Fox a try --- NEVER AGAIN!!!

    This evening, March 30, 2024, I arrived at Fox rental company in Burbank, CA to pickup the compact vehicle I had rented and paid in full. Upon my arrival, I was told that they had Dodge Charger that they upgrade me into as they no longer had any compact cars available. I advised them that the reason I rented a compact vehicle was because I wanted a vehicle that was gas efficient and a Dodge Charger with a Hemi engine really burns a lot of gasoline. They also offered me a Van. I told them that I didn't need a van, as a van was not gas efficient either. They apologized and said that I could pay additional money if I wanted to upgrade to a vehicle that was more energy efficient.

    I spoke to the supervisor on the telephone and she was no help. She just said the same thing. I rented a car from this company a few weeks ago and they made me take the Dodge Charger with the Hemi engine, as the type of vehicle I rented was no longer available. Seems to me that this particular location or company has a pattern of making their clients take cars that from their lot that they didn't want in the first place. I have rented many vehicles from other rental car companies and am appalled that this company forced me to pay an additional $25 to rent a vehicle that is somewhat energy efficient. It's not the money per se, it's just bad business. Normally, other car rental companies apologize that they don't have the type of vehicle you rented and they make it right by upgrading you. I will never rent from Fox ever again!

    Do not rent from Fox Rent A Car, they take advantage of customers. Check your rental agreement before signing anything. They do not call you back, nor respond to your request, unless something happens to the vehicle. I rented a car from Fox in Las Vegas on 3/24/24 for a two day rental, the rental was $40 for two days. I told the agent that I have my own insurance and did not want theirs. He added the insurance in and told me to sign here, here and here and pick any car from lot 6. That agent did not explain anything to me when it came to the insurance, but he said okay when I said I have my own insurance and did not want theirs and then he said okay. He flat-out lied, if this is the way Fox Rent-A-Car does business, it is very unprofessional and rude.

    The insurance cost me $13.98 for roadside assistance, $34.00 for rental liability and $61.98 for loss damage waiver totaling $109.96 that I did not need because I have rental coverage and roadside assistance. I spoke with the billing department and they do not understand your complaint and always say “I’m sorry for the inconvenience but unfortunately…”.

The representative there said there was nothing he could do for us because we were past the pick up time for the vehicle. I told him the person I talked to yesterday was supposed to make a note on my account that our flight was delayed. They did not. I sent this representative proof of my cancellation and have not received any notification from them.

I believe the employees were mad about trying to give us a car with ** smell in it. The evidence Fox Rental produced was pictures of small white particles that was probably sand and a small amount of what could have been cigarette ashes deep down in a door crevice that could have been there for weeks. There is no way I should have been charged $428 to vacuum out the SUV. The company refuses to reimburse any of the $428. I believe they are charging me to clean the first SUV that had ** smoke in it.

He apparently cancelled the original reservation and credit a new one in my name rather than my husband's name in which the original reservation was set. Conveniently the printer was broken and they were running out of cars so the representative stated, "Don't worry. I'll email you the contract. Hurry over to the garage so you can get a car."

    When I returned the car they could not find my reservation but the representative stated, '"Don't worry. We can scan the car and I'll email you a receipt," because once again the printer was not working. When my credit card statement came in it was $200+ more that my original rental agreement - what kind of deal was the representative giving me except for a bait and switch scam. I called the billing depart twice on 1/21 and 1/22 and spoke with Sam, Grace and Andrea B who could not resolve my issue but states they would research it and e-mail me in 3-4 days.

    I want to share my negative experience with Fox Rental Cars after booking through Expedia. In most cases if you pay for something that you never receive that is considered fraud or thievery. Apparently that is not the standard for Fox Rental Cars and Expedia as they happily keep your money but deny your service. Let me explain.

    I booked and paid for the rental online through Expedia. When I arrived at the Fox Rental Cars in Seattle, they told me there was a $150 deposit required for incidentals. When I went to pay I was denied using the card as it was a debit not a credit card - something I was unaware of it being an issue, especially since I paid for the rental on debit. As I don’t use credit cards often, the only credit card I had with me was expired. The clerk said I could get my refund through Expedia and offered the solution that both Avis and Budget allowed for debit cards. We then went to Avis and had a great experience with them.

    In an attempt to get my refund, I opened a claim with Expedia as they are who I bo
