Optimo Rent at Orlando Airport

Pros: I liked the fact that they were quick to take me to the airpirt. Too quick. Didnt check over the car. Just charged me a $50 fee. Called and "no ones available" they rushed me so quick out of my rental car, I hope I didnt forget anything.

Cons: I waited 45 min longer after my flight at the airport because the driver of the bus I was supposed to be in told me no. Didnt look at his list or anything. I called 3 dif numbers and finally someone answered. What do ya know... The same bus driver. Get there and they want to charge me an additional $150.. Whatever. Signed up for it. Now, I get a charge of $50 and they wont even answer the phones. So, what should have cost me $200 ended up costing me over $400. What a joke.

Pros: They were very fast in taking us back to the airport

Cons: I rented this car on line.When it was time to get picked up from airport they wouldn't answer the calls finally they answered it took them 2 hour o pick us up.Then when we got there the representative told us that Orlando was full of tolls and that we needed to purchase a toll insurance .One was 14.95 a day the next one was 19.00 a day for unlimited. He said I recommended the unlimited because when I come from my house go through 9 tollsThere was only 2 tolls we came across.Not helpful

Pros: You should not be allowed to rent cars. Your customer service is poor and not willing to help. You steal from me $653.26 and left my family at the airport. I was traveling with handicap people. This is not over yet. You are going to hear more from me.

Cons: You need to return my money as soon as you read this review. It is not fair you steal money from people who do not receive any service.

Pros: Good running, fuel efficient car

Cons: Bait & Switch Tactic-forced me to purchase (which more than doubled my rental) for their insurance or i was left with no rental in a manufacturing district. This puts myself and other families in a very difficult and scary situation. Absolutely the worst experience i have ever had renting a vehicle in my 40 yrs renting cars. I was forced to pay the extra $235 or be stuck there. Feel free to contact me on this, as i will be submitting neg reviews and contacting the BBB later this week.

Pros: They were attentive to my arrival and were very clear with the Information

Pros: not one good thing to say about this company

Cons: hidden fees, horrible customer service, this company is a total scam

Pros: Surprise regarding insurance. Cost me lot more than quotes. When at rental office agent given me a choice to cancel the reservation, but by that time I was already 30 mins away from airport and getting last min reservations was not possible

Pros: Nothing. This is a scam company. I did not follow through with the rental but my friend who did received a car that broke down on her 2x over the course of 5 days.

Cons: Complete scam. They tell everyone they don't have sufficient insurance coverage and then try to bully you into paying more before you're allowed to rent. I walked away and I'm glad I did! My friend (who had half a million personal insurance) paid more and then they car she rented broke down 2x.

Pros: Absolutely nothing

Cons: Your insurance choices leave the consumer stuck to buy yours. I could have rented a car 1/2 the cost of yours.

Pros: The car itself.

Cons: Forced to take out extra insurance even thoughI had a copy and proof of my own insurance coverage. I am renting cars in Florida for years and Never had this problem in the past!!!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything, horrible customer service. They keep taking money out of my account with no explanation and won’t send me a “recipt” for the charges. They now have ignored my calls and won’t answer me, I’ve text them multiple times no answer. Never will I rent from this company again.

Cons: When we got there we were hit with a bunch of fees that I was unaware of. 16 dollars a day to rent the ez pass or receive a 25 fee for every toll we went through. If I knew this I would have went with another company. The address to drop off the car was confusing also. Would not use this company again.

Pros: nothing

Cons: the unadvertised fees.

Pros: Cars very clean

Pros: Nothing!

Cons: Unprofessional. I never got a rental.

Cons: Hidden fees, never received any documentation or receipts for car rental

Pros: Ease of the whole process

Pros: There is no service offered only stealing money from customers

Cons: Which service you talking about you destroyed my vacation

Pros: Good

Cons: A charge was made on my card when account showed all charges have been made

Pros: Cancelled my car hire, due to their offices being closed when we landed due to delay. Left contact number with attendant who said they would contact with another car. However this wasn’t the case. They were extremely unhelpful and happy to take my money for a service I had payed for without providing the service.

Cons: The entire experience was appalling. The level of service was absolutely shocking. I will never be using their service again

Pros: Nothing - they provided me with no car at all and left me stranded at the airport.

Cons: Pretty much everything.

Pros: They pick you up at the airport, after that when you are at their place, they start scam you with their insurance and others additional fees which 3 times expensive their show price online, whatever online price you see at the beginning is bait. That how they try to get you.

Cons: they are scam, even thought phone representative said there is no addition cost for using your own insurance, they are lying and all additional hiding cost is triple.

Pros: Nice online booking experience.

Cons: Absolutely won't rent from Optimo again. I provided them my personal insurance card proviging insurance as well as my Chase Sapphite covering rental as well as liability insurance. They charged me 12-13 bucks per day as charge for not buying their insurance. I have been renting cars for last 20 years and had never paid a dime for insurance as my personal insurance or car insurance covered it. Horrible experience. I am disputing both the charges with the credit card company. Thanks.

Pros: Scamers! Rip off

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Horrible horrible horrible experience. Hidden charges.

Cons: They are forcing to take their insurance. Horrible horrible horrible experience. I will not recommend this to my enemy also.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Unprofessional and crazy hidden extras that were not essential. I would have cancelled there and then had I not had a 10 month old and late at night and booked with another company. Will never use them again.

Pros: Everything was very easy, honest people, very clean car, very beautiful car, I like this company and high recommend

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Beware, this company is a scam. They took my payment for a full week rental, but did not provide a vehicle. The time for rental defaulted to noon. I called multiple times to confirm our arrival time throughout the day of rental. No one ever answered. When I arrived to rent the car they claimed I was too late so they gave away my vehicle. I was stuck at the airport with 2 toddlers and no car. They refused to refund my payment. Pay the small amount extra to use a legitimate car rental company!

Pros: They never provided me with a car. They left my family and I stranded at the airport when we arrived and made excuses that turned out later to be lies.

Cons: They confirmed the reservation and then lied about the pickup time and availability of cars.

Pros: Friendliness of staff, pristine car

Cons: Uncertainty of shuttle from the airport to off-site

Cons: They charged me for more car insurance.

Cons: Pickup process is contrary to description in DiscoverCars.com's voucher and took much longer than standard rental car companies . They provide no documentation on their "mandatory" fees, which were not disclosed until the invoice before getting the keys. Their drop-off process was unprofessional-they provided no paperwork documenting the end of the transaction and had their driver take us to the airport in the same car, meaning I had no control over what happened to car afterwards.

Pros: Nothing! It was awful.

Cons: Same as above. A bunch of crooks!

Cons: The car rented to me had expired tags. I was pulled over 3 times because of it. When they ran the tags, they didnt even register to the car I was in.

Pros: On line information was accurate paper work was quick

Cons: The pick up time at the airport had to call to get a pick up

Pros: Very friendly and fast drop off

Cons: A little slow checking in and I already owned a transponder for the Florida toll roads but they said that I couldn’t use it because their cars were already registered with the toll roads so I would have to drive on non toll roads which I didn’t think was fair

Pros: I thought they were convinient and nice and they add all these hiddens fees and add a deposit to whicj they dont tell you. Unsatisfied with their service. Still arguing with them about charges on ny card

Pros: me gusto la relacion costo del vehículo y la facilidad para adquirir el servicio

Cons: la demora que tuve en el aeropuerto de Orlando para ser recogido.. y tener que llamar para que me garantizaran el servicio

Pros: Nothing actually, the car was extremely dirty and such a small car for 7 seater.

Pros: affordable & clean Car

Cons: off site location & the toll road policy is a scam if your not staying in orlando, we drove & stayed all week in jacksonville

Pros: nothing

Cons: Additional fee

Pros: The car rental.

Cons: 1 - The wait time spent at airport for optima. We waited almost 2 hours. First call lady answered and said 5 minutes (totally lied) it took almost 2 hours. We called multiple numbers NOBODY would answer us. 2 - VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. The car itself was clean and good condition. Need better organization. Prices are good but still need to organize better and not let customer wait for almost 2 hours at airport.

Pros: They were quick to pick us up at the airport, friendly, and return to the airport was quick. No waiting!

Cons: They sold me on activating the EZ pass which I did not need so I paid $50 for nothing. Use the " no tolls" routing on google maps and you will bypass toll roads.

Cons: Bad attitude and not working with me on how to get directions to my destination, I was sent to the wrong direction to pay tolls and charge me for every toll I pass even if I went through the cash lanes.

Pros: Fraudulent company…Reported to our bank and will follow up with Better Business Bureau. We were Charged for a car we did not receive because of scams involved.This will not be a charge we pay.

Pros: Absolutely nothing. The worse experience ever

Pros: We originally rented a sedan and since not available they gave is an SUV

Cons: The rep told us he would drop us off at the airport even after hours and he didn’t. They took the keys and shut the door and left us to fin for themselves and it was raining outside. Maria was heartless. Had to call an Uber to pick us up.

Pros: The cleanliness of the car

Cons: Everything was okay but still waiting on my $200 deposit.

Pros: Again, still waiting for someone to respond to the numerous attempts to contact anyone from the organization. Worst experience ever

Cons: My flight was canceled and I needed to change my reservation. Impossible to gat anyone to respond. Never even got the car and got charged for it just the same. RIDICULOUS

Pros: Nothing

Cons: We had to pay a total of $600 in hidden fees

Pros: Nothing

Cons: slow pick up.and customer service was awful

Pros: The actual car was perfect! The car was clean. Had power and handling. Was comfortable. Had very good gas milage. I would purchase that make model year of vehicle if i needed a new vehicle. Loved the car!

Cons: Prepaid $400 weeks in advance. Was told i needed another $200insurance (even though my insurance covers all vehicles i drive), then an additional $200 security deposit, while im standing in the office. I was upset in a anxiety/panic attack kind of way. Solo female flew 5hrs from CA to FL and was 2hrs from my hotel and had no transportation. The staff was cold and spoke to me as if i was stupid. No shuttle to train. No bathroom. No compasion. Didnt speak to me at all on dropoff. RUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros: Quick return process.

Cons: The sun pass scam you have going on.

Pros: Nothing scam

Cons: Nothing scam

Pros: Nothing

Cons: They left my family and I stranded in the airport for hours just to later notify us that they didn't have a car for us which was a complete lie. They were rude and very unprofessional.

Pros: The customer service number to ask for a shuttle went to voicemail so I had to Google to find a number to just leave the airport. Once there, the representative was extremely rude, would not except my insurance and required me to purchase their insurance. They said they would pull the car around but failed to let me know when they did this even through we were standing outside waiting. Extremely short and rude employees!

Pros: Nothing felt like I was scammed

Cons: Not truthful about rates. Added nearly $200 to the rental once we got there. Tried to cancel the reservation once I discovered the hours of operation because our flight left 4 hours before they opened. Was offered a credit for future rental as a refund. Very stressful experience trying to make our flight. We arrived as they were closing the door. Took nearly 2 hours to find a lot to park the car and get shuttled to the airport. Your company should be ashamed for the service we received.

Cons: Hidden fees for insurance and $1000 deposit

Pros: fast

Cons: made me buy unneeded insurance after showing proof of my own coverage

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The price

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

Pros: Nothing. You couldn't speak with anyone..No direct number. Very frustrating!!!

Cons: They told us they would be back in 10 minutes to pick us up at airport. Did not come back for an hour. Totally lied to us!!

Pros: I didn’t.

Cons: They kept trying to sneak fees in and did not share that if you purchase their insurance you did not need a very high priced $1000 deposit.

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: Waited hours for the shuttle and they do not pick up the phone when you call them to be picked up. I called over 50x and I’m stranded at the airport with no shuttle to the place to get my rental. When they come no one speaks English to tell me if that’s where I need to go. So unprofessional and so many charges they don’t tell you until you got there.

Pros: The car was nice. Even though it was not registered under a business? And the car on our rental agreement is not the SUV we had....fishy??

Cons: Option rent/jc car rental is a disaster. We sat at the airport waiting to be picked up for 2 hours. Called for shuttle was told would be 20 minutes. The car we rented was late being returned. Then 45 minutes later another call the car was wrecked and they didn't have a replacement. After 2 hours we got 2 small cars and was told to swap the next day for large SUV. They met us in Ormond Beach to swap which was nice. Sun pass was sold to us for $325 no tolls requested cancel. Fighting for refund

Pros: None

Cons: The deposit is ridiculous.

Cons: THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM! They don't reimburse you for anything, so many hidden fees, DO NOT RENT!

Pros: Nothing. the cheat clients and have hidden costs everywhere

Cons: I didn´t like client service, I didn´t like the way they cheat customers and I didn´t like the way the try to win market share.

Pros: I did not like anything about optimo rent.

Cons: I didn’t like anything about optimo rent.

Pros: Service was fine.

Cons: I had to pay or insurance I already had with my private insurance company. Also, I had to pay $15.99/day for a toll pass. I found out the toll pass is a one time charge of 19.99.

Pros: Helpful and professional.

Cons: Once I chose to rent from them I received multiple updates and needed to pay a lot more per day for their insurance. I have never had to do that before but by the time we are there and they won't accept my documentation then I didn't have a choice but to pay for their insurance. It was just not something I have ever had to do before when renting a car. I have no idea why I paid the extra online then had to pay more when I got there.

Pros: No hassles to speak of.

Cons: Pick up from the airport was delayed a long time but driver is to be commended for his calm and courteous attitude.

Cons: The phone numbers given to me were not always in operation when I arrived and I had to wait 2 hours before I got the transfer to the rental agency

Pros: Nothing. Absolute crooks. Wouldn't trust them with my card information

Cons: Everything. Horrible people, horrible service.

Pros: They were really very nice when I picked up the car. It's in a trailer, but don't let deter you. Small operation, but good

Cons: Need to service the car better. Had a cheek maintenance sign on the screen the whole time and there was no fluid in the wiper.

Pros: nothing

Cons: dirty auto bold unsafe tires agent spoke very little English very long wait for airport pickup no direct phone number for airport pickup

Pros: Nothing

Cons: see the above comments

Pros: None it was fraudulent

Cons: None it was fraudulent

Pros: The car rental company's counter is JC car rental instead Optimo

Cons: Very very bad. When I found that the car rental counter was ont Optimo but JC， I contacted Optimo by phone several times,and it was hung up when no one answered or connected.

Pros: The initial price of the rental

Cons: Our mishandled pickup at the airport; them trying to give us a lesser car than we initially rented; the exorbitant price they charged for a toll tag (which we felt we had to purchase after they told us that it would cost us $25 each time we went through a toll, even if we paid cash - not sure if that was true); the long wait to be taken back to the airport, and not being dropped off at our terminal; finding that our credit card had been charged a foreign transaction fee for the rental;
