Rental was very clean and very nice. Only hiccup was that we were a day late with our travel bc of the cyclone and they’d moved the car to another lot and I had to sort of find the car on my own. But, everyone was super helpful and friendly. Just a bit confusing bc of the pickup issue

It was easy pick up and drop off. The price was great. The car was clean and roomy. Loved that it was a hybrid!
The pricing at Acer Car Rental is unclear compared to other car rental companies. My boyfriend initially thought we secured a deal for $660. However, we had to purchase additional insurance for $118.05 to avoid a $4,999 liability in case of any damage to the car. We were also charged $180 for dropping the car off at a different location, which unexpectedly increased to $211.74 upon pick-up due to a "service fee." Additionally, a $479.99 bond was required at pick-up, which, frustratingly, has not been returned even five days after we dropped off the car. In total, the costs amounted to $989.79 plus the $479.99 bond, making this a far cry from the initial $660 deal we anticipated. In conclusion, I find Acer Car Rental to be speculative in its practices, operating without professionalism or good faith.
Great from start to finish. Even though offsite there were no problems with pick up or drop off. Particular mention for our shuttle driver who was extremely friendly and professional and a great representative for your company. Very good value for money.
