One point is too much.

One point is too much. The booking was cancelled four days before our arrival in Iceland after it had been okay for more than 7 months. No car available? What? Completely unacceptable. Please be very careful who you do business with. There are many better alternatives at Kevlavik.

Dear Mr. Mueller,

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to have a reservation that had been confirmed for several months cancelled only a few days before your arrival.

This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers, and we would like to understand what happened with your reservation and why a vehicle was no longer available so close to your trip.

Please contact us at info@streetrentacar.com with your booking reference so our team can review the case with the local provider and follow up with you directly.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disruption this caused to your travel plans.

Kind regards,
Street Rent A Car Team

Very bad experience!!

Very bad experience!!
We frequently rent cars and this is the first time we've encountered such problems. This agency is not recommended!

Firstly, we paid an extra €25/day for insurance even though we had already paid for insurance when we booked.

Upon returning the vehicle, we were shocked to discover that driving on certain roads in the country was prohibited. This information was never clearly explained to us when we picked up the vehicle. We drove on these roads in good faith, without imagining we were breaking any specific rules.
In Albania, all the roads are in poor condition, even the main roads (enormous potholes). All tourists who come to Albania visit Lake Bovilla, as it's a must-see. Once you start driving there, there are no signs indicating that the road is in bad condition, and it becomes impossible to turn back.

We later learned that the vehicle was equipped with a GPS, which was clearly used to track our movements, resulting in an additional charge of €300 because we had used this particular road. This was actually the first thing the rental agent told us—it seems to be the standard response for everyone returning a car to this agency! While this clause is indeed in the contract, it is printed in very small type and without any clear explanation or explicit warning.

I find this practice deeply misleading and tantamount to a form of commercial fraud: such important information, entailing such high costs, should be clearly brought to the client's attention before departure, and not hidden in the fine print of a contract.
That’s why it’s a very bad experience!

Dear Julie,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration, particularly regarding the additional charges and the restrictions on where the vehicle could be driven.

We take your concerns seriously. Important rental conditions and driving restrictions should be clearly communicated so customers can make informed decisions and avoid unexpected situations during their rental.

We would like to review your specific case with the local team, including the insurance purchased, the information provided at pickup, and the additional charge applied after the vehicle was returned.

Please contact us at info@streetrentacar.com with your booking reference and details so we can investigate the situation thoroughly and follow up with you directly.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Too expensive and too stressful

I will try to describe our experience as clearly as possible, although the dissatisfaction is still with us even 3 days after.

I made the reservation over a month in advance, and I clearly remember selecting a pick-up time at 22:00 and return at 13:00 after two weeks. I had to make the reservation twice because the first payment failed. During the first booking, I remember adding a baby seat, and I don’t understand why it was not included in the second reservation, especially since the price was the same.

I also believe the pick-up time in my reservation was changed automatically because I entered my arrival time as 22:00. However, shortly before arrival I was informed that my reservation showed a pick-up time at 11:00, and I was charged an additional 40 euros for late pick-up.

We were traveling with our very active 3-year-old son, arriving late at night after a long flight. No one was waiting for us at the airport as expected, and after calling, we saw the representative arriving with a larger car, which at first seemed like an upgrade, but the back red light was broken. We had to drive to the rental office to change the car, which caused more delay and stress.

At the office, we were informed that we could not use our card unless we purchased their insurance for about 250 euros, even though we already had travel insurance that included car rental coverage. On top of this, we were charged additional fees: 50 euros for an extra driver, 60 euros for a baby seat, 40 euros for late pick-up, and 100 euros cash deposit! And I already paid for reservations over 150euros!

The replacement car we finally received also had issues — the front wipers were damaged and scratched the windshield when used. Although we were told not to worry, this made us feel uncomfortable and stressed throughout the rental period.

Overall, the process was stressful, confusing, and much more expensive than expected. Because of this experience, we will not use Discovery Cars again and will avoid renting from Street Rent a Car in the future.

Complete Scam in Mendoza Airport

I booked a car for the Mendoza airport in Argentina for the 26th of December of 2025. Upon arrival, I found out that they don't have an office in the airport. Second, it was impossible to reach client service, the phone number provided is not working. In summary, a complete scam. I ended up having to book with Avis / Budget at a much larger cost than expected. My recommendation is not using this company.

Awfull service BE VERY AWARE!
We hired a car with STREETs cars in Orlando booked for 19:00. We arrived at 19:45 (due to the wrong information given on how to find the transfer bus and how to find STREETs "office").

We arrived at 19:45 but due to there being only 1 person at the desk (we were next in line) and taking 45 minutes to sort them out, we missed a 1 hour deadline (that was not disclosed) and so the price went up 250%.

A dispicable practice

We landed in Salta with our voucher and invoice to be told the booking had been cancelled and they didn’t have any cars. I rechecked emails and my booking via the link given and the booking was still showing as valid. The phone numbers given with the booking and by the girl in the office didn’t work. The girl refused to try and call the office for us or help in any way.
I would say never use this company ever.

Bait and Switch Stay Far Away

This place is a flat out scam easily identified as a bait and switch, don’t rent from this company. I rented a car for my wife to use while she was visiting family in Tampa Bay. I used Priceline who forwarded me to “GoRentalCars.com” I paid $245.00 and selected to use my own insurance. The trouble began when my wife arrived and right away noticed a lot of unhappy customers. There was one agent free and when she approached her my wife was told that she was only helping customers without a reservation and my wife would have to go to the other agent who was busy having a conversation with another customer who was obviously unhappy. Even though she was next in line, it took her over an hour to get to the counter to be served. She showed the voucher from GoRental and then was told that she needed to provide proof of insurance. My wife’s insurance app wasn’t working for her so she called me I knew she would need proof of coverage and collision but was totally unprepared for what happened next. The agent told me my collision coverage was acceptable but instead of the state minimum I would need $300,000 liability. I have rented cars all over the world and this was the first time I had ever heard of any rental place asking for this. I asked the agent why they required liability at all especially 3 times what the law required she said that it was policy. Here is where the bait and switch comes in - she said they would be more than happy to cover the difference with their supplemental insurance which was only $75 a day with a $300.00 deposit. That is crazy, who would pay that? I told my wife to step away from the counter to a place we can talk.

Thankfully I had used a third party app to arrange the rental so I called GoRental.com who, I want to say, did the best they could do with this situation. Their agent told me that the requirements were on the voucher. I told her that I saw the requirements and thought I met them I told her they said my collision was okay but for some reason they wanted 300,000 liability which of course I don’t have without it they wanted an extra $75 a day plus a $300.00 deposit. She read the requirements and told me that I was right they were not on the voucher. I told her I wanted a full refund and after talking to her manager they agreed to do that. I hate to think about what would have happened if I hadn’t used the third party, I probably would not have gotten a refund.
My wife noticed a lot of people leaving upset and talked to another customer who also complained about insurance. I am going to do what I should have done the first time, call Enterprise or Hertz. Never again will I use a travel app to book a rental car.

I used the Street rental company in…Marrakesh. Deniz Tours

I used the Street rental company in Marrakesh. Deniz Tours. Scammers, They charge for the debit card under some pretext (they said our credit card is not working but is was not thrue). They tried to extort extra money for imaginary damages. Also for cleaning the car. They cheat on everything. Why doesn't DiscoverCars remove them from the offer. There are tons of similar reviews about them on the internet.

“Economy Bookings & Street Rent a Car: Failure to Deliver Paid Service”

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the rental car service I recently experienced, booked through Economy Bookings and handled by Street Rent a car.

Despite having a confirmed booking and fully paid rental (including insurance), I lost a total of £170 due to an incredibly rigid and poorly managed service. My flight was delayed by just 15 minutes, which caused me to arrive slightly later than anticipated. Upon arrival, I found the rental office completely closed, with no representatives or instructions available.

I’ve tried calling on the support number that was given on the voucher but no answer, so after 45 minutes I’ve decided to leave. When I contacted ‘Street Rent a car’ the following morning, I was told that they typically allow a 1-hour grace period for delays, but in this case, there were no cars available due to overbooking — a practice that should never occur when bookings are confirmed.

This situation is completely unacceptable. Not only was I pressured through multiple emails to buy insurance, but in the end, I was left stranded late at night, with no car, no support, and no refund. This experience was both frustrating and financially damaging.

SCAM - Street Rent a Car Malta

Booked a car to pick up on 20th April for 10 days for myself and my 6 year old boy. I've rented cars for years and have never had such a bad experience.
Upon collection I was told that I had 2 options. Either I pay an additional €295 to bring the deposit held on my card down to €400, or I pay around €1200 in order to bring the security deposit down to £0. I explained that nowhere on the terms and conditions state I need to select this and if it is mandatory then why is this extra charge not included in the price at the time of booking. I also explained that I was more than happy for the full security hold of €1400 to be placed on my credit card and that I was happy for any damages to be paid from this, however they refused to release the car to me unless I chose either of their options.

Having read other reviews, I suspect that they may have overbooked and were trying to put me off taking the car I had booked.

I could not afford to pay the additional costs and they refused to give me a refund so I got in touch with STREET RENT A CAR who got in touch with the Malta office and they LIED and said that I refused to put the security deposit on my card so they gave me 2 other options which I declined.
This left me having to use public transport to travel to and to get around Gozo.

This company also use the name SURPRICE, CARGINI, CARWIZ and NEXACAR. PLEASE DO NOT USE!!!!

BOOKING NOT HONURED

We made a confirmed booking for both a van and a car with Street Rent A Car for our Easter holidays back in January. The full payment was made at the time of booking, and we received a confirmation email verifying that our reservation was secured.

Upon our arrival at Malta International Airport, we proceeded to the Street Rent A Car office. When we got there, we were met with a long queue of visibly frustrated customers, and even police presence on site. After waiting for approximately an hour, it was finally our turn to be served. However, the representative, who was both rude and dismissive, informed us that neither of our reserved vehicles were available.

Despite showing proof of our confirmed January booking, we were told there was nothing they could do and were advised to seek rental vehicles elsewhere. This was completely unacceptable, especially considering we were traveling with two infants and two elderly family members. We weren’t alone in this – there were at least 10 other customers facing the same issue. It became clear the company had significantly overbooked and was failing to honor confirmed reservations.

Eventually, we were told that a vehicle might be available, but only if we agreed to pay a mandatory insurance fee of €60 per day – a charge that was never mentioned anywhere on our rental confirmation or voucher.

In our attempts to find alternative transportation, we contacted other rental companies at the airport, but due to the busy holiday period, no suitable vehicles were available. We were further informed by others that such practices are common with this company, which operates under multiple brand names from the same office, including Street Rent A Car, Surprice, Carwiz, Cargini, and Nexacar.

We have since filed a complaint with the Malta Civil Aviation Authority (MCAA), the Malta Airport, and the local police. It is deeply disappointing and unfair to confirm a reservation, take payment, and then fail to provide the service – ultimately ruining our holiday. With no other choice, we had to return to the terminal and take a taxi, which was a disheartening start to what was supposed to be a joyful family holiday.
