I rented a Lexus IS in San Francisco from Wheelz.com. It stated it was $50 a day, which seemed OK at the time.

The site failed to mention that the car had 175,000 miles on it, had warning lights on, was disgusting inside and it couldn't drive in a straight line. I didn't feel safe in the car at all while on the highway. They also failed to mention that you had to find street parking for the car, which was a nightmare in the middle of the city. 

They also make it seem like you get free fuel, like Zip-Car. I filled up the tank though, and they still charged me $50 for gas! Why?! Of course, thats a hidden fee in the long "terms and conditions". 

Overall, avoid Wheelz.com. They take 50%, so car owners have to charge a lot to make money. All of the cars are horribly over-priced.

Wheelz.com competitors:

A (((REDACTED)): I rented a new Toyota for $24 a day with unlimited miles allowed
Z (((REDACTED))): $90 a day with unlimited gas and 180 miles max.

There are much better options out there. Wheelz.com will be out of business soon anyways. 
sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company your comments on this policy are welcome!
