Beware of these scam artist and always check your credit card as their $300 deposit policy is more than meets the eye.   When you get to the front you will here, "we are placing an additional $300 hold on your credit card".  Fair enough, but I always wondered, if I wanted to steal or damage your car, what good is $300, but I digress.  Read their Yelp Reviews, 1.4 stars 2/11.

In February 4th I rented a car from Ace Rent A Car. The total with taxes was $30 per day.  I had an 8 day rental.  My total was $250ish  6 days later I checked my credit card and the same amount that the agent said would be credited back to me after 3 days is still on my Am Ex card.  The $250+ charge turned into 3 charges that totaled $744.   With Am Ex, always call to dispute they are your first line of defense.  I call Ace and they sent me to the corporate offices.  Well guess what, corporate does not communicate with the branches so they could not look up my information.  Then I try calling the local branch and their phones are too busy on a Thursday morning to pick up.   

What is going on here?  Their extra charge, caused my travel card to go over the limit.  Guess what an additional $30 charge.  

I simply want them to take accountabilty, return my funds and provide me a $30 statement credit for causing my card to go over the limit.  

You can save a dollar by going with these guys, but the headache and fees are not worth the $25 savings.  Try a trusted name, these guys have customer service issues and will not be around long at this rate.  Very disappointed.
