About The Site

What: RentalCarComplaints.com is a free resource for information about rental car companies from the people who have dealt with them.

Why: The site was born out of frustration. At some point nearly all of us have to rent a car and more often then not it's a miserable experience. Long lines, rude customer service, hidden charges. It doesn't have to be like this.
