Rent-A-Wreck

Most disgusting car I have ever been in. Cigarette holes in the seats, stains, spilled liquids, hair and smelled horrible. The car vibrated the entire time I drove it. I am beyond digested with this company.

I spoke to a gentleman on the phone, and he was extremely rude to me about my reservation. That should have been my first clue that this was not a good establishment. The truck I rented was a piece of crap. The lights barely worked, which was a problem since it was pouring outside. The truck was so old that I thought a piece of it was going to bust off from all the pot holes. I know from the name that I shouldn’t expect a brand new car, but I did expect a vehicle with working features. Spend the extra money and just go with a reputable brand like Enterprise or Uhaul.

I like these folks a lot. I rent from them a couple dozen times a year whenever our business needs an extra truck. It’s true that their fleet is cosmetically challenged, but, in 10 years of using their trucks for both local and long distance we’ve never had a problem. Most importantly though their staff in both East Brunswick (Patty & Kenya) and Sayerville (Carlos) are always beyond accommodating. We continue to choose Rent a Wreck entirely because of their service even though Enterprise has matched their rates for us.

Wow… i got promises of a car, but I ended up with a truck!
Let me back up — I wanted an alternative to the $ 56/​day car rental from Enterprise and thought an older car @$ 25/​day would be fine. However, WAR’s owner, Carl, started me with a Ford F150 (with no fuel) with a promise to get me a car the next day. «The truck will be in the car park and the door will be unlocked and the keys in the sun visor.» That should’ve been a sign of a shady operation!
The next day came and I was offered a Ford Taurus. But with a hole in the rear fender the size of a football…“it’s legal,” said Nelson. He jokingly added, «You could drive a car with no doors and it’s fine!» I think he was joking. But then the car had no a/​c. And it’s 90 °F in NJ with humidity. And this week it hit 109 °F!!
I am a foreigner, but I’m not a sucker. I kept the truck as it was 3pm on a Sunday and all the other places (Thrify across the street) were closed. I thought Rent a Wreck was ironic, but it seems not. If you want a piece of junk, come here.
The key folks to make promises and don’t deliver anything but grief are:
Carl — owner
Carlos –General Manager
Nelson — the store assistant
