Magic Rent-A-Car

Shady. Long story short we stopped to inquire about a car rental. They wanted a $ 700 cash deposit to rent a car. This place didn’t feel right. We left.

So sad. So humiliating, The worst business ever. Prepare to enter into the alternate reality of desert scumbags.
Horrible customer service. Atrocious rates. Worst ever office.
The car I rented had 150k miles, and they charged me $ 50/​day, NOT including tax nor insurance. In total, it was $ 80/​day, for a crap 200x Toyota Corolla with hardly any air conditioning remaining. My two poor kids were sweating all throughout the trip. And yes, the engine light was on during the whole trip.
Do yourself a favor, just stay away from this place.
This has been the worst experience ever, in the past few years. I secretly apologize to my family on a daily basis for exposing them to this experience.

Wow! What a scam!
I misplaced my drivers license while traveling home from Maui so I had brought a passport, copy of my license, etc hoping to rent a car at Payless Rent a Car. They sent me to magic.
This guy changed the rate from what he quoted when I was at Payless, then he asked for proof of my insurance which i gave to him and then said, well you still have to buy full coverage it’s the law. He pointed at a sign on the wall about renting with a debit card, i told him i’m not renting with a debit card and he said, i don’t care you have to buy it.
it was dirty, the lights were off, they were lying and cheating. I left. The card I took said his name was Raymond.
Stay away, stay away, stay away!
