|Jan 2025Tried to upsell insurance requirements. Hidden fees.

|Nov 2024They didn’t send a shuttle driver for over an hour, even though we called 5 times! On the fifth call, we were told that they didn’t even have the vehicle we reserved because we didn’t pre pay it. So, we went to Budget instead. The Ace rental office in Maui is absolutely terrible and I would suggest that you no longer represent them, as 4 other couples were having problems with being picked up at the same as us. Truly awful experience and wasted an hour and a half of our Hawaiian vacation.

|Mar 2023Not aware of office hours before booking! They closed at 430, we landed at 530. couldn't get car until next day, I told office ahead of time that we wouldn't be there until next morning and when we arrived they said they canceled our car because no show. Very displeased, poor customer service. Had to zoom call and dealt with someone in CA. Workers in actual office were very nice and helpful, but not the "manager" in CA. Never again will I use them.

|Mar 2023Excellent customer service-Really helpful and friendly. I arrived early but check in staff worked with me to get me a vehicle right then. I appreciated that very much! Th woman at the counter was great! Drop off was so easy and the employee I dealt with there was a 10/10! Shuttle to airport was ready and waiting and the shuttle driver was also a 10/10! This is the second time I’ve used Ace and I am now sure I will be a regular customer when I travel to Maui.

|Aug 2023Hard sell on the upsell. Price almost doubled when they said I needed the mandatory insurance. Charged extra for my wife. Who charges for family members. Checkin was a nightmare with all the high pressure sales tactics.

|Aug 2022The person at the counter was a bit too chatty, took him a white to be done with a customer before us, discussing things unrelated to the car rental. People arriving late, having spent 6 hours on the plane, want to get to their lodging as soon as possible. Other than that a fairly easy and smooth process, appreciated an upgrade.

|Jul 2022We had easy pickup and drop-off. We upgraded to a convertible since there was a discount and I wanted to use one for our trip, but as soon as we agreed to the vehicle I feel like the representative stopped listening and didn’t answer a number of questions my husband and I had. She was like, “It’s fine, just get in, just get in!” Everything worked out in the end but it made the initial experience more stressful than necessary. If upgrades and deals are offered for very different names/models/sizes at the counter, some time should be allotted for customers to feel comfortable with their decision.

|Mar 2022Just if someone had explained that the credit card would be charged for holds for 5 to 7 days afterwards, that would’ve been nice.

|Jan 2023O dropped off at a different location and they put the wrong address on the rental agreement for drop off. I went to the location on the agreement and the place was closed. When I tried to call to get the correct address, the employee gave me the same wrong address and told me to just drive around and look for it. She was not at the location and said she wasn’t familiar with it, but also couldn’t transfer me to anyone who worked there.

|Jun 2022I chose the main airport OGG and my pickup and drop off was at the Kapalua airport. I believe it was Kayak’s fault, not mine or National.

|Nov 2021Check in and out was great. Vehicle was in terrible shape with lots of scratches and dents. Front bumper was damage and was hanging down. Car smelled musty from probably wet carpet. Glad I took video before leaving because they accused me of damaging the step.
