Simply wheelz?

**Dana** · 04-13-2008

Has anyone use this car rental place? I had to cancel my original car rental cause my trip dates changed. I keep coming up with this place called Simply Wheelz. They are apparently partnered with Hertz...you use hertz's shuttle to get to them. They are the cheapest rental I have seen yet and I am looking for some feedback about them. Cheaper isn't always better if the place totally stinks. The rental charge in full for 8 days in August is $132.90...that's lower than my 7 day rental with Thrifty. Anyone know of these people? They have to be new...they were not there the first time I started looking for rentals.

**ddoll** · 04-13-2008

Wow Dana. Never heard of them but I want to hear the answer now too.

**Dopey** · 04-13-2008

google it and find out if there's something up with them or if they're ok

Grumpy_Medic · 04-13-2008

Yup that is what they give you...Simply wheels! You have to supply the chasis. Dunno sounds sketchy, but google is a wonderful tool. Can't say i have ever seen them down there, and did not see them offerred in WDW resorts.

**Dana** · 04-13-2008

I booked it. I read through ...can't find anythingnegative just yet, but will keep my eyes opened. The total rate with taxes and fees is $132.90 for 8 days. You take the Hertz shuttle from the airport to this lot which is located a mile away from the hertz place...self-check in machines make this sound seriously fast and easy...

Seriously, it's legit...part of Hertz. Check it out https://www.simplywheelz.com/carrent...OnHomepage.jsp

I just called their toll free number and spoke to a represenative. She verified all the information from my reservation. She also told me that the price was in fact the full price and there would be no other charges at the time of rental. She said that you self check in when you get there with credit card and present your license when you get the keys to the vechile. All of their cars are new and in good shape. they consider themselves a "no frills" rental agency..you pick up the car and bring it back...that's it. she said they didn't need my car insurance...no hidden insurance fees on the rental either...only my credit card to pay and my driver's license was required...I am sold. they provide driving directions to and from the major theme parks and will rent you a GPS for $9.95 a day if you want one..

I don't know about you all, but I am SOLD on this one. I cannot find anything cheaper than this anywhere on the net using any kind of codes or promos for an 8 day trip. the weekly rate was $88 before taxes and fees, and the extra day was a mere $12...I am just in shock here.

**DisneyTeacher** · 04-13-2008

Sounds wonderful, let us know how it goes because this could save people a lot of money.

timsha · 04-13-2008

Wow Dana that is a great rate!!! Is that for a: compact, mid-size or full size car? I might have to change this year / trip, and rent a car for the week.

Well the fact that they work with Hertz on some level should put your mind at ease

It's for a econo, but still almost $100 cheaper than the going rates elsewhere. Definately look into them...follow the link I provided. totally worth it~

exactly!

**ddoll** · 04-13-2008

Hmm...I was going to check on Nashville rates, but it seems it's only i n
Orlando right now.

I'm anxious to hear some reviews.

**ddoll** · 04-13-2008

Here, I found a Dis thread that discusses people's experiences using it.

Cynsayshi · 04-13-2008

Thanks for the post! I was wondering what this was. We had a horrible experience with Thrifty during our last trip, and decided to just use ME next month. However, I'm having second thoughts about this and was looking into rates for renting a car instead.
