Nifty Car Rental

I rented from NIfty car rental with out a reservation and found them to be very prompt and courteous. Although the car was an older model Lincoln and could use a tuneup for city driving, I found it to be very reliable and clean. The staff was courteous and helpful. I would definetily use them again if I go to NOLA>

While vacationing in New Orleans, we rented a car for the day from Nifty Car Rental on Poydras Street. I was quoted 39.99 for a daily charge and my credit card was charged 300.00 deposit until I brougt the car back. We returned the car the same day and was given the paperwork showing that Nifty Car Rental owed us 255.21 which was to be credited to my credit card. This has not been done even after 2 phone calls to Nifty. I contacted my credit card company and informed them of this matter. Added note, the car we rented was filthy. We will never rent another car from Nifty Car Rental 2070 Poydras St. New Orleans, La. 70112.

Remember two things, -This is Nifty "NOT" Thrifty (a national car rental company) -You get what you pay for. Located a few blocks past the Superdome, Nifty does offer pickup and drop off service (a necessity given their location). I knew we were in trouble when I entered the minivan for pickup. The general cleanliness of the vehicle left a lot to be desired. If this is what they use to make a first impression, look out!!!... what does their fleet look like?!?!?! Entering the garage, It seemed like every car was a high mileage junker and in dire need of major body/mechanical work. I've rented many cars in past (US, Mexico and Europe), this is the first time it took me longer than 15 minutes to document the dents and scratches on the exterior, and, dried gum (center console) and stains on the interior. Every inch of the car had a problem (really, I'm not joking). Once on the road the engine groan every time I stepped on the gas (there seemed to be a major problem with the front end). ... Read more

We rented a car and was told it was an "older model". Fine with us because we were parking it in the French Quarter overnight and didn't care if it was an older car. When we went to pick it up they walked us around it and it had many dents and scratches - again, no big deal we were just going site seeing for the day. Once we got on the road we found that it needed a new suspension, the driver side visor was missing, the glove box fell open mid trip and we couldn't get it closed, the driver side windows had an electrical short and wouldn't roll back up. All I asked for was a $20 discount and she was unbeliveably rude. Told us that there was no way she was giving us a discount because it was our fault we agreed to rent an older car. The mechanic told me he knew there was a short in the window but he claimed it was fixed. My problem is this car should not have been a rental to begin with. I honestly can't believe these people stay in business. I would never do business with these people... Read more

Despite the previous reviews, i rented a car from Nifty. I am pleased to say that they were the best rental agency i have ever worked with!!! They picked me up, gave me a free upgrade, and their prices could not be beat! The wonderful employees answered al my questions of attractions in the city. When i asked them about the bad reviews on here they responded by telling me that their company had undergone some reconstruction and that they upgraded their fleet. It is a wonderful company that i highly recommend!!!!!

THESE PEOPLE ARE THE WORST PEOPLE EVER TO DO BUSINESS WITH!!! FIRST OF ALL THEY CHARGED ME $45 EXTRA DOLLARS WHICH THEY DENY THEY DID BUT IT'S ON MY BANK STATEMENT CLEAR AS DAY AND THEN THEY GAVE ME A "FREE" UPGRADE TO A MIDSIZE WHICH I DIDN'T WANT BECAUSE OF THE EXORBITANT GAS PRICES AND EXPECTED ME TO FILL IT UP WHEN I RECEIVED IT BECAUSE IT WAS EMPTY. THE BACK WINDOW WOULDN'T EVEN ROLL DOWN, THE BRAKES WERE STICKING HORRIBLY, I GOT A FLAT TIRE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF MYSELF NEVERMIND THE FACT THAT I HAD TWO CHILDREN WITH ME AND I AM PREGNANT!!! SO WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THE TIRE THERE WASN'T EVEN A TIRE IRON IN THERE TO TAKE THE BOLTS OFF OF THE TIRE!! WHEN I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER, THEY PUT ME ON SPEAKER PHONE TO MAKE FUN OF ME AND WERE LAUGHING AT ME! WHEN I TOLD THEM TO TAKE ME OFF OF IT, THEY SAID THEY WERE USING ME AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW STUPID CUSTOMERS CAN BE!!!! THE NERVE OF THIS LOW CLASS, PATHETIC AND SICKENING COMPANY IS BEYOND ME AND I W... Read more

This is the first time I have ever been disappointed by a rental car company. The car we rented had over 89K miles on it. I should have driven it back as soon as I pulled out of the garage. The bearings needed to be replaced! The poor thing sounded like an airplane when we drove off. To top it off we got stuck after stopping for lunch. The staff at the office had the nerve to tell us that it was only a battery problem & that we should just ask someone for a jump. When we told him we would not be interested in doing that he sent out a mechanic & another car. After about an hour with the new car we rec'd a call back to see how we liked the newer car that actually ran. It would have been for everyone involved if they give us the working car to begin with. It is amazing how they knew the first car had a battery problem and rented it to us anyway. Any other big rental car company would have given us a free rental for one day. These people charged the whole price. AVOID THIS COMPANY. ... Read more
