4.6 out of 5
Um...

I don’t know how CarlaCarRental got 4.6 stars. I swear if I could give negative stars, I would. I booked a reservation for a car that costed over $400 but it came up to over $500 because of fees. When I went to pick up the car, I was told I needed to pay an additional $500 for the deposit. Um... I... Show more

FRAUD

CarlaCarRental allowed me to book a reservation and charged prepayment. The rental car company would not allow me to rent the car because they don’t accept my credit card. They advised they cannot offer refund because I paid Carla, and not them. I contacted Carla via email as that is the only way ... Show more

A Nice App That Will Steal Your Money with Terrible Customer Service

I used this to book a rental, and then cancel my reservation. When canceling, I had the option to pay a $5 fee on my refund or get the full amount credited to my account for my next reservation. I chose to get the credit, because I knew I’d use CarlaCarRental again. However, On my next reservation... Show more

Stay away, not a trustworthy company

Went trough the reservation process, provided my credit card, received a confirmation number at the end, sent an email to the support department, asking about the process of picking op the vehicle and the response after a few hours was that the vehicle was not available with the provider buy that t...

Don’t use if you don’t have a credit card or good credit

This was my first time renting a car. I was looking to rent a car for a good price not to expensive, the advertised prices on CarlaCarRental looked pretty good. Because this is my first time renting I didn’t know that some car rental places only except credit cards only so I was unable to pick up ... Show more

Scam. Edited

My original review is below this edit:

This car rental app is the shadiest app ever. They charge you for things they cannot account for, it took me about 24 separate emails to get a straight answer and even a receipt! They don’t answer the phone number for customer service that they have. ... Show more

DO NOT USE!!!

Please do not use CarlaCarRental! Read the honest reviews! Just go through the rental company directly! I made a reservation through CarlaCarRental and prepaid about $50 for cancellation fee and “insurance”. When I went to pick up car they did have my reservation but there was no insurance so I h... Show more

Don’t do it!!!!!

I am officially out almost $300 for a rental I never used. Both CarlaCarRental and initial customer service interactions seem legitimate and professional. I’m sure it may even be to an extent, assuming that you change nothing and your initial travel plans come off perfectly. As we all know these d... Show more

WORST APP

DO NOT USE! FRAUDULENT

I booked a rental through them at Hertz and I got the peace of mind protection. Hertz increased their security deposit to $500 and I decided not to use the rental. I immediately sent a message to Carla letting them know I didn’t rent the car and to refund me. I didn’t hear anything for 2 days. I se... Show more

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING

I reserved a car through Carla.
Paid the portion they require up front.
Red flag 🚩 1) Instead of charging my card for the one charge they mentioned when booking, they charged my card twice!

I arrive to the rental place, upon arrival they’re telling me they can’t honor my reservatio... Show more

Do not use if you are a US citizen!!

I am a US citizen with a US driver’s license. Last week, I purchased the surprise reservation with the Peace of Mind Protection plan because I am under 25 and I wanted the under 25 fee to be waived from whatever car company I was renting from. When I got to the counter of Hertz at Tampa Airport on ... Show more

Very well designed app

This is honestly one of the best apps of it’s kind. First of all I love the visual design. The colors stand out but are not too hard on your eyes. It has a very modern feel and looks very clean and simple. Some other apps get way too cluttered but Carla is great. The text is also just the right s... Show more

Tremendous Shopping experience

Carla has tremendous customer support and offers a wide variety of vehicle options that simplify the shopping experience.

This is a nicely designed app for car rentals. It is very easy to use. So easy my youngest kid could use it. Very self explanatory and easy to navigate.

Don’t waste Your time.

In CarlaCarRental there is an option to click... the under 25 option so of course I clicked it because I’m only 24. The issue is that when I went to pick up my rental that was advertised as $260 with my “age option” in mind is was actually going cost me over $600 for the rental because....well I’m... Show more

Zero Customer Support, Lies

The Carla app will mislead you into thinking you rented a specific car category only to find out CarlaCarRental and confirmation emails that say Chevy Tahoe and show pictures of a Chevy Tahoe do not get you a Chevy Tahoe. Instead it’s bait and switch. Even the good people at budget and hertz both ... Show more

Complete and Total rip-off. Avoid this App like the plague!

I attempted to rent a car through CarlaCarRental . Received no confirmation email. I could not verify the reservation either through CarlaCarRental or wit the rental car company itself. A week before my scheduled trip, I checked the reservation through CarlaCarRental , and I find not only has the ... Show more

I’ve had good luck

I’ve had good luck with Carla in the past, all car rentals have gone smoothly, no issues with getting a car at the various airports we’ve rented from. I even booked for the wrong airport one time and was allowed to cancel the reservation with no issues.
My reason for four stars is because the “... Show more

Awesome support & Local companies

I love Carla because of two main features - personalized customer support & local car rental companies. I planned a road trip in Europe this summer. I rented many cars in US yet I didn't know much about driving in Europe. Laura helped me out with my endless questions. She even made recommendati... Show more

Just great

I need to fly regularly because of my job, and sometimes I need a car in a foreign city. Since I discovered Carla, it's been really easy and convenient to pick cars. I don't need to wait in lines anymore, I'm not being bullied by salesmen at counters, I'm not forced into buying extras I don't reall... Show more

Beautifully Designed

Carla is a very well designed app that allows easy car rental searches with very simplistic pick up and drop off services. I have had my fair share of terrible car rental services both online and in person and this by far is one of the best that I have come across. The low prices are also a big poi... Show more

Car rental simplified

I never thought booking and renting a car could be so easy! I absolutely love Carla. I have so many choices of different cars and they have all the major carriers and some I’ve never herd of. It’s so easy to use you can literally book a rental anywhere anytime. I’ve used Carla many times and never ... Show more

Time Saver!

As a frequent traveler, finding an app that would ensure the best deal before my arrival was a challenge. I would book a vehicle and often receive additional fees. Having an app that can broker the best rate amongst the many companies available at my destination saves me so much time.

App needs a little tweaking for clarity

Great concept and easy to use. Started very smoothly but the pick up location was about about 30 miles from the anticipated site so had to shuttle back to airport and take train then walk about a mile to the actual pick up site. The extra travel made me two hours late to the actual pick up locati... Show more

Top notch service

Pretty fast and simple car rental app to save your hard earned dollars. I would say clean to describe Carla. You can see all the car rental companies at discounted rates. No unnecessary information, just focusing on the vital stuff. No already checked boxes as well so that you don't end up with opt... Show more

Car rental made cheap & fast! 🚗👍

I am a frequent US traveler. I guess I saved over $1000 compared to counter rates. Carla has great car rental deals. I just saved $300 on a minivan rental at Los Angeles Airport.
