U-Save Car & Truck Rental - Petersburg

Fantastic experience renting a car from Mike when our own car broke down on the 48. So glad for this car rental.

I rented the car due to the airbag safety recall on Ford vehicles. Ford pays for the daily rates until the airbag parts are available.

The salesperson was surly and disrespectful. Charged $250 deposit. Charges mileage after 75 miles per day. He warned that if the car was not returned on time he will immediately file a warrant for car theft, and if the car is not spotless they will keep the deposit.

The rental car was old and had 130,000 miles on it, was not particularly clean, and we found a cigarette butt inder a floor mat prior to returning it (we don't allow smoking in our own cars, or anything we drive).

We drove 30 miles to Keyser in my own car, and rented a nearly new car from Enterprise with $25 deposit and unlimited mileage, and there was a smiling face behind the counter there.

The photo shows a mug shot and arrest record that is "proudly" displayed in the rental office lobby. Presumably it's a woman who didn't return the rental car on time. The salesperson was eager to point this out.

To their credit, U-Save did refund the deposit and void the agreement when I took the car back the next day, with only some minor fuss.

This business rents cars but also sells used cars under the Country Cars and Trucks name.
