Insider Pages Reviews for Aamcar Discount Car Rentals
LOVE AAMCAR!, rented a Black Explorer last weekend, fully loaded, leather seats, sun roof, mp3 hookup for $400 for the entire weekend! Awesome spot. The best thing about the place is its convenience to get out of the city. Located between the west side highway and west end avenue. Also next to a gas station, hello can you make my life any easier!

I live next door and have used this rental car company many times. Extremely convenient and easy, and the rates are generally lower than most others in the city. I have found them to be courteous, accommodating and at times flexible with special needs. Also, easy to get last minute but sometimes harder in the summer.

Nice People Nice Vans Nice Prices,
It's not easy to find a 15 passenger van for rent in Manhattan. Only the independent companies have them.
Aamcar delivered the van to our hotel and took us to the airport once we finished. Keep up the good work

I rented the 15 seater van from AAMCAR and it was great! the service was really good and the prices were even better. As soon as we walked in an agent approached us and suggested help, from that moment on it was a matter of minutes till we were done and ready to go with vehicle we wanted. GREAT SERVICE with GREAT PRICES!!!

I came in with my car the other day had some problem with the car, within 25 min the car was up and running again it was amazing! the price was a little high but it was worth it. Last time I went to a mechanic i had to wait around for like two hours. True, the guy was cheaper but it wasnt worth the time i had to stick around for. AAMCAR great service Thanx

The friendliest Car Rental Company in NY. Great Rates too.
by Anonymous
I believe that no act of kindness and perfection should go unpraised. Aamcar on West 96th Street is a neighborhood gem. The rates are very very reasonable and thats only the beginning. The staff is most helpful, attentive and efficient.
When I returned my car, it was raining. I had many packages so without further ado, Amos, the owner, asked Jose to take me home. Their cars are not of the "exotic" family, but are clean, trustworthy American and foreign cars.They answer on the second ring,in person, never "punch one, punch 2, conversations will be recorded for training...etc." just fast and easy, personal service. On your third rental you are already a friend of the family or in their lingo you are a "fic" (found in the computer".).
I give Aamcar a 5 star rating. Patricia.

AT LAST-A NICE FRIENDLY PLACE
by midleeasttourist
The first time one calls to reserve a car you already get the impression that this joint is different. These people pick up the phone on the 2nd or 3rd ring, and you're not told that it might be recorded for training purposes etc. I needed a 15 passenger van. I got it with a GPS thing that really helps you get from A to B. Its a pleasure to do business with you people and I wll come here any time I need wheels
Pros: REALLY GREAT STAFF.HELPFULL AND FRIENDLY
Cons: THEY HAVE OFFICES ONLY IN THE CITY.(BUT WILL DELIVER VANS TO AIRPORT)

Great cars sweet service.
by shalomyaakovi
I had a business meeting in Maiami and I wanted to rent a car. I came in to AAMCAR as soon as I walked in someone was ready to help me. I was thinking to myself this is probably gonna cost me somehow this is what always happens, you go rent a car and the rental company keeps sucking your money away for some really dumb reason. But here that was not the case, I came in and got out with the car really quickly it was cheap and simple. And this time no hidden fees at all. It was trully a great car rental experience.

AAMCAR review
by flax
We rented a car from AAMCAR and had a problem, however they responded promptly to the situation and it was a strong plus that they accepted cash for the rental.
Pros: Accepts cash
Cons: not really sure

FAST AND EFFICIENT
by hungrymax
Well, well, well. What can I say? Aamcar car rental really impressed me from the getgo.
I haven't rented a car in years and had heard stories about additional charges, hidden charges and such.
I really had a pleasant surprise. Everything was patiently explained to me. All my options were presented on the table with the pro's and the con's and no pressure to pay any extra charges. I really drove away with sensible transportation for what I needed that day. They have other cars and vans and SUV's.
I loved the $39.95 rate they had for a compact car. Anyhow, should you need a car in Manhattan any day of the week, by all means, give them a call. Just Google them and you'll be taken direct to their site or call.
Pros: Nice people, nice cars, great prices, what more could you ask for
Cons: Open on Weekends at 8.30 am.RETURN YOUR CAR TILL MIDNIGHT

Got the Solutions!
by goby
It was a huge relief when we got this Car Rental services last time we visited NY. Aamcar provided us best services in economical range. We never expected such a best services in such a best price. It used to be one of the challanges for us to get rented cars on a reasonable price, we came to know about them through one of our friend. When we landed NY first of all I made a call to them and surprisingly everything was settled in just few minutes and we got car by the time we got prepared for outing. Thanks Aamcar you are the best!!!!
Pros: Effective Service
Cons: Never Compromise

A Gem of a Car Rental Company on West 96th Street.
by georgemagee
My wife and I have been coming to Aamcar Car Rentals on West 96th street,for years and years. On occasion that they are sold out (happens on weekends in the summer and on holidays) we have had to use other places to our great chagrin.The wonder of this place are its staff. The people.They are so nice, efficient, fast and caring.Aamcar's prices are very competitive. Sometimes, hard to believe, half the price of the big major car rental companies. Perhaps I shouldn't spread the word and keep this gem for ourselves., but we really want them to succeed and stay around forever.We have rented different vehicles from them.They have them all. I don't want to sound like an ad so just go to their site on the internet and see for yourself.
Pros: The Staff is Exceptional, The Prices are Great.
Cons: Have locations only uptown on the west side.
