If you're renting from here, make sure that you do not have the possibility of running into any delays!! I made my reservation through Priceline while searching for airport locations and scheduled for 6:30 pickup. In all fairness, I was assuming that this was also an airport location, which is what I was trying to book. But Nu Car is located about 15 minutes away from the airport, but they provide a shuttle. My flight was delayed by about 35 minutes and then we had to taxi in, so we didn't get off the plane until 6:45 for my original 6:30 pickup. I called and they graciously told me that it could pick up my rental the next day, since I was informed only two days prior to my trip that they close at 7pm, even on Saturdays ( I believe they close at 5 on Sundays). But what they didn't tell me is that they would also charge me $10 for everyday of the rental and the day that I missed picking it up as a "rental reactivation fee" so I ended up being charged an additional $79 for my 7 day rental just because they close early. I was informed that this charge is assessed when you pick up your car 2 hours late- although I picked it up the first thing the next morning. They should also mention in advance that they will require not only proof of insurance, which is expected but they also request a copy of your declaration page as well as a copy of your coverages, deductibles and limits. I was also surprised to learn that when I arrived, you do not meet with individuals at the location- it's a virtual process with you sitting in front of a computer screen talking to people who are located elsewhere. You upload documentation by the scanners and receive the keys from a lock box that is opened remotely once your process is approved. I wasn't sure if they were going to be a nickel and dime company, so I made sure to take copious pictures of the vehicle upon pickup because I didn't want any challenges. But I like that you can take your pictures and upload them to the rental application so you have your bases covered. One thing that I will say is that all of the people that I spoke to were very cordial and courteous. As was Mr. Orlando, who checked the car back in and also served as the shuttle car driver and was extremely helpful with loading the van Local renters are probably good to rent from here, but I probably wouldn't rent from them as a traveler, just because as a non-local renter, things are always beyond your control and I would rather avoid additional fees in the event that they do change. But the car was nice and well maintained.

Whatever you do, don’t make the mistake of selecting this company. I don’t know how we made such a huge mistake. First off, you have to take a shuttle from the airport a good 10 minutes away. It took 30 minutes for it to arrive. Second, you walk into the what looks like a nice building on the outside, right? No. It’s a weird room, with red carpet and stains all over it. There’s rooms where you go in and “video chat” with someone who definitely is in their house probably far far away from NC (which is fine, but this whole situation was awkward to begin with)… Then, you have to prove your insurance and everything under a little camera for him to inspect. We own a business, which has our last name on all our vehicles, and since it didn’t say my husband’s first name he simply wouldn’t accept it. I finally found one that he did accept…. But come on. This would’ve been nice to have be done BEFORE we got there. Also, a mandatory $350 deposit if something happens. That’s a lot higher than I’ve ever paid….. total waste of an hour, including the car ride to the rental place. Next, he virtually opened a box in the room with a key. Didn’t tell us what car we were even renting……. Now. We find the car in the lot. It has nearly 60,000 miles on it and it’s dinged to hell. We are now required personally to go around the vehicle and take pictures of every ding and scratch before we leave the parking lot. Let me say, there were SO MANY SCRATCHES AND DINGS, and someone destroyed the back rim on a curb. Cracked windshield. Sticky adhesive on the windshield…. The car wasn’t even clean on the inside…. Crumbs, scratches…. A ….smell. Wow. We are just beyond ourselves right now. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. YOU’RE WELCOME.

First, what they don't tell you is all of the added charges after you pay for the rental. I had comp & collision so they couldn't get me there, but they make you put down $1000 deposit or $350 deposit with $10 per day that you don't get back. They tried to charge you. I think it was $50 per day for tolls, or if you go through any tolls, it will be $25 per toll plus the cost of the toll. I said no to that. I just used maps set on direct with no tolls. They go by calendar days instead of 24-hour periods on charges. So, with the $350 deposit, it was an additional cost of $50 that I won't get back. The worst part was they gave me a car that had a huge dent in the bumper and hood of the car. I took pictures, went back in, and showed them as my car insurance Allstate, told me to do and instead of giving me a different car they just told me okay. I was tired so I took it. Another woman on the rental shuttle called a cab to take her to another rental car place.

Reviews Summary

Overall sentiment for Nü Car Rentals in Charlotte is strongly negative, with only sporadic acknowledgement of polite individual staff. Reviewers consistently report issues with unexpected fees, strict documentation requirements, miscommunication about deposit and toll packages, and dissatisfaction with the virtual rental process. Complaints about vehicle conditions and customer service are frequent, with little mention of any standout positive experience, aside from brief praise for shuttle staff.

Frequent themes in customer feedback include lengthy shuttle wait times, poor vehicle maintenance, lack of transparency regarding costs, and reliance on virtual agents for the rental process, which many found inconvenient or impersonal. Customers across Charlotte repeatedly identified vehicle cleanliness, mechanical reliability, and dispute resolution as persistent deficiencies. The requirement for significant deposits and the inflexible insurance acceptance policy were common pain points.

In summary, Nü Car Rentals is regarded in the Charlotte area as an option that may come with considerable risk, particularly for travelers. Multiple reviews highlight billing disputes, inadequate vehicle upkeep, and a lack of responsive customer support. As reflected in repeated experiences, the company’s reputation is largely negative and points to areas in need of significant operational improvement.
