Are you a budding mechanic looking to pay someone to fix their car? Then Z&S car rental is the place to rent your car. It is your responsibility to check to ensure all windows are working, brakes fluid leaks etc. Not the owners responsibility.
I rented a car for two days from this company, the first car issued the windows at the back were unable to go down, fortunately the owner issued another vehicle to us. On receipt of the other vehicle whilst driving the vehicle was making noises, engine check lights, abs and brakes lights came on. It disappeared when we fill the gas. So we decided to proceed, whilst driving the noises increased, the brake was not working properly etc. lights came on etc.
When we reached at our apartment, we contacted the owner and advised of the issued, he said he will have someone visit us at 9am to check the car ( apparently we heard wrong). We decided to visit the office before proceeding on our journey. We explained to them or issues, the staff facial expression, looks liked they were not convinced of the problems we experienced.
RIGHT THERE, all the brakes fluid leaked out. If we did not go there first, my entire family may have been dead, because of this vehicle. So they did offer to replaced the same. But we were too fearful that the same thing will occur.
The owners response is, it is our responsibility to check and see if windows, brakes etc was working. We brought the vehicle back less than 24hours, and he still charged for the entire day, we paid in USD and requested our refund in the same currency and they advised that they do not have all.
I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THE WAY, this was handled, but I am thankful that we returned the vehicle just in time, for we would have been on the news as a family of four dead, due to this.
If you want to be a mechanic, Z & S Car Rentals is the place to go.
Amazing they help alot and the cars are really clean and good service
My boyfriend works and lives around the corner from there
Beware of these scammers!! I bought a car from this company last month as I needed to find a car quickly, they took advantage of my lack of technical knowledge and my urge to buy a vehicle to sell me a rotten car.
It turns out the car was a real piece of trash, after trying to sell the car further I discovered it had been involved in an accident and therefore suspended from the registration records, the car started shaking above 60km/h, had cracks all over the roof on the inside, no radio or AC, no seatbelts in the back, very poorly done bodywork to cover the crash it had been in, water was leaking to the driver’s side on rainy days and the list goes on...
Do not trust this company, I was foolish enough to think that a business which seemed to have good reviews and be well established would not dare selling a car in such poor condition, but I was clearly wrong and it cost me a lot of money! I could’ve had an accident driving this rubbish vehicle and they could not care less, I tried talking to them to get my money back and they just hid behind the fact that the vehicle had been « SOLD AS IS » as marked on the paperwork.
Be careful when buying a vehicle in Barbados, I strongly recommend you do some research about the vehicle before buying and not to buy from rental companies!
Z & S are the most dishonest people I’ve ever encountered and I have since then heard other people saying they had received very poor service from this company.
