Hi All,
Really a pity for Lisa name to have been blacklisted as a matter of
fact, in most of the forums where the topic 'rental' is concern.
Well, if there's any of Lisa co-workers, friends or Lisa herself is
reading these, really no offence to you but this is only for the
benefit of the rest in doubt I strongly feel so.
About 4 years back when I was also in a desp situation looking for
rental companies whom rent out cars to P-plate, I actually bump
into her Ad as her is Ad is in fact everywhere on
classifieds.
The first impression was already no good, but i just take it easy
and not be so fussy as I was really anxious in finally getting a
car to rent. Though minor one, but impression was such as I've book
a specific car for about 3 weeks in advance for a manual one, as I
don't know anything about Auto cars during those days and tell her
umpteen times that I'm just a newbie, totally not ready to try new
type gear car and morever that first time is I'm bringing my family
out. I wouldn't want to harm them in anyway if I dun find auto car
comfortable for the first time. But as usual, when the day comes
she claims that she has no more manual cars and left only autos.
Normal situation, I would have just gone home and not go for the
Auto cars, but that day is a big occasion day with my family and
all are set waiting for the car to arrive. Therfore i have no
choice but to learn roughly on how to operate the auto car and
straightway I'm all alone from there. (no doubt there's nothin much
to learn in auto, still i wasn't that confident that time) Imagine
she dun exactly honour her words or at least be commited on her
words to customer but rather just be greedy to get ppl to rent her
car and she's not bothered by anything else.
That was my first time renting from her, right after renting from
her, I still did rent from her a few more times after that, but
every of the rental gave me a more bad experience, (bad to worse)
such as, vehicle breakdown in the middle of the road upon telling
me the car just serviced. (like what the .. ??? )
Car battery flat at traffic light just after collecting the car
near her blk at bishan. engine cannot even be restarted ....
I mean I tried as hard to ignore those negative effect from her car
rental service, but at the rate she's going, I have to finally stop
renting cars from her and switch to cityspeed car rental; though
there's always some flaws here and there from rental companies,
even cityspeed, but cityspeed was really 10times betta than her
service I've acquired from in the past in terms of service,
commitments, convenience especially and many more.
After 3 years with cityspeed, I have cancelled my membership with
them not due to anything bad from cityspeed, but I've finally
bought myself a car. 
Not so grand or posh cars, but just the new mits lancer
manual and I'm enjoying my car very much.
Thus thru my this long post, hope I've shared my bad experiences
with you guys and you guys would know where to and where to NOT
rent from.
To the threadstarter, yes this is a good thread as this could be
one of the main biggest thread of all the forums available for the
topic on rental of cars related experience and information.
Cheers and enjoy !
