Cruise America

My Family and I rented an rv from cruise america and it was the most horrible experience ever!!!

First of all we rented the rv to attend a out of town funeral, and once we hit the expressway we noticed everytime we reached up to 50 miles per hour the vehicle starts to shake and rumble all across the road, which is Very dangerous!

So we pulled over to call them and let them know so we can make arrangements to swap the vehicle out for another one, and no one answered the phone, even after multiple attempts to reach them.

So we then call the customer service 800 emergency number just to find out they cannot / will not help us with exchanging the vehicle at a different location in our travels. Mind you we are attending a funeral, so we didn't have a lot of time to be messing around!

As we explained to them the vehicle was unsafe to drive and we're only able to go up to 45 miles per hour, they told us we can take it to the shop to get it repaired.

It is and was not our job or responsibility to get the vehicle repaired, yet we proceeded to get it done anyway, for our Safety!

Once we get to the repair shop, they explained everything that was wrong with the vehicle and why it was unsafe to drive. They proceeded to go ahead with the repairs until cruise america told them that we would take care of the cost, and they would supposedly reimburse us.

WHAT???

So much took place after this, yet I will get to the point. Not only did cruise america say they would compensate us for our experience and troubles, they turned around and charged us fees and usage for the vehicle, they also hit us with a late fee upon our return!

DO NOT rent from cruise america, it's a rip off, and they have unsafe vehicles that they would put you and your family over the road in.

THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR SAFETY!!!

My family took a long planned vacation that started with an RV rental at Cruise America. However, after arriving at our destination we discovered that the water tank on the RV was broken and the RV had no water.

Cruise America was unable to find an RV repair center that would repair it and were unable to find another RV for us to switch out. So the RV was unusable since we had no toilet, no shower, and no sink for washing dishes. Cruise America's only customer service for these kinds of issues is to write them an email and wait (as I did) up to a month for them to respond. CA at first offered only 1 day of rental time refund on a 5 day rental.

They claimed that since I could still drive the RV, it wasn't a total loss of use. CA's customer service is truly awful and I would warn that if you rent from them and something goes wrong, they are absolutely not going to help and not going to offer you any serious refund. You're on your own.

I would never consider renting from this company again. They ruined my family's vacation, don't let them ruin yours.

Awful customer service on the way back to drop the Rv off when it started losing power and shut off. Called the assistance number to only be told they could only refund me my money or I can spend the night where I broke and wait til Monday until a mechanic can fix it.

It's Easter weekend and we will have to spend it in mechanics parking lot bc cruise america failed to give us any assistance besides reimbursement. You are a National company. Do better. This was our 3rd RV with them and unfortunately our last due to the lack of customer help during this issue..

we know problems ate bound to happen but what we didn't expect was Cruise America leaving us stranded.

Even rental cat places won't leave you stranded. We didn't have any problems the last 2 times but the time we did encounter an issue they done nothing and don't seem to care about the issue or there customers.Dont

Stay as far away from Cruise America RV Rental &;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Sales as you can! We were finally able to take the trip we have been talking about and planning for years and the RV from Cruise America was a complete nightmare.

We were able to overlook the filthy condition the RV was given to us in even though we were reassured extra precautions were being taken due to Covid-19. Once we got the rv home I spent hours cleaning dirt, crumbs, and bloody finger prints off the inside of the RV. Then we discovered shortly after we began our journey that the fridge was not working properly ruining all the food we had brought on our trip. As well as the hot water heater not working and the shower door being broken making it impossible to take showers.

But it only got worse from there, the roof started leaking to the point water was running down the center floorboard of the rv ruining our belongs in its path. We contacted roadside assistance and they directed us to a repair shop an hour away. So we spent the majority of that day getting the leak fixed Cruise America instructed the repair shop to basically put a bandaid on the problem and sent us on our way. The next issue was the most frightening, the ABS light came on as we were going down the busy highway we were trying to get over to figure out what the problem was when the front passenger side tire blew sending us into the next lane of traffic.

When we made it to the shoulder and called roadside assistance they sent someone out to replace the tire. After waiting over 3 hours on the side of the road we were informed by the man replacing the tire that it had been installed improperly and looked like it had been forced on the RV. He replaced the tire and when we pulled back on the road we quickly realized there was a bigger problem with the RV as the abs light was still on and the alignment was severely off and then we quickly realized the brakes were not working properly. We made it to the next exit and were able to pull into the closest parking lot.

We had to contact roadside assistance again and were asked if we could limp the brake-less rv to their Denver hub over 30 miles away. After refusing to drive the clearly unsafe rv any further we were told they could send a replacement rv the next afternoon. By the time it arrived we had lost almost two travel days not to mention the time we spent with the leak repairs a few days prior. When the man arrived delivering the replacement rv and picking up the previous rv he informed us he didnt even feel safe turning it around to get it on the tow truck and said he is surprised we didnt roll when the tire blew because the wheel bearing was so bad.

The replacement RV actually looked like it was in better condition than the original even though we were informed it was going to be an older model and to set our expectations. We thought that our RV troubles were behind us and that we just got a lemon this first go round. And then the check engine light came on as we were traveling through an area with spotty service and little to no shoulder. We again pulled over and contacted roadside assistance where we were informed that it was probably nothing and we were fine to keep driving.

After expressing more concern due to all the previous issues we were told we could take the rv to the nearest location again about 30 miles away and have it checked. Upon arriving at the Henderson, Nevada location we were told the check engine light was on because the gas cap was not tightened properly and that we were good to go. After expressing more concern/fear for my family because of the previous issues we were basically laughed at and mocked by employee Bobby Sinnott, who became extremely condescending and rude. Laughing as we left and telling us sarcastically to have a great trip.

Not 20 minutes after leaving the check engine light came back on and stayed on the rest of our trip. Upon arriving to return the RV we not only were not given any of the reimbursements/credits we were promised for lost travel days we were actually charged additional fees for cleaning and gas even though the RV was returned cleaner than it was given to us and the gas level was the same as when we received the RV which is what the contract required.

Not to mention the full tank of gas we had just put into the original RV before blowing the tire. Please feel free to share this with your family and friends so no other family is put in the danger we were put in because of Cruise Americas poor upkeep and vehicle maintenance.
