      On 5/20/2023 I rented a pontoon boat from this company for an 8hr time slot. A little over half way through the 8hrs the boat was having mechanical problems. We were in a mountainous area of the Colorado River and not able to contact the rental company immediately. We contacted them and slowly made our way up river to their other location at Pirates Cove which was much closer as the boat wouldnt even go half speed. They had a van take us from there back to where our car was parked at their rental office. They said well let you know what we find out. I called them on 5/24/2023 as I had heard nothing from them. They told me the oil pressure switch had failed so not our fault. They would only refund $100 when after tax the rental was $757.00. Then wanted to deduct roughly $25 for fuel. They never gave me a sales slip, receipt nothing. They also never issued the credit they said they were giving back to my card. Half the day was wasted limping the broken down boat back to a dock and waiting for a van ride back.

      *********************************** is not our contract signer, ******************************* (our renter) CALLED US to reserve (2) offroad vehicles for (2) days from 9:30am 12/3 to 4:30pm 12/4. Terms of the rental were explained and costs were agreed upon.On "Day 1" ******************** no call/no showed. We called her, and she stated "They would be a couple hours late due to problems with their Motorhome. Our staff member agreed to hold the reserved units. We waited for several hours, ******************** again no call/no show. We called again, we were told they were still hours out from arriving. At this point our staff member had other off premise customers to attend to. ******************** said she would call us when she got close to the resort and we would again dispatch a representative to the resort. She arrived later that day and took delivery of the vehicles.On "Day 2" - "Car 1" they damaged a tire. We again dispatched a representative to replaced the tire so they can continue their rental. Then she asked to pay for a extended time to keep them overnight . We did this at a discounted rate. "Day 3" upon the return inspection there was damage to "Car 2". When our Customer Representative called ******************** (who is the contract holder) to discuss the costs of repairs incurred to our vehicle, ******************** refused to allow us to talk to her and he became verbally abusive and threatening to our staff member. He created a unhealthy environment for our staff member. At this point we had to terminate the conversation. NOTE: ******************************* was not charged for normal wear and tear parts. *************************** was charged for repairs to damages that were caused to vehicles whenthey were in her possession. The Balance of the deposit was released. We are not holding any deposit, and we are NOT SCAMMERS!!
