WARNING: Avoid “Boutique” Car Rental in Miami – Scam Tactics and Zero Respect
WARNING: Avoid “Boutique” Car Rental in Miami – Scam Tactics and Zero Respect
My family and I had one of the worst rental experiences ever with a company called Boutique in Miami, Florida, on December 25, 2025. The way this business operates feels like a complete scam and people need to be warned before they book here.
We had reserved several vans more than two months in advance for a family trip, and our reservation was fully confirmed. When we arrived, the woman at the front desk treated us with an extremely disrespectful and arrogant attitude from the moment she started speaking with us. She claimed that our vehicle had been in an accident and that it was “impossible” to give us the van we had reserved, showing a random photo that did not include any reservation number or proof that it was actually our vehicle.
Instead of trying to help or offer a solution, she repeated aggressively that there was “no solution,” raising her voice and talking down to us as if everything was our fault. When I calmly suggested that they rent us the same van we were returning (which was actually more expensive and clearly not in my favor), she responded with sarcasm and bad faith, saying that I was “not doing her a favor” and that she would not give us any kind of discount, even though the vehicle she was offering at that moment was cheaper than what we had originally reserved.
I explained that I was stressed because this was a long‑planned family trip and that our reservation had been made well in advance, but she simply ignored me and stared at her screen. She said she would charge whatever price appeared on her computer and that was it. When I continued insisting, still respectfully, she suddenly threatened to call the police, accusing me of having an “aggressive tone,” even though I never insulted her or raised my voice.
When my husband arrived, naturally upset because we were clearly being taken advantage of, she repeated the same accusation and immediately called the police. The most shocking part is that when the officers arrived, they mentioned that they receive calls from this same rental company almost every day, which says a lot about how often they have conflicts with customers.
On top of all this, their prices are completely deceptive. They advertise one amount online, but once you are at the counter they start inflating the total with all kinds of “mandatory” extras: tours, insurances, fees, and charges that were never clearly disclosed in the original reservation. Other customers have reported similar hidden fees and abusive charges, which confirms that this is not an isolated case but a pattern of behavior.
For your own peace of mind and your wallet, do not rent from Boutique in Miami. Look for a reputable, well‑known rental company instead and avoid risking your family trip and your money with a business that uses deceptive practices, disrespects customers, and has frequent police involvement due to the way they treat people.
