Rent-A-Relic vs Rent-A-Wreck
Why Pick Rent-A-Relic over Rent-A-Wreck?
Sure, our names may sound similar, but under the hood so to speak, there’s a world of difference between our two shops. We’re a locally-owned and operated one-of-a-kind Oakland-based business who’s served East Bay customers since we started in 1992. Here are a few more reasons to pick Rent-A-Relic…
Rich & Todd. Every time you call, email, or visit our office, you’ll always deal with one of us, the owners (that’s us above).
Deals & discounts. We can provide great deals all the time. We remember your rental requests for the next time you need a vehicle.
Locally-owned. We're not corporate owned or franchised. We’re a one of a kind Oakland-based business. It’s always been that way since we opened our doors in 1992.
Great monthly rental options. If you need a long-term rental, we’re better than the other guys, including Rent-A-Wreck. Plus, we are also flexible on return date so customers can return early or extend.
Simple pricing. No gotchas or bait & switch with our pricing—no taxes or hidden fees here.
What you see is what you get. The car model discussed will be the one you receive.
