Pros:

Drop off was drop and go

Cons:

Upfront with “managers choice” special the car just ended up being the smallest compact car they had. Also we asked for a ride to the airport and it was a hard no.

Pros:

Staff was very nice. Drop off was fine and it was easier to get to in the early morning hours.

Cons:

The tank was not totally full when I got it. My fault for not noticing or calling in. I still haven’t gotten a receipt via email.

Nothing online said they had vehicles available and even let me booked an suv for a week. At the time of “pick up” according to the desk guy they had no cars in inventory and said that he would call me that same afternoon and never received a call, txt, or email. Really bad experience and did really needed a vehicle for that whole week!

Awesome customer service and very affordable. Only thing was that vehicle was not clean or sanitized. It was a little uncomfortable driving home. Once I was home I sprayed it with lysol. Other than that it was an awesome experience. Thanks

Easy drop off. The pick up was not as smooth, but it seems airport is doing renovations so the lot is not in its usual space.

Felipe, Apr 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The person working the counter on the morning of 04/24/2021, was dishonest and cagey. The entire process was a waste of time he stated that the car would was being washed and would be ready in 30 minutes, after more than hour he was stating the same lies and would just walk away and go outside.

Cons:

If the vehicle is not available just tell me it is not even though I had a reservation. Just wasting time waiting for a car that is not going to be available. Do not lie and expect that a customer would be satisfied. I had to use a different company that had a car available at a lower price and was able to rent without any problems

Sinke, Apr 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Nothing because they canceled my rental the day before I was supposed to get my rental

Cons:

It would have been better if they didn’t gave me false hope by letting me book the rental. If they don’t have the car to be rented, they shouldn’t let me book or reserve the car. In allowing me to reserve, they have stopped me from looking for a better alternative
