We had to wait a long time at pickup and then were told that they had only a pickup truck or van, we had requested a smaller car and confirmed it in line before we went. We also filled out all the forms online Ann bc still were asked those questions. The lights on the car were finicky and the police pulled us over for rear lights being out . Overall a terrible experience, we won’t be back.Reviewed Sept 17 2026

It was unacceptable. I was not able to pick up the car due to mistakes made by the staff and was essentially told to resolve the issue myself and was not given any customer service in the slightest. I will never use this company and will actively tell others to avoid this company at all cost.Reviewed Aug 22 2025

Car did feel like someone previous had driven it very hard. Was not a smooth riding vehicle and braking was quite rough. Also oil lights kept coming on and had to add tyre air several times despite the person checking this and topping up air prior to taking the car.Reviewed Sept 1 2024

I reached there to find out that they didn’t have any cars left. Why would you book people when you know you won’t have cars. If you don’t have cars then atleast do the courtesy to call and notify ahead of time. It can ruin trips. Had to wait for almost half an hour for a customer to bring back the car and then they gave us the car with half the tank. On top of that they never have the kind of car available that was in the original booking. I booked a Sedan this time and I got a giant RAM truck with lot less fuel efficiency thereby costing me more for the trip. I think this should be fixed.Reviewed Feb 23 2024

We got there at the scheduled time and they did not have any cars! over 20 people waiting in line for their reservations and no cars. They shouldn't take a reservation if they don't have a car to rent.Reviewed Oct 1 2023
