I do not understand the logic behind a car rental agency that is one hr from the Rockie mtns not listing only winter tire vehicles. To leave it as an upgrade and significant cost at the counter is outrageous. It may not be law to have winter tires on the vehicles being rentable, but highlight that fact on your booking site. It is misleading and not a fair price comparison. And, the amount of surcharges etc are obscene and should be disclosed on your final booking ONLINE, again NOT at the ticket counter when everyone is in a frenzy to get on the road to their destination. As well, there was no walk thru of the vehicle features like windshield wipers, lights, gas tank etc. At initial use of my wiper blades the wipers did not actually touch the glass and was left w a blob of frozen windshield fluid which I had to pullover and scrape off. Eventually the wipers must have warmed up and we’re operational. I was very dissatisfied w my experience and shocked at the outrageous cist of my online quote if $358 to walking away w a key for $958!!? Pls investigate this further, I’d be happy to share my documents!!!!!!!!Reviewed Mar 14 2023
