After landing at the airport and taking the bus to the rental location. I had to wait in line for well over an hour just to pick up a rental vehicle that I had booked well ahead of time online. I thought the process was going to be way faster and I will be thinking twice before booking online again.Reviewed Nov 10 2025

Horrible experience, the required insurance added $1000 to the rental. The vehicle was in very poor condition, with dents and scrapes all over it. The check engine light and tire pressure warning lights went off constantly, and the USB port did not function, which was the recommended method for navigation (via phone).Reviewed Nov 8 2025
