My experience was ok. I picked up the van with full tank of gas but the vehicle was dirty inside and had a bad odor. I had to take it to the car wash and vacuum the whole inside before I put my kids in.

Pros:

Horrible experience! They did not have the car type I reserved and sent me to the airport, rather than make the call for me. I went to the airport where promised me they could get a minivan but that I would have to pay a higher rate. "We'll honor your reservation, but you'll have to pay today's price instead of the price we agreed when you reserved the minivan."

Cons:

Actually having the car I reserved and then not trying to extort me for an unagreed price.
