This helps you to reduce the time you would spend in the queue and ensures you don't miss on your preferred car type or brand.
- When driving in Burlington, always remember that the culture of jaywalking is rampant among pedestrians. It's quite common for a person to jump into the road, just in front of your car, and expect that you should not hit them. The same mentality is also common among drivers.

If you have to use this road, consider departing about 20 min earlier than the supposed time.

Cons:
I had a great experience with my rental, the only reason I give a good and not excellent on cleaning was because the car was washed before I got it, but was a quick wash, mirrors still had salt on them, was really hard to see merging on to the interstate from the airport at night and nowhere to pull off safely to clean them myself. But again, overall was a great experienceHertz

Pros:
I had reserved a car for travel. When I arrived I was told there was no car available. I had to drive to the airport and try to find a rental there. The young man there was very helpful and polite. He helped me find a car but the entire process was very frustrating. Time consuming and frustrating.Cons:
When you reserve a car for a trip you expect to have a car reserved. It was poorly handled and I am not sure how you can get away with not honoring a confirmation. I feel quite sure I am not the only one this has happened to as we witnessed another customer being told the same thing. I am not sure how your company finds this acceptable in this day and time with as much feed back that customers are able to express on social media. Individuals plans and itineraries are extremely important to them when they need a car for traveling. I have also tried to reach someone by phone today unsuccessfully. Put or hold forever or just no answer. Unacceptable!2,0 Poor
