Pros:
Car rental staff was nice, the location can't be beat--just get off the down escalator right by Baggage Claim and there it is!Cons:
Renters were at the mercy of whoever looked at the long list of reservations and did not authorize delivering more cars for rental until an SOS from the desk staff. Waited over an hour for cars to be available so they could rent them--NOT professional at all and very unhappy customers!Dollar
