No body was in the desk to return the car. I called the company to find out how to return the car. the lady was very helpful and she found the information where was the drop box. She told me that the drop box was outside the Airport below the hertz sign. I suppose to return the car at 4.00pm Oct. 21 2017. I did at 3.33pm Oct 21 2017. I dropped the key with the copy of the recipe were said the time to return the car. Thank you for your help. Jorge estrada2,0 Poor
