Pros:

I find that they are not nice at that location. The girl was rude.I told her the car was dirty and she told me it was cleaned. There was kids candy ,fingerprints, and overall dirty. With covid 19 it should have been cleaner. She told me it had a half tank of gas and it didn't. There are plenty of places to rent but never them. Will tell others not to use them. They need to clean out and get new staff

Cons:

Everything could have been better with covid-19 it was so dirty and I told her that and she said well we use a cleaning service I so we'll look at the fingerprint and look at all the dirt on their she didn't even acknowledge it if it wasn't that I need the car I wouldn't even picked it up I brought it home and clean it myself that is horrible customer service they should get rid of that staff and start over there not nice people to deal with
