Cons:
I picked up the car at Islip Long Island. as customary I walked the car with the agent The care was not washed but there were no marks. I decided to add $9 per day insurance which I usually do not do. But I was doing a one way to Vermont and dropping it off at Hartford Ct on 1/1/17 When I dropped the car off, the agent went over the car. Because It was not there location of rental, your agent took some extra time. as I was climbing on the bus to catch my flight she came to me about hail damage on the roof. Who looks at the roof during a pick up. your LI agent and I surely didnt. she took my copy of my invoice and noticed that I had obtained the $9 insurance and I took the bus.
