The counter guy was very efficient and suggested an alternative to my original request from gasoline to an electric car. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant. I highly recommend this establishment

Pros:

they refunded the gas I put in on the first car

Cons:

they need to maintain their cars, first one with overheating sign, 2nd one has oil change blinking warning. It stressed us out and wasted some of our time.

My experience with State Van Rental was ok. The attended was professional and explained there process. What could have been better….. an updated van. I like how the attendant came and picked us up and drop us right off at the drop off area for our flight. In my next travel if a van is needed I will use them again.

We got to the office to drop off the van we rented at 7:35am and the office was closed. We had to wait for the manager to get there. Who arrived at 7:45am, and the everything worked out fine and seamless, but we got a little nervous because no one informed us the wouldn't be working.
