Payment issues on pickup

Pros: The actual car was fine. Well equipped for the conditions i drove it in.

Cons: At pickup the counter worker could not process the car on my visa for some reason and blamed my card for the problem. We tried another card from mastercard and same problem. Then we tried a third card a visa and it worked. Seems like their system only likes certain cards from certain banks. So bring a few cards with you!

Pros: The car we were given reeked of smoke. They promptly gave us a replacement and an upgrade for the inconvenience. No complaint for making things right.

Cons: I am concerned the lack of a thorough post inspection process could pass a problem on to the next renter. As with any car rental from any company, always do your own pre-inspection.

Disorganized, lack of information

Pros: They gave us a decent rate when there was a discrepancy between their records and what we were quoted

Cons: No idea the location was off-airport; it was apparently about a km away. When we got to the airport and discovered this, we tried to call the contact number we were given. It was a central number and they knew nothing about how to contact them directly. We ended up walking there because we didn't actually know how far it was - all we had was an address. On top of this, they changed to an on-airport location between the times of our pickup and drop-off, and though they told us about this, they gave little to no information about how to handle that. They had in fact merged their operations with another company, but they didn't tell us that. No signs in the new drop-off location - we had to run around to other rental companies to try to get some information.

Disorganized, lack of information

Pros: They gave us a decent rate when there was a discrepancy between their records and what we were quoted
