The car was fantastic and the service is even better, I wasn’t waiting for a long time and the reservation was on very short notice! I would certainly use the service again in the near future.

The car I got had a wheel/bearing issue making constant noise, when I called about it they said I was outside my return window and that if anything happened to call emergency roadside... The tire felt and sounded like it was rubbing and grinding and I was worried they would think I caused it...

Pickup and drop off was great. All fees were noted upfront. Only thing is it was a lot more expensive to rent a car. About 3 times more expensive than I expected.

Lady at counter was really nice but it took over 30 min to get car because flight was late so I picked it up next morning and rate was way higher. It took forever to straighten that out and almost made me late for what I rented car for.
