Drivers are typically less impatient, and the residents strictly abide by traffic regulations. The city has many roundabouts; approach the intersections and roundabouts with caution. Also, slow down when approaching populated areas, as encountering jaywalking in these areas is unsurprising. Ensure your vehicle is equipped with safety features like effective tires for grip since road surfaces get wet and slippery. Drive carefully on wet roads.

Several locals in the city access the city with private vehicles, usually occasioned by vehicles and motorbikes scrambling for position, leading to heavy traffic.

Booked my car a week in advance with my credit card. 7 days later went to pick up my car and they told me they didn’t accept my credit card, AFTER ALREADY TAKING THE MONEY OUT. So I was left with no money and no car to get to lung transplant follow up appointment out of state the next morning. They told me to “go down the street and open up a different bank account” after filing a complaint, the manager told me they could’ve accepted it the card after all if they had just looked into the situation a little deeper instead of brushing it off. So now I’ve missed my doctors appointment and I’m still waiting on a refund.8,0 Very Good

Pros:
I liked the comfort of the car and it's cornering. The staff was very nice and accommodating.Cons:
I HATE all the assists on the car. It would constantly grab the wheel and forcibly turn it back into the lane if I got too close to the line. I also could not figure out the display panel without reading the manual. Also, the wait time at the Gallatin Pike office was exceedingly long. We had to wait for them to go pick up a car from the lot and it took a long time.6,4 Okay

Pros:
The agent explained the basic operations of the vehicle, which was really helpful as I always have to search to figure each new car's set-up.Cons:
Other than a sign to state that we could not enter the office, there was no indication of where to stand outside so there was confusion on who was next in line to be served. Additionally, it was extremely sunny and hot and there were no coverings or shade to wait in. The agent did not inform me that the rental drop-off location in DC that was on my reservation is currently closed due to COVID-19, so I didn't know that I had to drop-off the vehicle at a completely different location than I had selected.10,0 Wonderful
