  • Mount Vernon car rentals allow travelers to explore the beautiful city at their own pace and schedule, unlike public transportation. Mount Vernon is known for its over 400-year-old history and rich cultural heritage, which attracts many people to the city. The city boasts its historic sites, monuments, and museums for everyone to enjoy. With your rental car, you are free to travel anywhere in Mount Vernon; for instance, take a day trip to Branson Zipline & Canopy Tour about 40 miles southeast of Mount Vernon to enjoy forest views while zipping along a forest canopy on a steel cable.

When driving behind a school bus flashing red lights, you must stop at least 25 feet from it.

  • Heavy traffic is a common challenge in Mount Vernon. The morning rush hours start from around 6 am, last to 9 am, and are more experienced from the afternoon to evening ones, which begin from around 3 pm and last until 6 pm The drivers in this city are known to be aggressive, especially those taking U-turns.

Pros:

Your ordering service is terrible. I went to pick up the car at the hertz rental and the office was closed. Your kayak service booked a vehicle at a closed location and i had to book another car with a different car rental company directly. I will never use your service again.

Cons:

Ensure your APIs check whether or not a car rental location is open before directing users to that location. Lots of locations have changed office hours due to covid19.

I flew all the way from Florida to New York for a wedding this weekend. I took a train an hour and a half from the city to this car rental location. To find out that they only had one EV left even though I requested a gas vehicle and paid extra for it. I was told that the EV should have a full battery which when I looked up should be about 300 miles and the wedding was 80 miles away so 160 miles round-trip. When I got in the EV there was only 14% battery in about 50 miles worth of charge left on the vehicle. I spent over an hour trying to get the vehicle charged which cost me $15. Even though I was told it should be cheaper than gas by a little bit by the employee. And two hours charging the vehicle. I left my hotel at 12 o’clock and didn’t get to the wedding which was only an hour and a half away until 615 or around there. The wedding started at 5:15 PM and I was late by over an hour even though I factored in to get there two hours ahead of time.I am very upset and I miss the vowels and was the last person to attend the wedding and it ruined there special day for me and the bride and groom.

Pros:

Harís Was amazing how he greeted me he was very knowledgeable he showed me the car I was in a rush so he tried to do the work as fast as possible to get me out of there I’m just really impressed and because of the experience that he showed me, I will be a lifelong customer of Avis and leave budget Rent-A-Car. You guys are my new number one because of the treatment I received at that location by him.

Cons:

Absolutely impressed nothing could’ve been better that’s how amazing it was
