Oct 2019
Pros:
Car upgradeCons:
Car was filthy. Poorly cleaned. I went shopping and opened the trunk to put my stuff to find two huge black bags taking up the trunk. Needless to say i was extremely disappointed and frustrated because i now had to stuff everything inside the car even though i had passengers including a child. It was very stressful. I needed the car for one day and it was totally ruined for me.8,0 Very Good

May 2020
Pros:
First the staff told me they would pick me up from the location I was at and then later told me they are not doing that anymore. No one ever told me that the location I instructed to drop off the location was closed. So I had to drive over 100km to drop off the car. The rental company put some other location in the drop off location.Cons:
It would be nice if this location would not jerk their customers around.10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
We received an upgrade don't know why? The vehicle was more what we needed and the price was same as the smaller car. The person we dealt with was polite, explained the rental to us, and return policy if closed. We were pleased with the performance of the vehicle. Rented enterperise in the past and also had good service.10,0 Wonderful
