These vehicles offer excellent performance on both highways and back roads, as well as greater stability and traction on rough or slippery terrain.

Pros:
Originally I book an SUV because I needed the space but found out that type of vehicle doesn’t come with unlimited miles so I had to change it to a compact. But when I got there the lady found us a sedan that had just been turned in. Fortunately for us the sedan worked better. Great experienceCons:

Pros:
Staff was friendly. No line. I appreciate that the staff didn't try to upsell me when I arrived. Return was easy too.Cons:
Got in to Danbury a bit late on the bus. Rental closed at 4, which is a bit early. Would have liked if staff could have waited 15-20 minutes for me to show up after I let them know. Also, when calling, if they were busy on the phone, I would automatically get redirected to the national service.8,0 Very Good

Pros:
The cars are relatively new, staff is usually nice and friendly, the prices are competative.Cons:
There is no parking on site so if you don't have anybody to drop you off and pick you up after rental it may turn out to a very challenging situation. The closest publick parking is about 5 min away and normally they offer you a lift but when I dropped the car after my last rental they just opened and it was no driver available. So walking for 30 min carrying the bags wasn't the most pleasant experience.Hertz
