Pros:
The car was exactly what I reserved.Cons:
Reserved for pick up at Noon. Showed up at 1. Waited 45 minutes for the car as it was "cleaned." The "clean" car had empty jool cases, food wrappers and food in the cup holders and between the seats. Also the car came with an empty tank. As in the gas light was on.Sixt
