Pros:

The staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

They noticed a hole in the driver's seat but did not record it. The staff in Alexandria claimed that I needed to pay for the hole, even though it is quite clear that the tiny hole in the seat is very old. She claims that there is no record. I would like signed affidavits from the staff that they saw the hole before even got into the car.

Cody at pick up and drop off was great. We had car trouble and had to exchange at Indianapolis airport I ask women when we called do I have to up car with gas to drop off she said no at airport the girl charged me $117.63 for gas I told her what woman had said it is not our fault that the car went bad she was rude and said that is policy. Someone needs to train her and she is not customer friendly. But Cody did take care of the gas charge when we got back very appreciative
