The agent seemed to be overwhelmed, he was the only one there. He couldn’t find my reservation in the beginning. But I finally managed to get a car. I brought it back in 4 1/2 hours and he was still busy said he would email me my receipt, never got it and I’m still seeing pending charges on my credit card after 3 days he never closed my rental. I finally had to call and hopefully they will straighten this out
