Pros:
Customer service was excellent! Personal very professional acting. Car was clean inside and out which is difficult during Maine's winter months. It was nice finding snow brush and ice scraper in the back seat during the encounters with winter weather. Thank you!Cons:
I rented a car that was light in the weight department and not good on Maine's snow covered roads. Had three days of snow during my seven day rental and out of fear of getting into an accident; stay home and did not use the rental the last two snow days of the 3 snow days.Easirent
