It was a seamless experience! The front desk experience went smoothly and quickly, the staff was attentive and helpful. I didn’t get the Chevy Malibu as I had hoped, but the car I got was even better: the 2026 VW Jetta GLI. It drove like a dream. No issues whatsoever. It was clean and smelled good. I was happy that there was an unlimited mileage option. Bringing it back went smoothly and quickly as well. Only thing was I was told at the front desk to keep my gas receipt to show I filled it up before dropping it off and the attendant in the lot said that wasn’t necessary. Besides that, everything went fine!Reviewed May 17 2026

Good value. Happy with the experience, however it took 3 days for the charge to go through and no receipt/email or word after drop off. Wish for a bit more communication.Reviewed Mar 4 2026

They need to tell you the damage to the cars before renting them so you can verify that and any damage you found. There was a chip in the glass that couldn't be seen in the underground lot till i went outside luckily i saw it and called it in. All in all was a good experience. Saved money going through Kayak thanks.Reviewed Dec 12 2025
