Pick up took 3 rounds before we got picked up. Bus was small and too many customers. It took 2 hours to get from airport to rental place and finally get a car. Long line and not enough workers. Then one left with lots of people still in line. Took way too long for the whole process. When finally processes over 2 hours late the car was not ready. But I did get an upgrade so can’t complain too much.Reviewed Oct 28 2025

Didn’t get the car I pre paid. Got another car and the clerk was ZERO help. Her option was to downgrade my carReviewed Oct 28 2025

Awful front desk situation. Rude workers but in all honesty it’s hard to blame them when everyone complains all day. The manager told me they had 50 cada and only two people cleaning them. Sounds like a bad business model to me. Needless to say people waiting for hours for their cars that they’d pre-reserved. Such a buzzkill to start the vacay.Reviewed Aug 3 2025
