All was good and quick. Only odd item was the initial fuel level was 1/2 tank, so obligation was only to return with 1/2 tank. Although I went a few gallons over to 3/4 tank. Full tank departures are easier.Reviewed Jul 27 2026

Pick up was okay, the car was blocked in but they adjusted it. Drop off was sloppy and disorganized, they don’t pay much attention to anything. Finally I found the person to drop off my car to and they wanted me to park the car, so it took awhile with how they had the cars double-parked but I could do it. The lady immediately bumped the door when she jumped in to check the mileage, even though I checked it out with non damage. Great staff at pick up counter though he was very professional and quick.Reviewed Jul 27 2026

Great experience. Van was perfect for the trip. Fit 6 people very comfortably and plenty of room for our luggage although we all had smallish overnight bagsReviewed Jul 27 2026

They stated the tank was full.. but was not.. they reasoned with "it depends on the last person usage and indicated different amount when full?!Reviewed Jul 27 2026

I was not able to get the car I reserved because an additional $3,000 was going to be held on my card on top of the $1,300 that the car rental and insurance (which I was forced to pay) was going to cost. It was the worst car rental experience I’ve ever had and I will only rent from Sixt and Turo moving forward. They are the only companies that always provide a great rental experience and tell you everything up front so you know what to expect when renting the vehicle.Reviewed Jul 27 2026

Easy to pick up and drop off. My only concern was the front wiper blades were useless as the old rubber had gone hard and the blades just smeared all the dirt and dust all over the screen when I tried to clean the window which wasn't very safe as the visibility was then awful.Reviewed Jul 26 2026

The pickup process was chaotic. It was written on my booking confirmation (after I completed pre-check in paperwork online) that I would go to the Fastbreak counter to get my car - this was not correct and I almost had to go back to the other check in counter that had a very long line. There was also a quarter tank of gas in the car and I had along trip ahead of me that night so having to stop for gas wasn’t ideal.Reviewed Jul 25 2026
