The pickup process was simple, but the drop off location had been temporarily closed without any notification. Because of this, I had to return my car to a different location and call for about an hour to be retroactively reimbursed, a really annoying process.

KAYAK

Pros:

Pickup and drop off went fine.

Cons:

The seats were awful. The reason I rented the Full Size SUV was to have a better seat for a long drive The KIA Sorrento did not have ant adjustments fo the seat angle or lumbar and were like sitting in a wood chair.

KAYAK

Pros:

Pick-up of the vehicle was very easy. Also, drop off on Sunday(closed) was also easy via the on-site drop box. The car was also clean.

Cons:

Shortly after leaving this location(after location had closed) it became very apparent that one of the tires on the vehicle had a very slow leak which was a nagging issue throughout the entire trip. The tire pressure was lower than the rest upon pick-up but I did not expect that it was actually leaking, simply under filled.

Pros:

This was a great car for a much lower price than the airport. For the price of a ride share we saved almost $800.

Liked the Kia nice little car and it was full of fuel. Several cars I’ve rented lately have been near empty so that was a nice change. Staff friendly and checked my car in right at closing and the lady went out of her way to check me in. Great service couldn’t be happier with this rental.

Cons:

When I picked the car up I didn’t see that the maintenance required light was on. When I called to ask for help I was transferred to three different people. I was lastly transferred to road side assistance whom I didn’t ask for and was scolded by them for bothering them. I ultimately called my own mechanic at 9 o’clock at night who helped me with the light.

Pros:

Got an upgraded version of the car I ordered because none were in stock.

Cons:

Car they gave me smelled like pot. Also had a noise coming from the wheel which I though was just a bad bearing but I ended up getting a flat after about 100 miles of through way driving. Had to drive 150 miles on a doughnut to find a car to a change it with

Cons:

The van was not clean inside or outside, It smelled and there was a dirty T-shirt in the back and other things the last renter left. The only reason I didn’t return it the moment we got in, we were headed to a funeral.

Mar 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

The workers were very friendly and helpful. We were able to upgrade with no problems. Car was clean and had no problems.

Cons:

Location on google maps is incorrect for this location. It showed up as the the airport location. This should be addressed to alleviate confusion.

6.0 Okay

Jan 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

The car functioned just fine.

Cons:

Tank was totally, completely empty when I received the car, seats were stained, and there was a dent in the side. When we returned the car, despite it being mid-day, there was no attendant in the garage, so we just had to go inside to drop the keys and go on faith that they'd remember all those problems and not charge us for them.

5.2 Fair

Pros:

Lots of extra charges on top of original quote. Extra days rental charge for being an hour late on return. No one at airport to speak with.
