Cons:

We rented an SUV and when we got there to pick it up all they had was a tiny car left so we traveled from Michigan all the way to key west with 2 adults a teen and a 5yr old in an itty bitty car but it was Saturday and nothing else was open to rent something different and I had already paid for our hotels so I couldn't change the dates either

Counter man was helpful and friendly. The issue is corporate! I had a confirmed reservation as did all eight people in line in front of me. The first two of us got cars. All the rest of us were told there were no cars available. While I was there, a truck showed up from Detroit to haul away cars from the Kalamazoo fleet, decimating it, and I’m sure the same thing had happened previously, causing the lack of cars. BAD CORPORATE DECISION! If I can’t count on a reservation being honored, I’ll never rely on that company again.

They wouldn’t let me get it cause I had a debit card even though I rented from them just a few days before…I was leaving that day and then had to scramble to find another car. I had a friend with me who could have rented the car but they said they didn’t have any…but what about the car I was suppose to rent…they refused to put it in her name…will never go through them again
