Booked Ford Edge or equivalent. Got a Toyota 4Runner. Difficult for 79 yo to get in and out. Plus wanted to evaluate Ford Edge. Disappointing. Check-in process via iPhone ineffective. Did not just show ID and receive keys.

The pick up and drop off staff were friendly enough. The car when i picked it up was really dirty inside and out. I had to ask the guy to vacuum it and even when he was done it was still really dirty. The car was covered with dust outside. It was my first experience on renting a car that was not cleaned up prior to renting and it has a lot of dents / scratches that maybe a good thing so nobody would steal from it?
