The process of checking the car back in could have gone a little smoother. I was nervous about leaving the car without at least giving the keys to someone.

Pros:

They upgraded me to a larger vehicle for no additional charge.

Cons:

I returned it early before office hours. They billed me $229 which was more than the rental fee for an extra driver. But corrected it after my complaint.

There were not any actual cars there for us to rent even though we had booked in advanced. They did not try and call to let me know either.
