Rental counter and friendly staff were across from baggage pickup at this small airport in Escanaba, MI. The car was about 50 yards away in the lot. I was OK with the Camry though I'd rented a compact SUV. Return was even easier -- staff met me in the parking lot and took it from there.

Efficient and friendly staff. Vehicle was clean and ready when we got to airport. Great experience and would use again. Already have recommended the service for a friend that needs to rent a vehicle

Cons:

I was informed that my rental car was not available 2 hours prior to pick up and that there were no other vehicles available at this location. It would have been helpful to know this information hours in advance (i.e. first thing that morning) since all my travel plans were contingent on getting this vehicle on time.
