4.8 Mediocre

Nisa, Jul 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

The rental car was not ready for pick up at our reservation time and we were told to wait for several hours after in order for someone else to drop off their car.

Cons:

The employees offered no solution and could not rectify the situation at all. We just had to deal with it.
