Pros:
Staff member Sarah was very nice.Cons:
The initial car had a broken windshield washer, and I was told there were no other cars available. After a call and a couple of trips back to the car rental place, they were able to find another car. It would have been unsafe to drive a car without a functioning windshield washer especially on snowy roads in Colorado.Hertz

May 2017
Pros:
The car I eventually was provided was very nice and in line with what I reserved.Cons:
At pickup, the agent at the counter attempted to provide a jumbo sized van in place of the Chrysler 200 (or similar) Standard car I reserved for my trip. When I refused the switch, I was told it was all that was available. I needed to pickup the car and start my trip, so that was both annoying and stressful. After a few minutes, the agent provided a Buick Larcrosse that was very nice, but only after I said that I would cancel and rent from another rental service. Not what a customer wants to deal with for a reserved booking at the start of a planned trip.10.0 Wonderful
