When I booked the car online, I called ahead to make sure the car I selected would be available. The person I spoke to assured me that there wouldn't be any issues with getting the car I wanted. However, 30-45 minutes before I was supposed to pick it up, I got a call saying they didn't have any premium cars available, only small economy cars.

Pros:

The young man working the counter was pleasant while telling me that they had NO CARS, NO POWER and NO WAY TO GET ME A CAR.

Cons:

The reservation system needs to be in better sync with the rental location so when there's an issue like NO POWER at the pick up site and NO CARS available, a customer doesn't waste money taking an Uber to the store only to have to waste more taking another Uber home!!!
