Pick up was a very long wait at the airport and we had to wait for a car to be washed. Even though we had reserved a 7 passenger car we almost didn’t get one. It was a little frustrating. The car ended up being perfect and stop off was super easy.

People were great. Car was not in good condition- wheels needed balancing and the car seems to have been abused previously. The shuttle bus drop-off didn't happen so I walked from the agency back to the airport.
