Pros:
Easy pickup and drop off. Staff very attentive and friendly as well.Cons:
Better rates for the insurance. I did the waiver and was really worried. National should be more competitive or offer discounts.3 locations in Lynchburg

Pros:
The staff helped me t sync my phone since I had never done it before and all was easy after that.Cons:
I had not requested this kind of car, yet I found that I was more than pleased with every aspect of it. And since I sat in that car for three days straight, driving from east coast to west coast, that is saying quite a lot.6.0 Okay

Pros:
Car was nice, clean, and comfortable.Cons:
Rate at pickup was about $70 more than rate quoted. (This was quickly fixed.) Drop-off point was a Mazda Dealership - there wasn't any signage at all. I had to ask the sales guys if I was in the right place and, even after they pointed me to the right place, the only "signage" was a COVID notice on the door and a rug on the floor INSIDE the facility. When a customer is trying to return property you by a specific deadline, this additional stress is not a good thing.2.0 Poor
