Nice that an employee, Willie, met me as I returned the car. As I told him, my only problem with the rental car was that it had four charging ports and not one of them was a standard USB connector. All C type charging, which i don’t use. So my phone kept dying because i couldn’t charge it.

The car itself was excellent - no complaints. The instructions for dropping off the car at the MGM airport could have been clearer -- I wasn't sure whether I needed to record the mileage, or the spot that I had parked in, etc. -- and no one was around. However when I arrived at the counter inside the airport, the lady was very friendly, helpful and efficient.
