Excellent customer service, car was in perfect condition. Pick up was a breeze and everything went very well. Just wish there was a overnight drop off for keys at this location.

Pros:
Staff and the car itself were nice.
Cons:
Being told I will have to pay double the price I originally booked when I came to pick up the car.
They did not have a car. They had no cars even though the site allowed me to make a reservation. The people there said that they don’t update their inventory. It looks like they have lots of cars online. You can select among many cars and classes, but they didn’t have a single car that we could rent despite making a reservation the same day. We were stranded. They said we could wait until their close time but couldn’t guarantee that there would be a car for us. I’m not talking about the type/model that we reserved. They said there were no cars available at all. It’s ridiculous that you can make a reservation online and show up without any cars of any class being available. I don’t know how they run a business.
