Jun 2020
Pros:
The overall process was excellent. Staff, Company and company to customer was excellent.Cons:
Not sure what features were available in Jeep model. - We were 7000+ feet on climb which our SUV handled well. When it came to steep decline (coming down the mountain), the button to turn on decline going 5 mph feature was disabled. My concern on steep decline from 7000+ feet was a concern if I would burn the braking system. Not sure if this is a feature that needs to be purchased, but at the same time there was a risk. Overall: Great SUV and would recommend to others.9.2 Wonderful

Found trash throughout the car. Not small crumbs, but center counsel was full of junk and found straws between seats. The vehicle was not a full tank, which is annoying when picking up a car.9.6 Wonderful
Oct 2017
Pros:
Nice check in Clerk though very busy. I got a great price and was lucky to get an upgrade to a brand new Volkswagen. Amazing price from Amazon and Avis. The clerk says Avis has their own insurance for $11 which would be easier if you had a problem because they will say they take care of instead of going through a third-party8.4 Very good

Pros:
I had the available to have a car but that is it.Cons:
The care rented was a Truck that was burning oil it smelled horrible the tires were old. As we did the drop off we had to go up stairs because we rented the car from Concord with a drop off at SFO airport paperwork was not done correctly for that and I paid way too much money for this car I am extremely disappointed. Plus I took the $30 insurance coverage. I actually drove to San Fran parked the car at my son's and took uber around because the smell was bad. I am a travel agent from OKT --33644332 I would appreciate some type of compinsation in this matter .Plus the fact that your counter help seem some what displaced in providing information.
