Pros:

Customer service at Palatine location was excellent!

Cons:

The car I requested was not available. My rate was adjusted and the team member and I found a car together that worked for me. No complaints, but it would’ve been nice to have the SUV. The car also had a distinct smell as if the previous renter had smoked A LOT of cigarettes inside of it. It was not unbearable, but I got out of the car smelling like the cigarettes. In retrospect, I would’ve found a vehicle without the smell.

The offices were closed when we arrived. Reservation was set for a time when the office was supposed to stay open but they changed their hours temporarily and didn’t update online nor made us aware of this.

I dealt with the manager of the branch, Edgar Murillo. He was extremely patient and willing to arrange my return time. I will highly recommend his location to my friends and neighbors. .
