Absolutely horrible. Multiple reservations made and canceled claiming cars were available when they actually weren't. Rude staff. Anonymous after-hours text canceled my reservation on short notice, then refused to refund my pre-paid amount. Had to spend several hours on phone grttinga refund. Will NEVER rent from them again. Canceling my Gold Membership with them

Branch Manager, Marcos Alarcon, is a conman (hence the last name). I arrived to pick up my reserved vehicle, and was denied for various reasons that were not disclosed in writing prior to arrival. His tone in delivery only allows my mind to be creative on what the underlying issue could be.
