The person who checked us out told us one time verbally for drop off and it ended up being a time when they were closed. We had to go to a different location up for drop off

Lengthy pick up process. Would be good to have parking nearby for those driving to collect a rental. A lot of hidden costs

The lady at the pickup was very unhelpful for the insurance options. She made us worried although we have coverage. We almost done double insurance with charging $51 per day

This was my first time renting a car, and besides the wait to pick up a car at the beginning, I had a very easy time as a first time car renter. Customer service was very nice at pickup and drop off and for the car I got, the price was very reasonable.
