I have rented many cars in many states, and your employee, was the nicest and friendliest car rental employee I have ever met. Most act they are doing you a favor renting you a car. And do not care how long you wait. And she did everything herself. Checked you in and brought up the car and checked your car back in. I have not rented cars from certain companies, when I return to the same area, because of poor service. I would rent here again, based on this employee. She was great to work with.
