Friendly, helpful staff everywhere. The car itself (a Ford Kuga) was "low quality" with a squeaky transmission and fairly high on gaz consumption -- not quite what a "like VW Golf" promised, but at the price I paid, no complaints!Reviewed 25 Aug 2026

When I showed up for my pickup time, they said they didn’t have any inventory and I had to find a rental somewhere else. Call in advance even if you have a pickup time.Reviewed 25 Aug 2026

My pick up was delayed by about 45 minutes because the employees had to clean the vehicle I was renting. I'm not sure if this was a staffing issue or lack of preparedness, but it nearly made me late for an appointment.Reviewed 24 Aug 2026

The staff was great. There was a problem with billing. Took a while after getting back to resolve it and issued a refund. Will let you know if the refund comes through. Everything else was great.Reviewed 24 Aug 2026

They forced us to buy their expensive insurance, despite me telling them we purchased a different insurance. They told us either you buy our insurance or no car to rent.Reviewed 24 Aug 2026
