Pickup at Sacramento airport took a bit longer than expected. The representative was great. The Jeep Compass was a bit small to be considered a mid size SUV. My husband was barely able to see under the top edge of the windshield because it was so small and there was mo way to lower the seat. The trunk space was small as well. Drop off at Reno was extremely easy and the attendant was very friendly and efficient.Reviewed 1 Aug 2026

The car was clean and pick up and drop off were very easy. However I never received an invoice/contract for the rental. This has led to confusion over how much I paid and what I was paying for. I would have loved to have seen a breakdown of what I was paying for.Reviewed 1 Aug 2026

We were in an accident and had full coverage, but was not able to get another vehicle nor was I able to get a ride back out of the state I had driven to. I had to get another family member to come get me.Reviewed 30 July 2026

Deducting the 1000qar (guarantee)is strange, Usually they (all my rental all over the world for the last 40 years) freeze this money till you return the car, I took the car one week ago,and I returned the car 4 days ago,the money didn’t come back so far ThanksReviewed 30 July 2026
