We were misquoted on the cost of the rental car, by the ship guest relations. We were told $247. Actuall cost was $745. Check out at rental Car desk was a long wait and we had to walk way to get the car in the garage with luggage in tow.Reviewed 21 Sept 2026

Renter beware! Do not recommend for traveling one way across country lines. We had added costs at pickup that I was not aware of when booking online. $600 one-way fee, plus forcing us to purchase car insurance even though we kept saying we have it through our CC. Our rental ended up costing us over $1K!! I was not prepared for that. Next time, I will be using buses and trains to get around.Reviewed 19 Sept 2026
