First of all the car was filthy. Dirt on the floor stains on the seats and used toothpicks stuck on the door. For as much as we paid that was ridiculous Charlene harbin 5025238713Reviewed 23 Apr 2024

We had a 9am pick up time and got to the pick up location on time only to find a sign that said “be back in 30 minutes”. When the employees finally showed up they gave us a car that was very damaged. We took the car and once we got on the freeway the car was violently shaking so we had to go back and exchange the car for another. That vehicle only had a quarter tank of gas so we had to stop and get gas. This all caused major delays in our travel.Reviewed 22 Apr 2024

Once we had the car, everything was fine. The process to get the car was frustrating. It wasn't available when we arrived so the agent tried to sneak us into a compact size car not a standard size car. When I questioned that, it was like I was the one with the problem. So then we had to wait to have a standard size car cleaned. Didn't seem like there was any urgency to try and help us to get us out of there.Reviewed 22 Apr 2024

Don't rent an electric car. Chargers are not simple to use and are not easily found and available.Reviewed 22 Apr 2024

We waited 30 minutes for our rental vehicle before they finally gave us another one that was not washed or cleaned out. They were unable to find the vehicle that the customer agent had assigned to us. The drop off line to enter the garage was long. The easiest part was handing the keys in for the vehicle.Reviewed 22 Apr 2024
