No same-day rental. I booked six hours in advance, and the reservation went through once I landed and went to the kiosk, only to find out there was no car available because they don’t do same-day rentals.Reviewed Jul 22 2026

The car was obviously not cleaned before hand. There was pet hair clinging to the seats and there was a rental agreement from a previous renter in the middle storage compartment. It’s probably still in there. This was never my experience before.Reviewed May 10 2026
