Car that I rented had over 50K miles. Dented, scratched, bad shocks and just drove terribly. Car should not have been part of the rental fleet.Reviewed Dec 15 2025

Picking up the vehicle was a nightmare. The computer system was updating and kept going down. Took over two hours standing in line and to actually get my vehicle. Drop off was very easy.Reviewed Dec 12 2025

I never rented the car. Went in at my 4pm reservation time and there were 5 individuals/families in front of me. Waited 30 minutes; no one had been given a car. I asked the sole attendant what the issue was and he said there were system issues. He suggested I come back in 30 minutes. I came back an hour later. 3 of the 5 individuals were still waiting. I gave it another 30 minutes and at 6pm I told him to cancel our reservation and I walked over to National. I had a car in 15 minutes.Reviewed Dec 11 2025

The rude worker at the counter made us uncomfortable. He told us multiple things that were untrue in an effort to get us to pay for a more expensive vehicle and to purchase additional options and insurance.Reviewed Dec 1 2025

Didn’t rent the car because they require you to purchase the insurance. $50 turned into $450 so we walked away and took the bus. Was a great trip regardless.Reviewed Nov 30 2025
