The pick up and drop off were fine in both cities. The car was dirty and the windshield was so filthy I had to stop and buy window cleaner to see safely out of the window.Reviewed Aug 1 2024

Cons:Location was closed and no one contacted me before. I had to take a $15 cab to another location to get the car with a promise of reimbursement that never materialized. A huge hassle.Reviewed Nov 23 2020

Pros:Newer vehicles, lots of extrasCons:Car had obviously not been cleaned or sanitized since previous person rented it. Nothing vacuumed or wiped down, garbage still in it. These things are a must, especially in today’s environment. I had to clean and sanitize it when I got it home before I would let any of my family get in it, not very happy about that...Reviewed Sept 22 2020

Cons:Consider working together with travel purveyors (travelocity, kayak, expedia, et al) to more fairly compensate customers for unavoidable changes in travel plans during a pandemic. By "more fairly," I mean don't leave them SOL.Reviewed Apr 6 2020
