Owner of the location where we picked up our car was great! Didn’t charge us for the booster seat we requested because he didn’t have much on hand to choose from. He upgraded our vehicle. And it still was so cheap and a great deal!Reviewed 21 Oct 2025

The car had a very bad cigarette smell. Smoking should not be allowed in cars. The person that was bringing the cars was smoking while working. The car was not clean when he brought to me. I asked for it to be washed. Inside cigarette smell was awful.Reviewed 21 Oct 2025

Car rental was a bait and switch. Get to the counter and find out that somewhere in the fine print we had selected an electric vehicle. It was $20/day extra to get a gas vehicle. We had selected a Toyota Corolla or equivalent which is what we ended up with for more money. Don't remember ever seeing an all electric Toyota Corolla. Very deceptive.Reviewed 19 Oct 2025
