Everything was pretty good except the cleanliness of the car. The inside was awful - there was food on the carpet and wrappers in the doors. It also smelt of cigarette smoke.Reviewed 17 Jul 2025

Only one employee was working the counter at MCO, while there was a massive lineup of customers when I was waiting to pickup my rental. I waited for over 2-hours in the evening. A second employee arrived just as I reached the front of the line. The car’s engine light was on when I picked it up, and when I asked the garage attendant about swapping a vehicle, they said we’d have to go to the desk inside the terminal again - my family and I could not even think about spending more time trying to get on the road so we just drove away with the engine light on in our original vehicle. The fastbreak account option seemed like it may be a good solution to skipping the lineup, but the booking had to be made through that account and I didn’t know about it until it was too late. Next time, I will explore booking through fastbreak.Reviewed 17 Jul 2025

It was ok at best. They did not have the vehicle that I reserved. No upgrades available. Nothing until 3-4 hours until after my scheduled pickup time. Due to time constraints I settled for a smaller crossover SUV. It was decent however it Did have a dent on tail gate. The interior was clean enough but stains on driver seat and had an odor that did not dissipate throughout the trip. The compensation that I received was a simple I did not have to fuel the vehicle up for my return. The price was only marginally cheaper since I unfortunately went with a smaller vehicle. Overall, not my best rental experience.Reviewed 15 Jul 2025

Line was three hours long. Horrific.Reviewed 15 Jul 2025

Absolutely the worst!! It took over 2 hours in line in a dark underground parking lot in 90 degree heat to get the car and I was informed this wasn't out of the ordinary. My 1 year old and I had to go down 3 more levels into an even darker corner of the lot to actually get the car. We waited here for another 20 mins. Completely awful experience! No grade is worthy for this experience other than an "F"Reviewed 15 Jul 2025
