Horrible experience, the required insurance added $1000 to the rental. The vehicle was in very poor condition, with dents and scrapes all over it. The check engine light and tire pressure warning lights went off constantly, and the USB port did not function, which was the recommended method for navigation (via phone).Reviewed 8 Nov 2025
