Victor was great and handled the customers during the rush well. The car could have been cleaner, but it worked for our purposes. Pickup and drop off where reasonable, although a bit of wait since the office appears to be short of staff.Reviewed 7 Jan 2026

Picking up the rental car went smoothly. I had a tire blow out and then I was given replacement car that was supposed to be 4-6 hours before it arrived. Then I sat on the road side for over 10 hours before the car was delivered! This didn’t make me happy. I was supposed to be getting a coupon for a rental car in the future. The coupon never arrived! Not having any luck being a budget customer! 😏😒Reviewed 6 Jan 2026

I reserved an automatic SUV. I received a manual compact. When I complained they said that’s all we have. I had no other options so I took it. And paid the same rate.Reviewed 6 Jan 2026

They didn’t have my reservation when I arrived. I ended up spending 6x’s as much on a rental at the airport. This was absolutely the worst experience with a car rental. I should have used a different site that Kayak.Reviewed 6 Jan 2026
