The car and rental was good.. upon returning the car i had some pictures of some slight damage. U couldn’t see it very good in the pictures cause of the sun. It seemed to me the girl checking the car thought i did some very minor scrapes. I guess i will see when they take the payment off of my750.00 deposit. I asked if i needed to sign anything and she said no that i could go with no paperwork. I thought that it was odd. So i hope all goes well. The car was great. Ran great and good on fuelReviewed 13 May 2026

I was cheated on fuel. The car was given to me about half full. The GMC Denali doesn’t have a standard fuel gauge but miles till empty. I returned the car full and the agent promised me a $50.00 credit which I did not receive.Reviewed 12 May 2026

The employees working there are not very good, they make fun of their customers, if they don't know about the rental policy. And the car they gave me was not good at all, the breaks was not working properly and car was making noise.Reviewed 11 May 2026
