May 2021
Cons:
We rented our car, and once I got up to speed the car started to rumble, like it was terribly out of balance. I had a reservation in Chicago and was already a half an hour away from our pickup location. At that point we decided to try to find a possible replacement but all locations in the area were closed. We tried to call our pickup location to report our issue to make sure they knew about it and no one answered. The rear view mirror also wiggled a lot while driving, we had to stick a napkin in it to hold it still. The outside of the car was filthy and there were coffee cups left in the back seat from the renter before us. A very unpleasant experience. Glad it’s over. The receptionist was understanding when we brought it back, very thankful for that.10.0 Wonderful

Jul 2020
Pros:
The "Staff" - one person - was friendly the first time through the line. Under a lot of pressure. other employee quit without notice. Long lines all day. Was not able to process my debit card. I called my bank. Made certain everything was in order. Waited through the long line again. She was still not able to process the debit card. I think because she had low level equipment - no chip capability - Then she got "snarky". I was not able to rent the car that had been reserved for me. I felt stranded in a strange town. I had to impose on my elderly cousin to drive me 125 miles to catch another ride.Cons:
Provide more up to date processing equipment. I was not the only person having serious issues that day because of antiquated communications equipment.2.0 Poor
