They told me that I had to provide official document to prove when I entered the country. I followed their instructions to gain access to e-devlet. When I came back with what they asked for but they said reservation is closed because I didn't pick up my prepaid reservation within 3 hours. They said nothing about 3 hours when they instructed me to get a certain document. They didn't truly cancel the reservation and give my money back.Reviewed 2026 May 27

Coming from the north to drop off the car, there were no signs to determine where to find the rental drop off. There were no maps from pick-up to show how to get out of the airport or back in to it.. Apple Maps took me to a hanger north of the airport and said I was 200ft from the drop off. In a mostly empty parking lot. The small Budget office outside of the Airport loop that I found told me to go west on “379 to the end, about 3 miles, and follow the signs”. There were NO signs until I had bumbled my way to the Southern side of the airport now going east and started heading north around the airport. I spent an hour going back on forth trying to locate the rental drop-off.Reviewed 2026 May 26

We were thrilled to find a car available to drive from Detroit to Chicago late Sunday evening when our flight was cancelled. The employee at the rental counter was friendly and professional despite it being the middle of the night and us being frazzled. The price was reasonable (especially for a one-way trip) and the car was spacious and clean!Reviewed 2026 May 26
