Overall, a good experience. The line up to get our vehicle unfortunately was 1 hour long and they placed a hold on our visa until the vehicle was returned (even though the vehicle was prepaid.). The SUV though was new and clean with no issues.Reviewed 2026 Mar 19

I was initally put into a filthy, beat-up vehicle with what appeared to be dried spit dripping down the speedometer. The car was as far away from the terminal as it could have been and no one at the outside booth could swap out the car which requiring a walk back into the airport. Just horrible.Reviewed 2024 Dec 19

I thought that the car could have been cleaner. When I lowered the stow and go seats there were crumbs and other debris, nothing large but it should have been cleaned better on the interior.Reviewed 2024 Jun 06
