Jan 2020
Pros:
The drop off was super easy.Cons:
I think I was fooled into paying that ~$23 for a car with gas. I did not use very much gas at all in the <24hrs that I had the car and the gas prices were so cheap in Michigan. I honestly probably used less than $8 worth of gas. I am from California so I did not know any better, I guess.10.0 Wonderful
Dec 2019
Pros:
Fairly easy access and drop off. Got a nice car at a reasonable rate and staff was capable and friendly.Cons:
Only wish drop off access was after passenger drop off area so you would not have to drive around the airport loop after dropping off luggage and other passengers.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The manager finally fixed the screw up, but it took a while.Cons:
I rented a sports car, meaning a Dodge Challenger or similar. When I got there, they were going to give me some mid-size 4-door. I told the employee that I paid for a sports car, and he said he knew that, but it didn’t matter because I will take what they give me and they didn’t have any available9.6 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff was friendly, efficient, and did not try to pressure me to purchase services I did not want or need. His instructions for finding the car wete good.Cons:
Bevause of Covid19 thete were few customers and many cars in the return area. The signage told me to park in an area already filled, the signs should have been moved. However the one employee in the return area was very busy with many things to accomplish. I got it figured out fine.6.4 Okay

Cons:
I ordered a 7 passenger + 3 bags and when I went to pick up vehicle they did not have that particular vehicle. I had a 7 passenger / 1 bag Tahoe and not Suburban. Very disappointing and an uncomfortable journey. Will not rent through Kayak or Hertz...7.6 Good
Jul 2018
Pros:
The minivan fit seven passengers so it worked for our trip but I booked a large SUV which was damaged before our arrival so we were given a minivan in its place.Cons:
I was surprised at the poor quality of a nearly brand new minivan compared to our personal 2005 Odyssey with over 130k miles. I'd have much rather driven our older minivan. This vehicle worked for our needs but that was about it. Very insecure on curvy roads and cheap materials that I was concerned would break.National

Pros:
Rented a mini van for a family trip. Had a dodge caravan which was a nice car, well maintained and comfortable. Good gas mileage considering the size of the vehicle.Cons:

Jun 2018
Cons:
I ordered a small SUV which wasn't available. National agent gave me a large NEW SUV and LYING said will all the updates it was great on gas mileage. After an hour was already down 1/4 tank. Played with the buttons and found instead of 30mpg the other would have gotten, I was getting 17mpg. I had 700 miles to drive. Called National and was told to go to nearest airport to exchange. Filled up gas outside of airport (1/2 hour out of way) and called to ask where to park to transfer items to new car. National desk rep said they would not exchange. Would end rental and rent me a new car. I would have to pay for BOTH! After a full on rant by me, the rep finally agreed to give me a tank of gas. Never National again!!Fox
