Pros: staff was very friendly
Cons: everything was great but did not receive a truck with a full tank. the dial gauge on the dashboard showed the nail as full but the digital fuel gauge showed fewer miles than how I returned it. I explained this to the rental agent but he just blew me off.

Pros: I've used National's Emerald Isle for years. The available cars is always a good selection. At the end of the rental, I can expect that the final charge will be what was originally agreed.
Cons: Fees and taxes are too numerous and too high. My daily rate of $32 turns into a final daily rate of $50 with added fees for: airport concession, rental facility, tourism commission, port of san diego, vehicle license recovery, and sales tax. Ack.

More guidance would have been nice
Pros: Nice car. Worked well. Pick up and drop off were mostly smooth
Cons: I payed for a Sante Fe but got a Tuscon because I didn't immediately notice the difference. It worked out fine, but the Sante Fe is superior from what I learned.

Cons: We picked out our car, installed a car seat and packed it up. We were then told that National was going to sell the car so we needed to pick out a different one. Not what we wanted to hear after a long day of travel.
