We reserved a car but it wasn't ready and had to wait 25 minutes while they looked for a car and had it serviced. What good is making a reservation if it doesn't guarantee a vehicle?Reviewed 2025 Feb 07

Despite booking and paying for our rental car several weeks in advance, there were no cars available at our designated pick up time. Nor was the employee behind the counter able to issue us a refund or help us find a car at another location. He claimed their system “was not connected that way.” The entire experience was unacceptable.Reviewed 2024 Dec 30

Would have been an excellent review but a few items in the car did not work USB adapter, some of the features on the screens and most importantly tire pressure was off by 17 lbs under inflated and 10 lbs inflated on other wheels. That is scary and very important to me on safetyReviewed 2023 Nov 08

Cons:Pickup was very cumbersome. Why do I have to re-give all the same address/phone number/credit card details over the counter that I gave when I made the reservation? The system should have all my details. Just give me the keys. It shouldn't take 15 minutes of back and forth to check each person in. The line to wait at the counter was longer than the flight to Orange County was!Reviewed 2021 Apr 27

Pros:Staff was great at pick up and dropoffCons:The quality of the vehicle. Given a vehicle with a big dent in the door. Purchased the package that I could choose my own vehicle only to find out I needed to pay an upgrade for a mustang if I wanted. I will not use the choose your vehicle option because I did not get to choose .Reviewed 2021 Apr 16

Pros:The staff was very friendly at the Orange County airport. The pick-up was super easy and fast with no wait time. I did get there early and they were able to adjust my pick-up time accordingly.Cons:I noticed all the employees were Spanish and weren't fluent in English. The staff member that was helping me out had a little trouble understanding my English but I didn't think it was a problem.Reviewed 2021 Apr 01
