Victoria, Feb 2020
Pros:
Staff was very friendly and thorough in inspecting the car, telling us where the emergency equipment was, fluids in the car, etc.Cons:
The security deposit was really high at $1600, likely because it was in a different country and a bigger vehicle. I was also not allowed to decline the insurance. There was a mandatory insurance of $13.99/day. The other option that coverage everything was $32/day.6.0 Okay

Pros:
Everyone was amazing at the store, service was great and they even picked-up my car without any additional fee since I was feeling sick and couldn't drive the car there.Cons:
Car was in really poor shape, locks didn't work correctly. Could hardly get out of the passengers side, it took about 4-5 tries every time to open the door. Dangerous if we had ever gotten into an accident.2.0 Poor
