The interior is also comfortable enough to spend long periods of time in the car, which only really happens if you get stuck behind a Muni, the public transport bus system.

Mar 2021
Pros:
The staff were extremely helpful. I ended up changing my reservation to an earlier time with no cost, then was unable to make it in that early due to unexpected circumstances. They ended up adjusting it so I could bring it back later on my return date, which they didn’t have to do. Staff is very friendly and laid back. Will definitely come back to this location.Cons:

Pros:
Jose was great and super helpful. I also had an incident with lost keys and Philip was incredibly responsive and accommodating especially when there was a mix up.Cons:
The lost and found process could have been more organized/smoother.7.6 Good
Jan 2020
Pros:
the dropoff was quick and easy. Pickup was a 2 hour wait in a line only to find a clerk who didn't know how to handle long-term rentals, and another wait for the manager.Cons:
more help at the pickup line, or better staffing for expected surges.8.4 Very Good
Jan 2020
Pros:
Yes, staff were very helpful.Cons:
At first they offered us a smelly old Toyota RAV from Utah, with the windows open. That was a clue - really smelly. And we wanted a SUV for the all-wheel drive; that one was only 2-wheel drive.2.8 Poor

Cons:
Outrageous daily fees for tolls. Did not give me the car I asked for; gave me a car with less comfort and worse mileage.2.0 Poor
