Girls at desk did not seem interested in their Job. Did not act like they wanted to serve you. The owners manual for the car we were told when we turned it in was in the trunk under the spare tire. there was a problem with the warning message on the dash that said to see manual but we could not find it. Please let people know where manual is. No help on orientation to the vehicle we were to drive.

I reserved an SUV (Nissan Pathfinder) for a 3 day rental. When I arrived, the agency only had 2 cars; a minivan and a Hyundai Sonata. Neither one fit my needs. After 10 minutes of discussion, a Volkswagen Taos was returned. The agents prepped it for me but provided a disclaimer that the car's interior was dirty. I agreed but due to limited time, had to take it. The car felt undersized for what I rented but I was told over and over that it was in the same car class. I'm still not sure about that as it felt more like a compact SUV.

Excellent overall. I had to wait a few minutes after arriving for my 8 am pickup due to several 8 am bookings, but I was driving away by 8:30 am. Returning the vehicle at 8 am a couple of days later went smoothly. Staff was courteous and friendly.

That place is truly a scam. They didn't have a car available and suggested waiting 2-3 hours. Since my booking was for one day, I declined their offer. They did not refund any money.

Pick up and drop off is simple, waiting time to get the car is too long.

Counter service was slow and awful. Advertised cars were not available. I was charged for insurance I didn't sign for. I was given EZ pass that I did not want. This was in total a very bad experience.

The airport policy is to have a credit card. Kayak did not know that. I wasted my money to pay someone to take me to get the rental to be told I could not rent it. It would have been nice to know all facts and information in advance.
