Pros:The price charged differed significantly from the price quoted.
Cons:More transparency in up-front cost.
Pros:Staff was very friendly and efficient
Cons:Access in and out of the location
Pros:Friendly Staff
Pros:Easy experience from beginning to end. Didn't have Compacts available, so was given a truck. Gas mileage was still ok, though.
Pros:I didn"t like it
Cons:it needs service improvement
Pros:The guy buy the cars was great.
Cons:The woman at the desk had an incredibly thick accent and apparently you charge $200 more in fees than reported on the site.
Pros:When I went to get the economy car I thought I had ordered, they said I ordered a "managers selection". And the managers selection was a van or a mustang. The truth is when I ordered the car online - the first thing I had to do was choose the type of car I wanted...I chose the economy car then it was stated that the car rental dealer would choose the economy car available. When I got there they said they chose any car they want for you. It doesn't make sense...why does the website even ask you the type of car you want. You are given a false impression and then when you get to the car rental facility, you have to pay much more for the car you want.
Cons:It would be nice if they didn't take advantage of people- sticking them with a car or price tag not ordered.
Pros:The car was comfortable and efficient so we didn't have to overspend on gas.
Cons:1) The price should reflect all the fees (insurance etc.) not only one of 3 or 4, which make the total. Was a very confusing and unpleasant experience with that. 2) I understand that it would be as bonus information, but you could send also some basic travel info with the confirmation email or, preferably, even before. What I mean: about fares that could be incurred (we had to pay 40 euro to enter Switzerland and another 40 to use the autobahn) and similar useful advice. Although you can attract more people showing just the basic price, at least according to my logic, less people are likely to reuse your service after a low-quality experience, such as me and my fellow travelers had.
Pros:When we booked online, the rates were less than competitors.
Cons:Customer service
Pros:The staff were friendly and helpful-we had no problems with them. The car, a Toyota Corolla was great. It was easy to get to from Manhattan and had cars available.
Cons:The price quoted is a bare minimum price. What was supposed to be $560 ended up being $919. Some of it was insurance but none of that was transparent on the website. We were also told that if we wanted to use the EZ pass that is in the car (not our own) there was a mandatory fee of $139 to use it. We've rented from Avis and Enterprise and we never had to pay just to use the EZ pass, before the tolls. Then we were told since we did not want to pay that amount, that we get charged either $15 or $30 by EZ Pass itself every time we go through a toll-that is in addition to the toll itself. We were also charged for an additional driver each day, even though that person is my husband. We have not been charged at other rental companies for that, specifically because the other person is a spouse.
