Pick up and drop off was easy. The car didn’t come with a full tank, which means that when you return it, you always return it with more gas than you picked it up with. This always feels like a trick by the rental company to pass the cost off gas off to the customer.Reviewed 6 May 2025

It was very spacious. My driver was very friendly and funny 🤣😁. There was a bathroom in the trunk. And I needed (of course)to pee so you know where I left a wet spot(the trunk). The drivers around us were very friendly 😸, probably cuz I put a "baby 🍼 on board" sticker on the car. And my dog 🐶 absolutely loved 😍 the drive. He was barking like crazy.Reviewed 5 Jun 2024
