Pros:
I liked that there was another rental company nearby.Cons:
Place was closed at the hour booked. They had changed their hours and didn't update the website or Google maps. There was just a printed message with the new hours. Luckily was able to rent from a different company.8.0 Very good

Pros:
Staff was awesome, vehicle was used previously by a heavy smoker and truck reeked of smoke. This is not a reflection of the local enterprise, it’s a smell that is very difficult to get out of the vehicle.10.0 Wonderful
