Easy pick up. Slight delay on opening for the return due to severe traffic. Did call me that I had left my license there. They were very pleasant to deal with.
absolutely 0 professionalism.......miserable corporate culture.....angry people...maybe its because i booked for 5 days at $350 over the phone, and then got on kayak and found the same car for a 7 day rental at $235, and then put 1650 miles on the car cruising around the vegas desert.......the car itself was fine, but this tanner manager inbred wouldve dragged outside and beaten in most countries....
