Pros:
Nothing because they bailed on the reservation.Cons:
The staff texted me 3 days after the rental reservation and two days before I needed the car to tell me they were overbooked and they wouldn't have anything available for me. I had to contact Priceline to get my insurance deposit back again. Definitely wasn't helpful to have the car pulled out via a non official text message on Saturday when I needed the car Monday. I ended up renting from Hertz directly from their website instead of using Kayak or Priceline.2.0 Poor

Cons:
You didn’t have the car I reserved and it was substituted for a truck that had no runners, so my 75 year old mom and I had to jump out of and climb into the truck, we both were very uncomfortable and had to spend more on gas as the truck was not as economical as a car would have been2 locations in North Charleston

Mar. 2021
Pros:
I mean, I would call a Kia Sorrento a full-size SUV. We moved our luggage from a RAV-4 and it barely fit in the Kia. Moving from a crossover to a full size SUV, you expect a little bit more room. Maybe you should clear up with your partners what is considered a full-size SUV. When your site says a Nissan Pathfinder OR COMPARABLE, no one expects to show up and have to drive a Kia Sorrento.Cons:
Stop lying to us about the cars available. I could have gotten way cheaper rates for a Kia Dorrento booking direct or using another service. Massively disappointing.8.0 Very good

Jun. 2021
Pros:
The staff was doing the best they could with limited resources.Cons:
We were able to book our vehicle to be picked up in one location and dropped off at another (the airport). At the end of an hour long wait/pick-up, we were told that the car had to be returned to the same location. This resulted in having to return the car early and a $25 Uber ride to the airport.One location in North Charleston
