Pros:

The car was great and in good condition, just as anticipated.

Cons:

I could not get ahold of the location in which I was renting. I called and left messages and no one ever returned my calls. I called the 1-800 number and they couldn't/wouldn't help me stating it had to be taken up with the specific branch and they didn't have access to their files...

They gave me a hybrid car but didn't know it was. When I went to start it... it didn't start the engine... It created confusion. A good briefing would have been required. Thanks

The kiosk is close to the baggage pickup area. Our flight was 4 hours late arriving and the clerk stayed long by past their work hours so that we could have our car at 1 am. Loved the Kia van clean and new.
