Liked the Kia nice little car and it was full of fuel. Several cars I’ve rented lately have been near empty so that was a nice change. Staff friendly and checked my car in right at closing and the lady went out of her way to check me in. Great service couldn’t be happier with this rental.

We arrived at the pick up location at 4:50 pm and our pick up time is 5:00 pm. However, the store closes at 5:00pm and when we arrived there, the store had closed and we could not pick up our car in any way.
