Good pick up and drop off. Would have liked an unlimited mileage option
I booked a dodge challenger but given a ford escape. The ford interior had not been vacuumed and had dirt and food debris in the console/gear shift. The exterior of the vehicle had not been washed and the windshield was covered with dead bugs. However, the drop-off at Toronto Pearson Airport was smooth and efficient
Excellent rates, friendly staff, spotless, well maintained car.

Mediocre|Sept 2023
I booked to pick up the car in Vancouver downtown at 9 a.m. But when I arrived, the staff told me the car was not available in Vancouver downtown but in Richmond. I ended up picking up the car in Richmond at almost 11 a.m. Poor management.
