Mr. Erick Chavez was a professional attending my reservation. The car that I reserved was already ready and clean. The professionalism with which Mr. Chavez attended me was excellent and very effective. Mr. Chavez was very polite and gave us the right car for our needs. I will definitely rent with Midway again. Highly recommended.

I recommend Midway car rental. They were nice and helpful. Also they had right car for us.
Did not receive car I reserved. Car I was given only had 3/4 tank of gas and smelled like cigarettes. The drop off location was not staffed. Terrible experience all around.
