Very Good|Jul 2024

I had reserved a Tahoe or similar and was first given a Ford Explorer which would not be large enough cargo space. Then I was offered a mini van, same, not enough cargo space. Finally was given an Expedition, which was perfect. Once home I noticed that the heat shield was hanging loose so back I went to the airport. The mechanical staff fixed it without incident. The rest of the trip was great.

Poor|Dec 2023

$100 a day is terrible, when I could of gotten 2 days for $5 more from them...crazy! When I picked up my rental, the car was just driving up and the lady got out of the vehicle not really saying anything. I had to ask if the keys were in it. There was no walk around with anyone, which is concerning because there is a lot of damage to the exterior of the vehicle. I took 10 pictures of damaged areas, then noticed the following more that I couldn't see in the dim area plus the car being wet. The car had at least one low tire and needed service, according to the dash. How is that missed when it was just dropped off for me? Does that even matter? I would think that a rental should not be due for a service as soon as you get it, plus not have a low tire. I used Budget as a last resort at the Columbus airport. It was cheapest, not sure how, and had availability.

The interior had been cleaned but the fabric on the seats had a lot of stains. The car drove good. Both the front and rear bumper covers had obviously been re-attached at some point because you could see the seams. The rear driver's side bumper cover would become loose and flap in the wind when you got up to highway speeds. The brakes started grinding at the end of the trip.
