|Apr 2023They didn't have the van i reserved when i went to pick up. So 7 people with 3 suitcases had to squeeze in to a Arcadia. 2 suitcases had to go on laps. The wait time for pickup was ridiculously long. The lady who checked me in told me I didn't have to get gas when returning, that they'd charge me the same rate the gas was at the gas pump. When i returned it, they estimated my gas usage and charged me 9.90 a gallon!

|Jun 2023I am still trying to get refunded for the extra day's charge that I was promised would not be charged to my card. I spent over 20 minutes on hold yesterday and when the guy put me on hold to check with a supervisor, we were disconnected.
