Picked up a vehicle, just before our road trip. Because we were in a rush, I had my wife drive the rental car so I didn't look over the inside of the car. I'll get to that in a minute, because I first want to cover the outside. I have never picked up a rental car that was dirty and already had bugs all over the hood and bumper. Since we were going to be on the road and picking up more bugs, that didn't matter too much. That should have triggered me to inspect the inside of the car, but I didn't and I was pissed when we got home.
Now the inside:
First, as soon as I sat in the car it smelled like cigarette smoke. And then I see a sign stating that here is a fee for smoking in the car. Next thing I noticed, after also reading the same note stating that there is a $200 fee for pet hair removal, I noticed the pet hair on the back seat and floors. I hope that they didn't charge the last customer, because they sure didn't do a good job removing the pet hair with that $200. The hair doesn't show up so good in the pictures, but you can see how dirty the inside of this rental is.
I took these pictures just before cleaning inside, and loading up for our road trip. read more
