Upon arrival on Wednesday, 7/26, I was stunned by the location's appearance. The establishment is approximately 1-2 miles from the airport and looks like an old, used car lot. That was the first red flag and I should have gone with my inclination of returning back to the airport to another establishment.
Secondly, they had a compact-sized car ready and waiting for us. When I mentioned it, I was told that that is what I reserved and was showing in the system. I immediately retrieved my confirmation email to show that I reserved a mid-sized car. We were charged an additional $15/day for a Toyota Camry which, by definition, is a midsized car, but they deemed as a full size.
After a lengthy and hot check-in process, the tire service light was on in the first Camry that was issued. We were told that the tire had just been replaced and he would get someone to reset the system. We requested a different car and was accommodated. I asked for the registration paperwork and he said that it was emailed to me. I questioned what to do if I, for some reason, should need it and he said to refer to the email and not to speak negatively.
Before leaving I specifically asked if someone would be available to receive the car and transport us back to the airport when returned because we had an early flight. We were assured that someone would be there. In fact, the gentleman said he would most likely be there because he's the manager and is always there. Unfortunately, that wasn't true. On Monday, 7/31, from approximately 5:20 a.m. until we arrived, I called three times and left messages to ensure someone would be there. When we arrived around 5:55 a.m. another couple were sitting inside their car outside the locked gate. They had been waiting since 5:30 a.m. and, like me, had repeatedly called with no answer. After about 20 minutes, we left and proceeded to long-term parking so not to miss our flight. Once again, I called and left a message stating where the car was located and why we had no other option, but to leave. By then I had already checked the website to see that they were supposed to open at 5:30 a.m.
Around 7:20 a.m. I called again and a female answered the phone who said they had just arrived at 7:00 a.m. I told her where the car was and that I was about to board the plane. She assured me they would retrieve the car and leave me a message to confirm once they did. Fast forward to about 10:40 a.m., I called, yet AGAIN, because I had not received a voicemail. At that time they STILL had not retrieved the car. Once again, she said that she would call to confirm. It is now Wednesday, 8/2/23 at 11:30 a.m. and I have yet to receive a call back or voicemail from them.
