We rented a car from Target starting a few days before Christmas and ending the day after Christmas, and we had a great experience with them during the busy holiday season. The online reservation system is easy to use, with plenty of detailed information about the different types of cars that are available and their costs. When we arrived in Puerto Rico, we called them, and they sent someone to pick us up at the airport to drive us to their office in Baldorioty; their transport van was nice and clean. The Baldorioty office is a simple small location, also nice and clean, and it's right off the main road that leads to the airport in one direction and leads to Old San Juan in the other direction, less than ten minutes to either the airport or Old San Juan. The car we received was exactly the class/level that we reserved; an extra bonus was that it was basically brand new, with the odometer reading less than 500 miles. We returned the car clean and with a full tank of gas, and they promptly drove us to the airport and dropped us off. At the time of pickup, they charged an extra $200 deposit/hold; surcharge fees are listed on the rental agreement (for incidents such as lost keys, extreme dirtiness, smoking or other odors, etc.). At the time of return, they refunded $150, continuing to hold $50 while toll charges were being processed. After the toll charges were processed, they refunded the final $50. Our final cost was exactly as specified during our reservation process.
All of the staff were very knowledgeable and efficient: on the phone, before making our reservation, a phone representative confirmed that they were open the Sunday before Christmas (one reservation page did not allow me to book that Sunday, but another page did allow the Sunday booking); the check-in person was able to confirm that my personal auto insurance was satisfactory by requesting the coverage information from one of my newer cars instead of my oldest car; the driver that took us back and forth from the airport to the Baldorioty office provided smooth trips; while returning the car at the end of our trip, the check-out person answered my question about toll charges; and, on the phone, a week after returning the car, a phone representative answered a follow-up question about toll charges and sent me a copy of the receipt that showed the final credit card refund that was being processed.
To summarize the reasons why we were extremely happy with Target's service: easy and accurate online reservation system; free transportation between airport and comfortable Baldorioty office/location; car delivered was exactly the size/type that was reserved, plus it was in excellent condition; final cost was exactly the same as reserved; staff/employees were competent and professional. Thank you for making this a no-stress process! read more
