The gas tank was not completely full when I picked up the car. I did not realize it until I had already left the rental agency. It was probably a couple of gallons short. The agency was so busy last night, there was no way I was going to raise the issue as we had a flight to catch. When I picked up the vehicle, the agents kindly drove it right up to us. The problem being there was no place to actually adjust the seats etc. before I left. Not a big deal, but I would rather have time to familiarize myself with the car before I was expected to drive away.

Up graded but no charge, nice but took a few extra minutes to get vehicle delivered to us. Would have been faster to have us go get it.

The experience was fine once I finally got in the car. There was no clearly designated shuttle to National from the airport, and only half as many shuttles in place as needed: the airport was a mob scene of people attempting to secure a space on a shuttle. Once at the rental kiosk their were long lines (40 minutes). Helpful service person upon reaching the counter. Then…another 30 minute wait with a crowd of 50+ people waiting for cars to be cleaned and delivered for rental. A terrible two hour ordeal to start a vacation.

There was only one "standard" car available when we arrived, a Nissan Altima, which wouldn't have been our choice of vehicles, but it was OK... very low to the ground

The staff were all so nice! We found a guy's credit card on the floor board under the driver's seat and another wrapper in the Jeep. We didn't mind. But if someone else found his card, they might have tried to use it. We've shredded it.

The first car they tried to give me was such a wreck & filthy I refused it. The second one offered was only slightly better. Not a decent car. And I paid way way too much.

The car

The guy didn’t tell me about the substantial Fee for refilling the gas Tank (30 %+ markup-charges); he just told me the fuel was cheaper. I feel that was a deception; i would have filled it myself if he hadnt made it sound so good.
