My flight arrived at 10:20 pm. The attendant said that the only reason he was still there was because he had to finish something; otherwise, they close at 10. I would have had to go to another rental agency. Also and probably related, they had no record of my reservation even though I had the confirmation with me.

Rental car prices are way too high right now. The morning I dropped the car off I drove thru a huge garage FULL of available rentals, so, saying that it’s a supply issue would be untrue.

Car had no spare tire, tire blew up were on hold on 4 different phones at same time, nobody answer, stranded in the middle of nowhere. After 5 hours standed had to take a lift from 429 to Gainesville (1hr 45 min) $179.00. Didn't get my deposit back. Spoke to a Manager (he even spelled his name for me) when my husband and son went to give the keys back, nobody knew the Manager. No papaerwork at all, blaming COVID-19 for this.

There was no inspection of the vehicle when I picked it up at the airport. As a result I'm involved in an insurance claim for damage, which i'm disputing.

Loved backup camera

Counter closed at pickup. Had to go to the sister counter where there was a big line and it took forever. No one seemed to know what was going on and seemed to be in no hurry to get any of us out of there. They were friendly tho. Then drop off at PBI very poorly marked. Plus I thought the rate was high.
