I thought a compact SUV would be bigger than a Mazda CX-3 but that’s my mistake I guess. Otherwise great. Except I haven’t gotten a receipt emailed to me yet but see that my card was charged a bit more than expected/quoted. So that’s not ideal. Thanks

The only problem I had was with the wipers which weren't coming in contact with the windshield so I had to come back the next day and have them replaced but then I noticed the tires were a bit bald and I was sliding around in the snow so they ended up giving me a different vehicle which was much better.

Windshield was covered in oily smudges that made night driving difficult to see through the windshield.

Service at the desk was efficient and friendly. The condition of the vehicle was deplorable. It had a large crack in the windshield, shook severely on the highway at 100 kms/hr or more, would not shift into all-wheel drive (stuck in 2H), and was overdue for an oil change. I did not feel safe driving this vehicle and it should not have been rented to a customer in the condition it was in. Even if that meant we were to get an upgraded vehicle at no additional costs.

They gave me a hybrid car but didn't know it was. When I went to start it... it didn't start the engine... It created confusion. A good briefing would have been required. Thanks

Don’t bother going here the staff at the front door will ignore you until they feel like working, even after making eye contact.

The quoted price was $177 but the actual price was $245. Apparently the quoted price was in $US, but that was not clear at the time. Be careful Canadians!

WATCH OUT - when you travel with National @ Thunder Bay with Kayak, you get your car 'slightly' out of the airport, which is no issue, BUT they gave us a car with NO CRUISE CONTROL! when was the last time that happened to you? It was 30 years ago for us... Since you must use highways (Thunder Bay) you really need cruise... When I asked at the counter, they stated: "We don't know about any of our cars"!??
