Made two reservations, neither were honoured. Attendant was rude and very unhelpful, I’m disgusted on how I was treated and will never rent there again.

Good pick up and drop off. Would have liked an unlimited mileage option
The car had a strong odor of marijuana. The right rear tire was always low on pressure that I had to stop three times to add air to it. Also, the message that the front camera was not active kept displaying but the windshield was clean it wasn't bad weather.

I booked a dodge challenger but given a ford escape. The ford interior had not been vacuumed and had dirt and food debris in the console/gear shift. The exterior of the vehicle had not been washed and the windshield was covered with dead bugs. However, the drop-off at Toronto Pearson Airport was smooth and efficient
Excellent rates, friendly staff, spotless, well maintained car.

There are some hidden charges related to CDW that gets revealed at the time of pickup. This is despite having full coverage from insurance company and Credit Card coverage.

I booked to pick up the car in Vancouver downtown at 9 a.m. But when I arrived, the staff told me the car was not available in Vancouver downtown but in Richmond. I ended up picking up the car in Richmond at almost 11 a.m. Poor management.
