Pros: Simple enough process, located at the airport.
Cons: The vehicle was truly awful, a miniature Honda of some kind. Clean enough and new enough but a nasty piece of plastic with a pitiful engine and a very very sad automatic gearbox. I've never seen that model Honda anywhere else in the world. Plus First Car Rental has had a computer system meltdown and are currently unable to return my deposits.
