Pros: The value was fantastic! I liked that the desk agent pointed out all the details we needed to know about the car before we left the lot - including connecting a phone to the car for directions.

9/6/21

Pros: Very friendly agents, communication was good as well.

Cons: I have rented a lot of cars but never had such a damaged and old one as with GreenMotion. The engine hardly had any power, some hills were barely possible to drive. The cars I usually rent in this category are newer, have more power and are less damaged. In Europe you get an VW Golf or Peugeot 308 for these prices.

Pros: The SUV that was delivered on the third day was okay.

Cons: I received a 2 wheel drive small car with a small engine for 3 days of the rental term. I did not receive the 4 wheel drive SUV that was what I paid for. This created a major inconvenience for the first part of our trip since we could not reach the areas that required a 4 wheel drive SUV.
