Customer Ratings and Latest Reviews
Because we want to make sure each review listed here is left by a real customer, we don’t have the option to post a review here. Instead, we ask each and every customer to leave a review after they return their rental car. This way, you know that all reviews are authentic.
Pros: Fast pick-up once the papers were signed, but with long queue and 1 agent to sign.
Cons: The agent was insisting I take extra insurance for “road safety “ mentioning that San Francisco is extremely dangerous with lots of robberies. I couldn’t pay for tge extra insurance with a debit card, they have told me I could pay when I retired. While returning I have waited a long time to pay in a queue yo find out that the POS wasn’t working. The have sent me upstairs, the lady upstairs was extremely conflictive and she asked me to queue again, I did it and then here it wasn’t working as well
Pros: customer service
Pros: Check in fast and efficient
Cons: Trying to push larger car and additional services. Not providing the car requested but a bigger one that ate gas.
Pros: Easy to drop off and find cars.
Cons: Huge line up while other car rental companies are empty line up. Overbooked or their strategy to enforce you to upgrade with a fee. Charged more than what’s stated as the remaining tax. Supposed to be 35USD but charged me 53USD.
Pros: Vince was great at SFO! So helpful
