Lesandra, Sep 2020
Pros:
The pick up and drop off was very smooth.Cons:
The light to the menu for music, maps, phone, media etc Burned out when I was still 6 1/2 hours away from home. Without a light I had no back up camera nor could I see who was calling unless I took my eyes off the road and looked at my phone. I did not know where the Spotify was playing or iTunes unless I looked at my phone and I had to find my own way home from San Antonio by looking at my phone because I couldn’t look at the car screen8.0 Very good

Pros:
Staff was great at pick up. Vehicle was small an uncomfortable. Biggest problem is they are trying to bill me for more than 2x the rate I was quoted. I booked through Kayak, reservation confirmation came from Priceline, price was honored when I picked up the car and now they are trying to gouge me for a much higher fee. Seems super shady to me. I'm currently disputing the charge and they say it needs to be reviewed and will take 5-7 days. I'm very irritated about it. I only had the car 4 days and they are trying to charge more than $1200.Cons:
Would have been satisfaction if they would honor the rate quoted.One location in McAllen

Staff was great. Easy process and my name was on their list which prepared the staff for my arrival.Cons:
Walking to and from the spot to pick up and drop off wasn't so great. Especially, if you're a female with heels and bags. Valet would be great. Pick up / Drop Off car would also be recommended in advance.2.0 Poor
