There is only one woman working here currently, so it took over an hour to get through the line and receive my car. But she was very friendly and helpful. You do have to go find your own car in the parking lot as well. The car I was given was very nice and safe, and I felt like I paid an excellent daily rate for the quality of car. The drop off at the airport was extremely quick and easy. Overall, I was very happy and would rent from here again.
