Pros:
We wanted a minivan for the 5 of us and our luggage but they didn't have any. Otherwise then being a little tight it was fine. It was the quote price and the attendant gave brought the extra bags to our hotel. So they went out of their way to help us with all of the bags.Hertz

Mar 2017
Cons:
Reserved a van because we had 6 passengers and on vacation. When we got there no vans available. Nothing to accommodate 6 passengers and nothing to accommodate all our luggage. Had to take a vehicle that was only 5 person -- which meant cramped and no seat belt. Did not have a van for us until 2 1/2 days later. Not happy at all. Gave a discount but not really enough to make up for the horrible inconvenience and unsafe conditions.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Pros:
Staff seemed friendly enough, tried to fix problem.Cons:
Previous renters of the 1 van they have on site decided to come back late, so we lost 4 hours of our drive waiting for them to return. Car was given to us with 1/3 tank of fuel. No discount taken off for late delivery of car, but an overcharge of $200 on my cc card was just noticed. I will be following up.10.0 Wonderful
