Willingness to assist when there is an issue with getting the car reserved.Cons:
They canceled my reservation since i did not arrive at 2pm. I would suggest in the furure, an email or call to confirm if i still want the reservation instead of canceling without notice would help for a better experience. Because of this, we were forced to go to another location.2.8 Poor
