Pros:
The car I got had a clean bill of condition but I found several significant dings and scratches that I may have been held responsible for.Cons:
The original booking was at a good rate, but when I extended it from 10 days to 2 weeks, I was very unhappy at the increased rate - I would have expected it to be the same or even better given a weekly rate - it went from $30/per day through the independent booking site to $45!!2.0 Poor
