Chevrolet Equinox
3/30/25
Cons: The car was dirty when we picked it up. The previous users had smoked in the car so it reeked of cigarette smoke for days. The inside of the windshield was dirty and I had no way to clean it since I was on vacation. The passenger side mirror was broken so I could not see safely to change lanes. The car shook when I used the brakes, making me wonder about the safety of the brakes.

Pros: Very friendly and agents were very efficient.
Cons: Car we rented was out of windshield washer fluid which we had to purchase and the key fob was low battery and we had to return to have battery replaced. Long line of customers and only two agents. Once we completed the check in process had to wait over 30 minutes for car to be ready.
