600 miles, 24 hours
3*
Firstly the positives; the pick-up process was simple once we had reserved a car online and finding the location from the airport terminal was not difficult with the free shuttle bus service. There was a selection of cars and they all appeared to be in good condition and clean. We selected a 'full-to-full' gas option and the tank was full on pick-up which I have not always experienced with other companies. Furthermore, the car had unlimited mileage which was highly useful to us for our trip to the Grand Canyon and back! The negatives; as is true at any rental they harass you for upgrades and add-ons etc. Just deny them unless you actually DO NEED whatever they are offering. They also have the 'under 25 extra per day' fee which was $20 a day which is annoying, but then again that seems to be standard at most rental companies. Finally, their 'Insider' program where you supposedly get discounts actually cost a lot more for the EXACT same product. I signed up with Insider and got a quote, I then made a reservation without my Insider account which totaled $30 less. I think Insider accounts are only useful for locals, whereas for foreigners, how the add-ons and taxes work makes the quote more expensive even when the per day rate is less.
