Always rented a car and had no issues, however today, the owner of the place hung up on my face while I was asking a question. I used to rent car every week, after this, I will not be renting a car from this business but also be opening my own next to them, to make sure the new company doesn't hang up on peoples face and actually has cars available for rental.
