Pick-up was slow. Only two people were at the counter. It seemed like they re-entered everything each person had already provided online. The waiting line was long. The car was fine and the turn-in at the Atlanta airport was fast, well-organized and easy.

I arrived after many flights had been delayed and cancelled due to weather. Even with a huge line and long wait times, the rental car staff moved as efficiently as possible and addressed the customer demands.

Pros:

Friendly staff with a quick & easy rental and drop off. The pick up truck was immaculate.

Cons:

There is no exterior signage for this rental location, which is inside a hotel. I had to call ahead to confirm that your rental center was there.

Pros:

Hard to say -- arrived at scheduled pick up time, and they were closed with nobody answering phones until two days later.

Cons:

arrived at scheduled pick up time, and they were closed with nobody answering phones until two days later. What would be better is to not have pick up scheduled when they're closed!
