We didn't realize when we booked this rental that their rental desk was off-site. But the shuttle arrived fairly quickly when we called, and since there were no other renters waiting, the overall pickup time was no longer than for an on-site rental, and the price was MUCH better. The manager (who was also the driver) was very nice and helpful, and the return (also off-site) went quickly as well. We'll definitely use them again!

Once you arrive you call for pickup. When they arrived the van they picked us up in was not that clean, and not the quality of rental I'm used to. I asked if it was ours and they said yes. Once we got to the rental facility they're were other newer vans, but I didn't want to move everything again. The other surprise was that they close at like 4pm so my rental was actually 25 more dollars than I paid because I had to leave it at airport parking. What's the point of prepaying for a specified time is there are actually additional charges?

The staff were incredibly friendly at this family owned location. The exterior of the car was dirty but it bad been raining quite a bit the days before. I wish I had known this location was so far from the airport.

Arrived at the Costa Mesa location on 3/29 around 2pm and did the paperwork staff was very friendly when they pulled the van around all the windows were extremely dirty and the inside was in the same poor condition there was actually left over food ( french fries) in the center drivers console. The young lady seemed very embarrassed and took the van back and gave it a quick cleaning but the inside was still gross stains on the seats , missing cup holder just a big hole there and overall very dirty. As we were driving that night we got pulled over for a burned out tail light on the driver side no ticket just a warning thank god also when I went to clean the windshield there was no water in the reservoir a very disappointing experience overall. I contacted customer service with my concerns and they said next time you rent from us we could give you an upgrade sadly there won`t be a next time. Ed

The vehicle was dicent a little worn out for a newer model no USB port, no auxiliary port and no synchronization to my phone to listen to my music. Big disappointment especially because it was a six hour road trip.

I believed I was picking up my car without having to shuttle anywhere until I had already purchased this rental. Needless to say I was disappointed.

Upon arrival, they didn't have a car available as per our reservation. However, they offered us something similar and reduced our daily rental rate, which was fine with us. We opted not to take the insurance or gas fill option as found a gas station nearby that was a little cheaper than their price. Staff were pleasant.
