when I search to rent a car I asked for a 6-7 passenger SUV. and I chose the Mazda C9 because I know it comes with 6 seater SUV my paper work mentioned that it should be a Mazda C9 or equivalent . when I went to pick up the SUV they told me that they don't have Mazda C9 but they will give me another SUV. So the ignorant attendant give me a 5 seater one and insist that the C9 is 5 seater and I should take it . I know for sure that the Mazda C9 is not 5 seater because few months ago I was going to buy one .I refused to take the 5 seater saying that my reservation is for 6 seater or equivalent . after an argument the manager came and solve the problem.

Car itself was good. Service was average but not horrible. Drop off is not as efficient as others as you have to go back inside and they charge you again for more taxes/fees? The counter team wasn’t too helpful in answering those questions. My biggest issue is the 6-7 charges on our credit card before we even picked up the vehicle. Will likely choose someone else in the future.
