We landed mid-morning and were on the road fifteen minutes later. The car was freshly washed and the AC blasted cold air instantly. The staff marked grocery stops and cheap parking on our map. Great value for a weeklong stay.
Contracts were short and easy to understand. The sedan was fuel-efficient on day trips to Encinitas and Carlsbad. Deposit came back quickly with an itemized receipt. Friendly team and zero drama.
They upgraded us to a slightly larger car at no charge when we added a stroller last minute. Everything worked—Bluetooth, backup camera, cruise control. A calm, no-pressure experience from pick-up to drop-off.
Staff took time to explain tolls and recommended routes that avoided traffic. The car felt solid on the freeway and easy in tight city streets. Simple, respectful service that put us at ease.
We rented a minivan for a conference group. Seats folded quickly, luggage fit easily, and fuel use was better than expected. Returning after hours was clearly explained and worked perfectly.
I needed an extension twice and both were handled in minutes by phone. Rate stayed fair and the car never missed a beat. This is my new go-to when I’m in San Diego for work.
The vehicle matched the listing exactly and was spotless. Staff offered beach parking tips and cafe suggestions nearby. Everything felt honest and organized—a rarity in car rentals.
First time driving in California and the team gave gentle, clear guidance. The car was modern and easy to handle. I felt supported—not sold to. Highly recommend for international visitors.
Pick-up location was easy to find, check-in was fast, and the return inspection was fair. Our family road trip to Julian was smooth and comfortable. Excellent value overall.
