I walked up without a reservation and got a car rented within about 10 minutes, Akay was very helpful. They automatically refunded me for the time I didn't end up using the vehicle.

Had a good experience renting from this location. The original car I booked had some issues such as undocumented damages and malfunction (warning light on the dash). They ran out of cars at this location so we had to swap it out when we passed through another branch. The staff at both locations made sure the swap process was fast and smooth and I was happy with the car for the remainder of our trip.
