Aside from the lengthy pickup time and the expensive e-toll device fee, the car was good and returning it was convenient.
The e-toll device fee of $3.95 per day, calculated by calendar days, is expensive! The pickup time was quite long, but everything else was fine, and the car was fairly easy to drive.
