    I made a reservation for a Chevrolet Suburban. We received after a waiting time of more than 2,5 hours (NY, 49th street) a Ford Flex with 50% gas in it. This car did not meet the rented type, nor our expectations. The only comment I got: " we have no other cars, you can go to any airport in the US to change it for a Subrurban type". They did not bother to make a phone call or anything else. I went to La Guardia and Kennedy Airport without result. People there were friendly, but could not help me, because my "request to change" should have been reported upfront..... I finally managed to change the car at Warwick Airport near Providence. I cannot believe such a bad service.

    2 points. 1. Counter staff should be clearer that full insurance is USD$45/day. I had the impression that it was USD$45 per the period of rent (2 days) so I went ahead with the full insurance. 2. Though the drop off point indicated as in terminal. It's not true. After dropping off, we need to take air-train to the terminal which was quite inconvenient for us as we have 3 large luggages and 2 small luggages. The reason why i went ahead with budget as i thought the returning point is within the terminal and it will be much easier for us.

    Haven't received the prepaid deposit yet, not sure if the refund process is fast. The staff tried to sell insurance but we declined. Later, they charged another unknown deposit. When asked, they said it was a prepayment. Still unclear about the situation. Will wait for the refund to be processed.

    Make sure to check if the fuel tank is full when picking up the car. Mine wasn't full, so I informed them, which meant I didn't need to refill it completely when returning the car.
