What’s your most surprising car rental story, good or bad?
For me, at least, renting a car usually comes at a pretty exciting time. If I need to rent a set of wheels, it’s because I’m leaving somewhere fun on vacation or if I’m moving apartments, and then I just need something that has enough space for all arctic monkey And Taylor Swift’s Records.
Regardless of the reason for renting a car, the experience of booking and receiving a car It’s usually a simple matter. You choose the vehicle of the rough shape and size you want, choose the date and location you will pick up the car, then go to the rental counter to pick up the car.
