The rental experience was very good and the vehicles were very nice , but I was charged an extra day when I was an hour early in picking up the vehicle . I also had a tire pressure issue with the original rental , and had to drive 100 miles out of my way to exchange the car . The second car had a similar tire pressure issue towards the end of the rental period .
