Only problem I had was my Handicap Decal was left behind and once I returned to Maryland and realized that I didn't remove it from the drivers side sun visor..I went out late for a grocery run and reached for my Handicap Decal and realized I left it in Charlotte and immediately reached out to Customer Service at least 3 times.I follow up today for the agent to say that it wasn't found. Im not believing that at all and I very disappointed with the outcome.. if one of your workers have it. I reported stolen and it has a serial# that is registered through the state of Maryland.In the event you are stopped by the police it is reported as STOLEN..
I was very pleased with the customer services and I will rent again!
