This little car was a joy to rent. Easy to maneuver and didn't take much to fill it up, even though I only used premium gas. Sid was professional and easy to conversate with. Any time I reached out to him, he responded IMMEDIATELY or at LEAST w/in 5-10 mins. Instructions for pick up and return was clear and easy to understand. One thing, if you have long legs like I DO, you may want to skip this one. That's the only thing, my legs were cramped, but I should've known better for the type of vehicle this is. I guess I got caught up in the cuteness. Would I book it again, yes.
