pick up location was a little confusing (its in the parking lot across the road, not on the street). car was good in that it was able to take me from point A to point B no problem. the bluetooth and audio system were a little finicky, so i gave up on trying to connect my phone to the car. overall really smooth experience picking up and dropping off the car!
