Worst experience ever!
Try to scam you at every possible corner! Was told twice the car “wasn’t full” and it would be over $3/l charge. when it clearly was full and couldn’t force more in.. after small confrontation, they said “oh maybe it’s just the gauge”
Then according to them it takes 7 days for the deposit to be returned when you could save yourself the hassle and go with enterprise and get the deposit back immediately and they actually provide customer service.

Never have left a review for a RAC. Everyone hates them right!!! Well these guys are awesome used twice in last month. Left a car for us twice at Harbour Air for pickup and dropped once at Hullo and once after hours at there shop. There are very accommodating, very friendly and efficient with the paperwork the next day after return. I think they even have a shuttle during business hours to the ferry terminal, which is walkable if you got lots of time top-notch people highly recommend them. So well done

Ken was extremely polite and agile.
Shuttle from ferry was quick (they used the car we were renting, so bags were already left in it).
Booked through Priceline.

Très bien et service de qualité mais les modalités, probablement indépendant de l'entreprise, ne sont pas optimales. Les frais de km en plus si on laisse le véhicule à un endroit différent est facturé au km en plus... dommage. Sinon le personnel est vraiment super gentil. On a été surclassé en plus de cela.
