    I am not sure if these reviews are seen by managers in these actual locations or not but just in case I would like to give a shout out to Kim at the ECP location! I am a local who rents from this location for work and often the lines are rediculous for our small airport and never the less Kim always has a smile on her face and always manages to put me in the right rental even though I am not able to go out and choose my own vehicle like at larger airports. This is is extremely important to me because based on the type of job I am doing my requirments change which is why I love being executive. Finally Kim also serves another invaluable part of my trip, by ensuring I leave with a smile and that my work trip is starting out on the right foot, because to often the wrong car or an unfriendly employee just crushes the rest of my day and makes for a very long travel day!

    The counter agent, Sabina was amazing! Very friendly and helpful to me. I had a free upgrade that I wasn't aware of and she hooked me up. When returning my rental at 5:30am, I was greeted by a smiling employee that was very helpful! Overall a great experience!

    We rented a vehicle for August 16th and have it until August 23rd. We had a abysmal flight with American Airlines from Ohio, to Charlotte, and then Panama City Beach. Over 12 hours delayed in total. We were exhausted when we arrived at the airport and then Found the Enterprise window closed telling us to go to the National Car Rental Desk next to them. We were exhausted and thinking darn crappy day. Then Kat at the National desk helped us with our rental. She was fast, extremely friendly, and professional. She helped us get us out of a crappy mood and was thankful for her service. We like for such a hard working individual such as Kat have a moment of recognition for how hard she worked. All 3 people that were ahead of us were mean and short and she kept going with a smile and great service. National Car rental has an exceptional employee in Kat.
