I honestly do not know why this place does not have more updated policies. Their rentals are truly only for in-town usage. No unlimited miles like the other car rental companies and they are EXTREMELY slow.

Possibly the worst customer service experience in many years. I needed a vehicle that seats 6 so I ordered a Ford Explorer online whose description stated seating for 7. I received a confirmation email that listed the Explorer as the vehicle preference. I received a phone call confirming my reservation and provided specific requirements for renting this particular class of vehicle. I arrived to be told they did not have any Explorers or any other vehicles that seated 6. I was told I could have a vehicle that seated 5 which was of no use to me since I needed seating for 6. The clerk literally asked me what I expected them to do. I merely said I expected them to provide a vehicle comparable to what I requested online and he said "Well we can't". He offered no options or help. The rep was extremely flippant and obviously did not care at all that I was extremely inconvenienced by this. I had to call someone to come pick me up and then asked them to drive me to the Budget/Avis location a few blocks down at Sears and within 5 minutes I was in a brand new Ford Expedition for literally only about $10 more than Longhorn was going to charge me. I learned my lesson trying to give my business to a smaller locally owned business like Longhorn. I will NEVER go back.

Worst customer service ever. I rented online from their VERY misleading website. I went online to book a 15 passenger van. When I arrived to pick it up they said both of their passenger vans were booked and all they had was a cargo van...a cargo van with no seats so my guests would have to sit on the van floor. I told them I HAD to have it that day because plans had already been arranged and they continued to tell me they wouldn't rent it to me knowing that my intention was to have passengers in it, since there were not seats or seat belts. So I said FINE we won't be using it for people, we'll put equipment in it. They put up a huge fight knowing our real intentions and with much back and forth they rented it to us. However, they charged us about $100 more than the online quote for my original booking for a passenger van. WILL NOT GO BACK!!!
