The car was very new and freshly cleaned. The agent was very helpful and efficient. We were considering changing our rental times (we reserved the car for only hours and I wanted to extend them to eight hours) but there was not an easy way to do it online without doing a new rental, which likely would have changed the rate, so we didn't bother.
