They refused to give me the car because “we don’t do rentals under 24 hours notice”, however it showed up on kayak. They refused to listen to this argument, blaming kayak instead.

It totally sucked. I checked ahead just to make sure that they rented if you only had a debit card. Their website assured that if you had two forms of ID iall rentals was approved. Well that was a total LIE. I drove all the way to the Mexico border ( CBX ) just for them to say...."We don't accept debt card only credit card for our rentals. That's our policy". I ended up be late for my 100 year old granddaughters funeral on the account that I had to find other options to travel to Flagstaff AZ.....all because I trusted in what their website stated. So how was my experience?....it sucked BIG TIME!
