I rented from them several weeks ago. It was a quixotic experience. I ended up with a premium car, some Volvo. They wouldn't give me a CLA nor any of the new CTSs in the lot. They wanted to put a $795 security deposit on the car.

Now, this is Detroit, where you if you rent from the airport with local ID, be prepared to put down some big deposit money (guess why?). But...this is ridiculous. I put up with it because it was for one night. Of course, they had these brand new Apple laptops (or were they Samsung?) in the back for the customers to use-none of them were secured.

Used to rent from them in Germany all the time, they're great there. I rented from them at DFW a couple of weeks ago-got a new CLA for $125 2 days net. Try that trick with Hertz or Avis. Security deposit there matched cost of the rental-much more reasonable.

I'm keeping an open mind about them. I'm glad they're here because they will keep pricing honest between Hertz/Dollar, EAN and Avis/Budget. But they obviously have a steep learning curve ahead of them in certain markets.
