Long waiting time in queue

When I booked, they said all customers could receive a Suburban. However, at pickup, the customer service said there were none left and gave me a GMC Yukon XL. In the parking lot, I noticed a ready-to-go Suburban parked diagonally opposite. I used my US driver's license and phone customer service for online pickup. So initially, the upselling services weren't too excessive. Still, not getting the car I wanted felt like a rip-off.

Overall fine, but there was an attempt to upsell additional insurance and higher-priced cars.

The branch was quite busy, with about a 40-minute wait in line. However, self-service pickup is available. Since it was my first rental, I chose to wait for counter service. The staff were very polite and recommended insurance for $18 per day, which I accepted. Overall, it was a good experience!
