    Like: The guy in Vancouver was super friendly!
    Dislike: I was not aware at what point the balance would be deducted but that is probably more my fault because I don‘t often rent cars.

    There was a good range of cars available when I arrived. The bodywork had a couple of small scratches which I had to point out but the staff were happy to log them. Vehicle itself was in good condition. On return, there were no quibbles and the process was quick and easy. Staff at both pickup and return were helpful and friendly.
