    Everything else was fine, but the front desk pressured us into choosing prepaid fuel when returning the car. We only used half a tank and didn't get a refund.

    Overall it's quite good, but there are no clear drop-off instructions at pickup (or in related documents). The entrance to the parking lot overlaps with other rental companies and can be easily blocked from view by other cars. Some front desk staff were not very helpful when asked questions (although most staff were very good).
