The staff appears constantly overwhelmed and the wait times are unacceptable (second time this year I rent from this location). There was a line snaking out the door to return vehicle and I had to use the key drop off else I would have missed my plane. They should invest in the same technology as other Hertz/Thifty locations where staff meets incoming cars with hand held device that checks customer out. Last time I picked up a car from this Hertz location it took over 45 minutes to get out! I will definitely make sure I rent from one of the other agencies next time I'm in BOD.
