|Apr 2023Bait and switch on the pick-up location. I asked for in-town, then the morning of, a half-hour before pickup, switched the pick-up location to the airport. They asked me to sign a from saying the car was in perfect condition when I received it, which would have been fine if I was allowed to actually look at the car before signing it. When I pointed out this ridiculousness, they were annoyed.
