The car suited us perfectly for our two hour drive to Philly, and it was presented to us in a very clean condition.

Tuve que cambiar el auto por uno más grande, llegué muy temprano y el mío aún no estaba listo. Pero todo fue aprobado por mi.

できるだけ安くにと思い，マンハッタンのBudgetで予約しました． Immigrationが長蛇の列で，入国に3時間ほどかかり，レンタカー借り出し予定にしていた時間に間に合わいませんでした．そのため，コンパクトカーを予約していたのですが，遅れたことを理由に，ばかでかいSUVを一日40ドルプラスで借りるように言われ，仕方なく従いました．マンハッタンのブランチへは，地下鉄を降りて15分ほどスーツケースを転がしていかねばならず，猛暑の中，歩くのに疲れました．返却後は，お土産の荷物も増え，また地下鉄まで歩くのかと辟易し，結局Uberを呼んで空港まで行きました．できるだけ安く，というのは意味がなく，調査不足でした．次回からは多少料金がかかっても，空港で借りて空港で返却するのが正解だと思いました．

The supposed free full tank of gas that was indicated in the QEEQ booking was not honoured by the lady at the budget car rental.
