Staff and Car Were Amazing, Policies are Tough to Swallow

The mileage and gas usage of the car was awesome. It was not what I expected but definitely a perk. The person who originally helped me did a good job. The person who helped me upon return was unprofessional and sort of rude.

I didn't have a price drop but this was the most affordable car that I could have found. The location of the lot was easy to find and easy to get to. I appreciate the relationship between Routes and easyrentcars.com. I've already referred two people who have used the site.

They gave me a Nissan Rogue, not the economy car I had requested. I prefer more gas efficient cars. Otherwise, the pickup was fine. The return was not: I arrived at the Routes car return at 12:30 pm on Saturday June 1, in plenty of time to return the car and get to the airport for my 2 pm flight. The moment I arrived, a Routes employee who later told me her name was Maria Sanchez, came out to check the car for damage and get the mileage. She did not mention how often the shuttles leave or when the next one would leave, so I took my time gathering my belongings and collecting the trash I had accumulated on my trip, and waited patiently behind another customer who was checking out. After I finished signing the paperwork, I asked when the shuttle to the airport left and Maria told me it had just departed 30 seconds ago. I asked when the next one would be and she said “15-20 minutes.” I asked her why she hadn’t told me that it was about to leave and she said that I took my time getting my stuff out of the car. I asked why she hadn’t asked the driver to wait 30 seconds since I was clearly about to leave. She said she couldn’t control him. A few minutes later, I heard her answer the phone and tell another customer that she would ask the driver to loop around and come back to pick him up. I asked her about this and she ignored me. I doubt her name really is Maria Sanchez...but she's pictured below.

Car rental pick-up instructions should be provided in more details in the reservation email confirmation.

I found Easyrentcars.com by accident. I recommend that the company must advertise more aggressively.

all went well & car was fab

Like: The value for the price was excellent
Dislike: The company only offered Jeep Sahara vehicle which have poor sight lines, no backup cameras and are unwieldy in a city like Chicago
