I've rented cars several times in North America, and this was the worst experience.

At Iversta Rent A Car, there's a local white woman who is older than a young girl but not quite middle-aged. She gets along very well with the Indian staff. She wears a light yellow knit sweater, with sunglasses perched on her forehead, and the sweater open, revealing a hint of cleavage. Her complexion is not too fair, and she has a leathery tan, with signs of aging visible on her face. She has a sharp nose and a piercing gaze when arguing with customers. This car rental company is near Toronto Pearson International Airport and has a high volume of customers in the morning, making the store very crowded. If a client approaches her desk, she impatiently waves them away with a curt 'Have a seat!' She walked behind the two Indian staff members at the counter, gently squeezed the shoulder of the one on the right, and softly said, 'I'm your daughter.' Then she gently stroked the beard of the Indian staff member, who looked as gentle as an angel from the Bible. Before the store manager could intervene, she whispered a few words to the Indian staff members and then dealt with a customer issue by fining them CAD 300 for spilling water on the car seat, subsequently canceling their future rental orders.

Great staff, great value and smooth process.

Took a little to get used to the app platform, but once I figured it out, it was excellent.

The staff was super helpful and helped us get to the vehicle, however, we had to meet them at a specific part of YYZ airport separate from the car rental section. They gave good directions, but the airports signage was poor and it took us some time to find it. We also rented a 7-seater minivan and were expecting to be taken in a shuttle van to the rental company's offices, but were picked up in the vehicle itself. Which would have been fine, except that we had 6 people with us and all of our luggage, strollers, and car seats and so someone had to wait behind while the Iversta employee drove us to the offices.

The van didn't quite meet my expectations, it was the lowest model of its kind and had some issues but it got us where we needed to be. We had an issue at pick up, i asked that the driver meet us at 7am but staff advised 715 or 730 would be better based on our airport arrival time and I said we would be there sooner as we didn't have bags to pick up. As it turned out, we had to wait 30 minutes for our ride with our 5 children in an area that had no seating. FRUSTRATING! Then they presented us with a rental agreement form that had all sorts of extra charges for out of province or out of country travel and the gas comes at whatever its returned with which is a first. The overall score of 8.7 does not truly reflect the experience.
