Excellent option for renting a car

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.

The car wasn't in the best presentation upon pick up (was not cleaned) however, that being said it was a nice car, delivered to expectations for a normal rental and smooth drop off. Pick up was a bit confusing, but overall pleased with the hire.

When returning the car, I had to find my own way to the airport from Iversta as they were closed, I paid additional cost of $18 for taxi, because the “free shuttle” wasn’t available at Iversta. I had a cell phone with me to call for a taxi, otherwise it would have been disaster.

Very good service.

The car was in poor condition. I was advised by the gentleman checking the car that the car was a 2018 model but upon inspection of the key tab and log book it was a 2016 model. The car was dirty on the outside and I was told that this is how it comes back from the car wash at the garage. The car had numerous bumps, dents, scratchers and the bonnet was partly bad where it looked like it was in a crash recently. I asked about this and I was told that there were too busy to get the bonnet fixed. Inside the car there was no GPS, the floor of the car had multiple car mats of different colors and models. The was no option to charge phones inside the car and seeing as we were travelling with 3 children this was a big inconvenience. The air conditioning was non existent in the back of the car. I told this to the gentleman who checked upon returning the car and he just looked at me as if to say "what do you want me to do about it". Altogether this was by far the worst rent a car that I have ever driven and I would not recommend this car to anybody.
