Cross Border

Conditional:

Depending on which countries to bring the rental cars to, policies differ:
Mexico, Canada

A vehicle can be driven across the Canadian border at any time, no matter what location it was rented from. It is recommended to have PERS coverage when using vehicle in cross border rentals for the US and Canada. The renter must have a valid driver's license and rental record to cross the border into Canada. Canadian law does require that everyone entering the country have a passport, so everyone in the vehicle must have the proper identification. If a renter (including a Canadian resident) is driving a U.S. rented (and licensed in the U.S.) vehicle to Canada, it can only be driven across the border for up to 30 days unless an extension is requested from Customs at the time of entry.

Like: The rental agents were all friendly, helpful, and the price for our rental was excellent.
Dislike: The car was just ok. I had never driven a Nissan Sentra and was disappointed with the performance. I picked the car, so that is on me. The interior of the car was not very clean.

Like: Costs, promptness
Dislike: All of the rental cars in the fleet (Intermediate) were pretty badly scratched up and dinged but there was no inspection of the car before we left. We had to point that out to the security person at the gate before we went the lot, to make sure that we wouldn't be blamed later.

I personally use this car rental company both in Germany and the USA. The service quality is top-notch, with no additional sales or imposed services. The car return and inspection process is fast and efficient. The cars are new and in good condition, with full fuel tanks.
