What to see in the USA with your rental car

The USA is a huge country where the car is king. The classic American road trip which involves travellers driving from one side of the country to the other is considered the pinnacle of driving holidays by many. A shorter journey undertaken by travellers to America is that of the old Route 66, which stretched from Chicago to Los Angeles. It's a journey of some 2,000 miles and takes in a number of famous cities, including Albuquerque, Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Sights on the way include the Grand Canyon in Arizona and the Willis Tower (Sears Tower) in Chicago.

I want to personally thank one of the agent that helped me when I was this close to walking out and going to next door to get a car instead. Valencia Pittman, is the person at the desk who is very professional, understanding and helped me walk to car and let me look at it. I rent vehicle every week for work throughout the world. She made sure I was happy and satisfied. The management however needs to be improved. The manager there at that time wasn’t being very helpful and just rude. Im glad she was there or else I was going to take my business somewhere else I don’t take my time to leave feedbacks by the way. She deserves a promotion and a new title.

When it comes to top amazing customer service for car rental, I must say my expectations have been exceed. I made a reservation at 10 am but unfortunately could not come to pick up my rental until a bit after 6 due to my work schedule. The Sixt branch closed at 6 pm but Kay was kind enough to still take me on. It was fast easy, and all of my options were nicely explained to me. Because the vechicle I rented in the mornign was being washed and cleaned at the present time, Kay upgraded me for free to a premium vehicle. I even overheard a customer who was have issues comment how amazing the customer support at this branch location is. Truly I must say I agree!
