I would put this review between 4 and 5 stars (really because of not being able to return at the Niu location). I erred on 5 because I think the value was good.We were staying int he Monarch and used the rental on Niu street. Price was great. We rented a "premium" Smart Car, which I had never driven before, but was fine. Not a lot of room int he "trunk" but we actually managed to get a folding wheelchair in there (though it was definitely a tight fit). Car was a little older but in good shape. Clean. Had AC (part of the reason we went with premium). Good gas mileage for cruising around the island (but I was not able to find anything that estimated miles left based on the gas in the tank; that would have bene helpful). The car ran pretty good, though not perfectly, but we had no issues.Important to know (and we did know up front), if you are renting form the Niu location, you cannot return the car there and you do not get parking in the hotel. So you either have to pay for parking (I think that was around $50/night) or park on the street. We parked on the street and had to be wary of the different parking hours. On the weekend, it was easy to find parking during the day but a little bit of a challenge at night, though I never had to park more than a 10-minute walk away. Drop off is about a 20-minute walk/$12 Uber ride away. But, if those things are manageable for you, definitely a more affordable car rental option.I was a little skeptical because of some of the other reviews and a somewhat older fleet, but the car was in pretty good shape and worked well for us. I'd rent from them again.
