Used to be a great app easy to use and the best rental car company. Now you can't see your current rental information besides what you rented, if they get that right, and the date and time you scheduled your pickup. You used to see the ACTUAL time of your pickup so you can prepare to return without extra charges. Now, I have to keep track of it and hope I don't get today's rental confused with yesterday's rental time. App used to be easy to use and navigate. Now it's achingly slow

Cancels Reservation When You Navigate to a Different App: When I went to my Delta app to get my flight number to enter into the reservation, it dropped the rental details and I had to start my reservation again - SO annoying! Also, app doesn't allow you to save debit cards for a payment method so I am probably going to have to go to the rental counter EVERY TIME I rent. I am trying to find a new rental car company to replace Hertz and this has not been a good initial experience. Pretty crappy.

App is good for making reservations but was unable to extend reservation when needed to. App stated I could not extend the rental and that I needed to call the number listed on the screen. When I used the convenient "one click" method to call the number provided it dialed a number that is no longer in service. App needs to be update with a new phone number. Had to go to website and find the correct number to call. Spent 22 minutes on the phone with customer service to extend rental 1 day.
