Ratings and reviews

I stopped being a member 3ish years ago and decided to re-up today. I've had my account approved and I booked a car for a couple of days from now and installed the app - which doesn't seem to work at all. All I get is the Go to drive screen, and anything I click takes me back to that screen! I hope my old card will still work, because this app doesn't seem to! update 1: Force closed app and tried again a few minutes/hours later doesn't resolve the other. update 2: rebooting the phone worked.

I took a whole year's membership and when I was 11 minutes late they charged me a 50$ fine and said that there was no circumstance in which the fee could be reversed. I had called and requested them to give some grace period due to it being a first offense of only a few minutes and how much I enjoyed the service until then. Further they did not allow me to extend my time by 30 mins for 12$ claiming someone else had already booked it but when I reached the drop off there was no one waiting. 50>12

The app has a few issues. 1. I have to close the app and reopen it to connect (lock/unlock the car). When I arrive at the car it takes multiple times of closing and opening to get through the process. As for the company, it is frustrating that 90% of the time I pick up dirty cars. I have to pay to wash them, then vacuum takes time away from driving. I always return the cars as clean as possible. It doesn't seem the rules are being enforced.
