After booking for a 12am pickup my reservation was changed to 12pm. When i contacted Apex they told me that i can only book aa after hours pick up directly through them. Had no choice but to cancel my original booking and rebook only to find that the price directly through Apex was $400 more than my original booking. Need to specify these things prior to booking through 3rd parties. Not happy and will not use again
On arrival it would have been nice to be greeted. After paying the key gets handed to you and nothing else. No one explained the car to me or process of recording photos of the car. I just sat in a car I've never driven before confused. How do I start it,where's the hand brake etc as I'm not used to a button start. Very overwhelmed expediting out into chaotic traffic on the freeway. The car was good,drop off friendly but pick up was less than great customer service.
