Very Good|Jan 2019

Car was in clean, in good condition, worked well, and got good gas mileage. The staff was excellent - very friendly and helpful, very easy to deal with, and not pushy with extra charges or insurance.

Dropping the car off could have been a little easier - there is no specific car rental return area like there are in many other major airports. So be sure to ask when ask the specifics of where to return the car BEFORE you leave the airport with the vehicle. Otherwise, everything else was great.

When you booked the car, you gave me an address in Fort Bonifacio to pick up the car. Arriving at the appointed time. The rental station was closed. The phone number provided didn't answer (and I was told by the doorman it was for Hertz, not Dollar. I tried to find another number on Google, on to see that there is no Dollar of record in Fort Bonifacio. I remembered you had another office in Makati. finding it in Google it said it was open - but that phone number also didn't work. So I just took a cab there. They were open, and I got a car. The experience initially was not good. The guy at the Makati branch was fine and helpful.

This is the 3rd time we rented a vehicle from National in the Philippines, and every time there are issues from not having the vehicle and trying to put us in a smaller vehicle, it's just hassle vehicles are.not at the airport , and as I said not a smooth traction.
