Reviews From Our Customers

Can't rave enough about them! My mom decided to come in last minute for Christmas and car rental prices were astronomical. I found Marathon and the price was fantastic. I decided to call just to make sure they were open Christmas day for us to pick up the car. They weren't open, but offered to come in so we could get the car.
