    Of all the rental places fox is by far the least user friendly. There are no counters to return car at San Jose airport. You return it to the parking garage and they walk up to you. Good thing is cars are usually upgraded but the cars I have had are pretty beat up and they do a poor job of cleaning them.

    Overall service is mediocre. They change vehicles without notifying customers, the internal seats are quite dirty, and the cars are relatively old. The return process is very casual without a thorough inspection. To avoid disputes, I took photos and videos when picking up and returning the car.
