These vehicles have good ground clearance to avoid obstacles and maintain stability. Additionally, these vehicles have improved traction resulting from the even power distribution to all their wheels. This feature enhances their control, even on slippery roads. Besides, four-wheel drives offer off-road capabilities, implying that despite the season, they are reliable, and can provide you with exploration opportunities even in areas with poor road conditions within Kitchener.

Aug 2016
Pros:
They have fun cars. You don't see turbocharged cars too often at other agencies.Cons:
They just hand you the keys, no car walk around with the customer is done. On returning the car I walked into the office and very audibly said good afternoon directly to the face of the customer service gentleman who was busy typing he didnt return the greeting plus took close to a minute to acknowledge me. At other agencies I would have immediately recieved an acknowledgement. Customer service and manners are a big deal for me. The exterior and interior of the office are also badly in need of some sprucing up. The car was also pricey compared to other rental agencies in the area.2.0 Poor
