“We booked a van for two days. We experienced a breakdown within the first two or three hours. Not only was the team wonderful in arranging for a new van, but they also granted us an extra day to complete our house relocation.

“Amazing customer service from the moment we inquired online to the time we returned the vehicle. Cross Country Rentals has been responsive and helpful every step of the way.”
