  • Navigating Downingtown can be challenging during rush hours, especially around Route 30 and Route 322. Traffic congestion is common, so plan accordingly.

Pros:

I rented a full size SUV. It specifically stated 7 passengers. When I went to pick up my rental it was a small suv that only had room for 5 at most.

Cons:

I rented through kayak. It was booked by hertz through priceline. I tried to sort out the vehicle size issue through both of them and neither would help me. Priceline blamed it on hertz and hertz blamed it on priceline.
