I flew into Deer Valley (KDVT) AZ today. Two days ago I called Cutter Aviation and arranged a rental through Enterprise. I usually get an economy car at $42.00 a day. My wife and I usually travel alone so that is usually good but our son and dog were with us today. I inquired about a mid size the Cutter staff says its another three bucks $45.00 for a midsize. I'll take it. The Cutter girl never asks for a Credit Card.

I arrive and as usual two Ramp attendants are there singling me into parking. There is a carpet already there when my wife exits the plane. As I exit the plane one of them says "How was your flight Captain." My wife and son already had a bottles of water offered them by the staff when he hands me a bottle. My wife is getting the dogs bowl out when one of them hand her another bottle for our dog.

While I pulled in and shut down one of them had pulled the rental car around. They help me unload the plane and load the car. I pull around to the front and hand the staff my license and Credit Card and I'm out of there in minutes.

I go here four or five times a year and this excellent service is the norm. I'll pay about 70 cents more for gas but getting 35 or so gallons is not a big deal especially since they waive one night ramp fee. No doubt I'll leave with three more bottles of water.

I once called with my normal car rental request and arrived as usual. When I arrive there was no car and they didn't know I was coming. When I checked my call log I had mistakenly called Cutter at Phoenix. Not a problem they had a rental on hand and I'm out of them in minutes.

My wife loves the service and I do too... At Cutter KDVT I'm treated better then I am just about anywhere aviation or non aviation. Sometimes paying a little for convenience and service is worth it. I remember as a kid seeing the servicemen at gas stations filling the
tank and cleaning the windshield.

I know that is a thing of the past but those of you old enough to remember the men in whites with a cap (not a baseball cap) but eight pointer it is a different time. It seems that not to many people are willing to pay for quality in product or service which is to bad in my book.

Times are tough and I try and get the best fuel prices I can but quality service is sure nice.

I stopped at Cutter on recent trip to Scottsdale area. DVT is farther by 9 miles to drive but has better fuel prices. My experience at Cutter was great. I emailed before I came and Mike and his team at Cutter arranged my rental car, met me at the plane with the car. Before we left I asked about parking near an electric outlet to plug in m oil pain heaters as it was going to be near freezing at departure time. They pulled it into their hangar and plugged it in at no extra charge. Above and beyond my expectations. I definitely recommend Cutter aviation and DVT if you are heading to Phoenix.

Our overnight stop at Cutter at KDVT on 11-18-2013 in our C-210 was delightful. Extremely helpful personnel everywhere! The ladies in the office (Brittany and Tara) were great. They arranged our rental car, which was brought to our A/C as we parked. Fuel was much less costly than KSDL and we received a 10-cent discount for using a Phillips credit card. Line crew (Wayne) was very helpful too. Helped us load our luggage (and wine from Costco) and returned our rental car for us. Great service all around. We'll be back!
