Good service is what you look for during your car rental. Read more while viewing the unmodified opinions of our customers. The plus is that there are no extras this contrary to Herz who frightens you to sell an unneceesary additional insurance cover. Let the customer know that_ in the event that the office is noot open_ you can drop the key in the box. But for the rest very satisfied.
The car was very high mileage and in only moderate condition (as was a car we hired last year). However_ it served its purpose and I would use you in the future.
