I found part of it confusing_ when I filled in the online form it said there were no other costs and I had full insurance. When I received the car I was told I would have to pay 5000 rand if there was any damage. This was not what I expected but the agents sorted it and said economy car rental would reimburse me if was needed. This was not clear online.
very pleased_ even got free upgrade
Very good service_ thanks
