I realise you want your rental vehicles to feel fresh and clean_ but I do find the air fresheners/fragrance a bit much! They make me feel slightly sick and the smell persists for too long. I would prefer if this kind of thing is offered as an option rather than us having no choice.
A great service_ very professional. Outstanding service_ will definitely recommend them

Sorry I booked thru a 3rd party. I’d definitely book direct next time with the service provider next time mainly because of the insurance implications.
