What I had not realised when booking was that when taking the insurance cover_ this was merely taking a partial payment towards a $6000 excess. I would never book through a booking agent again_ and would rather pay the insurance excess cover to the provider directly to actually bring down the excess to under $1000.
very friendly service_ really outstanding
Average: 9/10

Super fast shuttle at airport and convenient pick up drop off by hotel . Better car than expected_ great affordability. We always use this rental company
24-07-2026
It was peak hour traffic on Friday afternoon so getting g to the site was long through no fault of the company. I would probably try to get a car that can be picked up at the airport
18-07-2026
The customer service from pick up _ sign up_ return drop off was excellent_ seamless_ and accommodating. Highly recommended.
19-07-2026
Great to deal with they even sent back something that I had left in the car - High recommend!
19-07-2026
Everything was great_ and they were really helpful when I accidentally paid someone else_s tolls instead of my own
16-07-2026
Would prefer to be able to select zero excess without having to claim back from 3rd party insurer - this should also be made clear on the booking form.
