Not the same car booked, but a different alternate. In the same range. Car was quite okay with our expectations but since an hybrid vehicles, was in need of bettery service / maintenance and that was the only message promoting on display periodically. Otherwise, all fine.

I booked a car, and after waiting for 3 hours at the pick up location (Edinburgh airport) I gave up and cancelled. There were 100 people waiting with two people on point (8 open desks!). Surely you knew what was going to happen??? What a shambles!

No, I didn’t get the car I chose. I had ordered Skoda Octavia but it seems the supplier doesn’t have any. Vehicle I received was smaller and was available for a lesser price when I made the bookings. I paid higher for the car I chose.

The car had exceeded my expectation as we are travelling in a group of 2 and we were given a huge car that does not consume too much fuel!

The platform did not offer an option to prepay the rental fee, resulting in no suitable automatic transmission wagon being available upon arrival at Belfast Airport. Four people plus four large suitcases had to squeeze into a small car, leading to a poor experience.
