I originally booked a Toyota, but they gave me a Polo, which seemed smaller. However, the car was in good condition. The service was quite good.

We booked a Honda Civic, but ended up with a Polo, which was a bit disappointing. Luckily, we only had three people. The driving experience was fine, and the car was in good condition. The basic insurance covered everything, so we didn’t need to buy any additional insurance.
