Really great, courteous and friendly. Good quality car, no pushy up-selling, and good features like full-to-full fuel, and unlimited mileage. Only 5 mins from the airport and the shuttle is easy. Would definitely use again.

There was staff at the airport to hand over the car, and the process was quick and simple. Most importantly, the car was in great condition and the price was reasonable. Plus, diesel cars save a lot of money!
