Nos entrgaron un coche distinto al corsa, mejor. El unico fallo fue que nos ponia que estaba lleno de gasolina y no era asi. A la recogida nos querian cobrar 60 libras porque lo entregamos como lo recojimos, sin estar lleno. No fue asi, gracias a que habia hecho una foto antes de salir y una despues, a los kilometros y el deposito. Espero me devuelvan lo que deje de deposito. Aun estoy a la espera.

The counter staff were not honest. Despite purchasing insurance, they insisted that I purchase additional insurance. The car was already damaged which was not recorded by them and upon return I was asked to pay excess. The staff at drop-off was also not helpful. Will not recommend.
