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.

The actual car received was an A180, which the staff insisted was of the same class. Quite unbelievable! Fortunately, we didn't have much luggage, so we could barely fit everything. Due to time constraints, we had to make do and hit the road.
