It’s less than a 10-minute drive from the airport. Friendly service, pick-up right downstairs, car in great condition, and easy drop-off.

The rental office was not far from the airport, so I walked there. On Christmas Day, they were closed. When I arrived, I called the office but no one answered and the door was closed. After a while, a staff member on duty appeared, giving me a scare for a moment.

Overall quite satisfied. The car pick-up and drop-off process was convenient, the vehicle was clean, performed well, and was 80% new. I would give it a ten, but there was a minor issue with an extra charge for insurance, which was directly deducted from the credit card. However, this was mostly resolved after coordinating with the website and the car rental company.
