Good value car rental
Good value car rental was cheaper than other options Helpful staff at pick up and drop off, good value for money, good vehicle Took almost an hour at pick up as had to wait for one way drop off to be approved even though I had booked this months in advance. However the agent looking after me was very nice and helpful and apologetic
