New Zealand
Proton X50
10/15/23

Cons: Noisy windscreen wiper, but besides that car was great.

United Kingdom
Suzuki Celerio
4/20/23

Cons: The car was a piece of rubbish that did not even have central locking in a country full of crime I would of thought this would have been a given and this new car had window winders which was a surprise. The steering wheel had controls fitted that were not connected to anything on the car. It was the lowest spec vehicle I have ever rented and for what I paid would have expected a bit more of the basic items.

Ireland

Pros: Helpfulness of staff

Cons: nothing
