Very good
Service was good, but the security deposit is refunded two weeks after the return, not a credit card pre-authorization, it's a direct charge which is a bit annoying. Also, the invoice is not provided on the spot and has to be sent later by email. I haven't received it yet...

Great price but so-so rental experience from local hire company.
Car booked was not available at the time of hire so had to settle for a lower grade car until it could be replaced a week into the hire. Both cars were older than I would usually expect but serviceable.

A company well worth considering for your rental needs.
Like: I rented a people carrier for 6 passengers on this occasion. I got good service, a clean car and great value for money.
Dislike: Side sliding door did not work so we had to enter/exit using the opposite door during the rental period.
