Really great staff and service here. We booked our car last minute because another car company did not accept debit cards or Amex. This one accepts both. They offered a free upgrade of the car, the process was very smooth at the pick up and drop off. You need to take a short walk from the office to the car park but it takes 3-5 minutes and it’s fine. The prices are a bit on the higher side but the service seemed really good. No need to wash the car if it’s just dusty from your trip
