Easy to get to. They have almost new, small trucks for moving at excellent prices. Hand over is easy and when you return the car you get an automatic receipt by email. Good thing is: you get a receipt. Bad thing: if you return the car too late (say you reserved until 8pm and return the car at 10om) they know and could charge extra. I doubt they will.
