The pick-up and drop-off process is very convenient, all within the airport. The car provided was a new one with only 16,000 kilometers on it, and the condition was excellent.

They gave me an upgrade. I was nervous over the diesel charge per mile which they said they would wave. They seem to have done so. So all good
