Like: It was great to be picked up from the hotel when we arrived and also taken to the airport at the end of our holiday. This took away a lot of stress away from us trying to find the airport. Staff were also friendly.
Dislike: I had trouble finding discount car entails on google. I was suspicious at first glance as I could find it and thought maybe it was a scam. It we did a google map search and saw the shopfront, so was set at ease.

The picture of a late model Camry is not what we were offered when we arrived. The car was 2006. This is blatant false advertising. The matter was resolved after I complained with a 2016 Ssangyong. A shame it had to happen at all.

everything was awesome from car condition, cleanliness and spacing. the customer service were superb. two things i can say about the van is (1) when you’re driving uphill it struggle a little bit to keep up with the rest of the car on the road. my second concern, i was told that the release of the bond will take 2 weeks to get back on my credit card account. what if i needed the money now? the release should not take that long as it may lead to inconvenience to some people like me.

Picking up the car just required filling out a form, and dropping it off was super quick—they just took a quick look and said everything was fine. Very efficient! The only downside was that the shuttle was a bit hard to find, but other than that, no complaints. The car was really fuel-efficient.
