The staff were great actually. I had to make two different reservations with the first being for 2 days before the second reservation. They were able to combine the two so I didn't have to come back after the first reservation. Everything went smooth and that is how I like it.

Highly recommended company! Not only are the prices low, but the service is excellent! Firstly, a shuttle arrived within 5 minutes after we landed. The only downside was that it was after office hours, and no one picked up the customer service call, so I thought the shuttle might not come. When we arrived at the pickup location, the car was a pleasant surprise—very new and clean. The customer service was good, and they didn't push the insurance. I took detailed photos and videos, and the staff didn't mind. The biggest surprise was when I returned the car. I had scratched it against a wall, but the employee told me it was okay and said, 'It's okay!' Although I had full insurance, it would still be a hassle to claim, but this saved me from all the trouble. They also drove us back to the airport. The staff were super nice!
