Attentive, friendly, and efficient! Attentive because, when called a few days before the booking, they provided the clarifications I needed. Friendly both over the phone and in person! And efficient because they were quick and precise with the requests made and the rental process. Well done.

I rented a car for several days at a great price!!! I had read many negative reviews and was a bit skeptical, but I changed my mind because I found a friendly young woman at the reception and a very kind young man, always smiling, at the car handover... highly recommended.

Very kind and helpful staff. I booked a Panda through their website. At the airport desk, they gave us a free upgrade, providing an automatic Opel Astra station wagon. If I may give a suggestion, avoid booking through brokerage sites and book directly with them.
