This was a great experience! Shirish was amazing at pick-up. Incredibly helpful and attentive. Shawna was great at drop-off and helped make sure we got our deposit back. Thanks for an easy rental!
A very clear warning that booking via Kayak on the American Website would reduce insurance rights as opposed to booking on apparently the same site in UK
I had to pay about 140 euros separately, because despite taking out additional insurance, I had to leave an extra guarantee of 2,000 euros. Bad information. I never rent through the website again and my recommendations towards your service will be very bad.
