The car was in excellent condition and super clean and well presented. Vivek was amiable, friendly and responsive. I needed to change the pick up time and then during the journey, the drop off time, and it wasn't any problem to get a response. Highly recommend the car and the courteous service!

David was superb, both pick up and drop was swift, car was in great condition, drivability was smooth, and good mileage. I'd definitely rent back.
Great car, really nice to drive on the motorway. Clean and full of little bits to make the journey easier- like screens and cameras. Host was also super accommodating when we needed to change the time slightly. Would recommend ( and will also rent again!)
Car was in perfect condition, no problems at all with the rental and would use again. Be aware that you will probably need to factor in the price of a car wash which is £5 nearby.
The car was good I liked the condition except for few things that’s towards the end of the journey which was clarified by the owner also pickup and drop was feasible Syed was so flexible and chilled. Loved the trip
