Andy is an amazing host – very kind and thoughtful. He even dropped me back to my hotel after returning the car, which made everything so easy. The car itself was fantastic: comfortable, smooth, and perfect for the Highland roads. Highly recommend Andy if you’re looking for a great rental experience.
