Needed a car to take me up to the midlands for a birthday party and glad I chose this one. The Pickup was very easy! I met the owner and they showed me the basic functions. I hadn’t used this type of automatic shift but quickly got the hand of it! It drives very smooth, the cars clean and the owners are very kind and helpful with any questions. They even gave me snacks for the road The car very fuel efficient! The full tank lasted me a round trip to Blackburn/liverpool & back to London (around 450 miles). I’d recommend & will definitely be using it again for future long haul trips
The best host I've ever had, the car is spectacular, it's new and extremely comfortable, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to travel well.
Amazing trip. The car drove beautifully and was so awesome that it was delivered and picked up, will definitely be using this car again in a few months when I come back. Everything worked as expected and Valerie was very responsive whenever I had questions. 10/10.
Everything was ok. Good comunication with Vivian. I was a little concerned regarding the car as I had to take my son to Plymouth but the car did the work without spending much in petrol.
