Alastair was fantastic and we will be using again and again!!! 5 star service
Nice little car, perfect for a couple of days trip. We picked it up clean and Ailya sent us all the instructions we needed. Thanks so much!
The absolute best car we could have had! First of all, Alastair was super available, flexible and easy to get a hold of, making our journey very smooth. We received the car in pristine condition, with 2 bottles of water, a gentle gesture we appreciated. It was super easy to drive and to park anywhere, due to its compact frame, not compromising its inner space. We were traveling in 2 adults with 2 big suitcases and it was comfortable all along. The cherry on the cake, it had good mileage making it very economical to use. We totally recommend this car! Thank you very much, Alastair!
Great trip in the Highlands with the Mercedes. It's the perfect car for a trip in Scotland. The host was very nice and answer all questions so I can pickup and bring back the car at the right place.
