Excellent car, clean, everything in order, Miclay helped me with all my questions, next time I hope to rent a car with him again.
Used the car to drive down to Preston and back, the car drives very smooth and faultless, also the best view when driving at night with the ambient lights on, musa was very professional and calm, I recommend renting from this company as you will get your moneys worth 👍🏽
Amazing, it was very nostalgic since my first car was a Citroën C3. Driving it felt like going back in time. Excellent handling… super smooth and light.
