Great host, very clear communication from pick-up to drop-off. The car was clean, tidy, smooth drive, comfortable (both on motorway and country lane roads), our trip was London-Somerset, and only used up just about 3/4 of a tank, economical. I would be happy to rent the car again, or any other ones, from the same host.
