The pick up and drop off experience was very good. There was a slight hassle as had ordered an automatic but there was not one available so took one with gears. This was all handled very well and I was very comfortable with the solution. The staff were efficient and understanding

Arrived at the airport and the office was locked and empty even though it was within office hours. Tried to ring the help line but, as it was a Saturday, the lines were closed. Turned out that both of the guys in the office had gone to retrieve more vehicles but even a sign on the door to say ‘back in nn minutes’ would have been helpful as it delayed me by at least 30 minutes.
