Great for the wrong reason perhaps
Great for the wrong reason perhaps. The car I reserved was not available to me as it was accidented during a prior rental and no suitable alternative was provided although they certainly tried. BUT....the way in which they handled my refund (in full) was excellent. No issues, no delay, no nonsense. Very professional.
