Efficient friendly service with great price 8 seater van.
The service was efficient and friendly. Emails were swiftly answered. Van (8 seater Previa) was old and had a few knocks (I don’t care) and aftermarket reverse cam was difficult to view at night. Price was very attractive though and staff informed me they will be replacing the older vans so look forward to booking with them next time.
