The Pyrenees are beautiful, we drove to Arizkan and sent a week in a small basque village for Christmas with amazing views and great Christmas traditions.

We used the car to travel around the San Sebastian area. Sometimes we would do city drives, and other times, mountain drives with our family and luggage in tow. It was very useful for carrying our swimming gear and all the shopping for our mountain residence! It was a wonderful way to experience the beautiful scenery in the area. We also really enjoyed using the carplay function for coordinating our plans with our other family members on the go!

Great service
Easy to pick up and drop off. Car was in good shape. No issues at all! I appreciated that when picking up the car, the rep made sure I knew how to adjust the seat, turn on lights, etc. Really great service in both Rijeka and Pula. It was a little tricky to find where to go when dropping off the car in Pula, since we had picked up in another city.
