Smooth refund process after car damage
At first, I was really stressed about how the damage refund process would go, but it turned out to be very simple and smooth. The website guided me clearly through each step, and everything was easy to upload and understand. Special thanks to Max, who was helpful and professional throughout. In the end, it was much less stressful than I expected. Would definitely recommend!

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.
