Good agent, competitive prices. I have done my own insurance, to cover car on holiday . Always get insurance. But can get cheaper. Good communication. Book car early . However have had cheaper later. But not always guaranteed.

Exceptional Service and Great Cars!
Exceptional Service and Great Cars! I recently rented a car from Astralis Rent Car, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The booking process was quick and easy, and their team was very responsive and helpful with all my questions. The car was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described—no surprises, just smooth driving. What really stood out was their professionalism and customer care. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, I highly recommend Astralis Rent Car for reliable service and excellent value. Will definitely rent from them again!
