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.
