I love Klaswagen
I love Klaswagen, so booked a car to pick up on 29th of April from Timisoara, however, I missed the point that I booked via Wizzair. Unfortunately due to an objective reason I had to cancel my flight and to rebook for another destination. Although the booking was via Wizzair, however, I have got an amazing service in Sibiu, they kindly without any extra charge, they transferred my booking to Klaswagen Sibiu. A lovely lady called Magdalena who kindly helped in a very short time, and then I got another medical emergency which obliged me to return back to London before my planned date, again another Klaswagen employee Timothy was amazing, he facilitate my logistics and I have been able without hassle to get back however, receiving a voucher for my remaining days. They. Are just amazing.
