All went well
Everything went smoothly from start to finish. The car was clean, in great condition, and exactly as described. The pick-up and drop-off process was quick and easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I especially appreciated how clear and straightforward the rental terms were. If I had to mention one small thing, it would be that a bit more guidance at the pick-up point could help first-time users – but overall, a very good experience. Highly recommended!
