Easy site and good service!
The site is very easy and clear. During the rental, we had no issues with the car, everything was perfect. After we got home again, there was a small issue with payment from the local rental office, sonI thought. I reached out to RentalCars customer service and got good help from Vergil, he was very patient and understanding. I have full confidence they will help solve any issues in the future.
