Booking and picking up the rental car was easy and convenient; it's within walking distance from the airport. The staff were helpful and hassle-free. If you purchase full car insurance, the deposit is minimal. Returning the car was quick and hassle-free with no complicated inspection. It was worth the booking price. I will definitely use their service again next time.
