When trying to book before hours pick up or after hours drop off the system was a bit clumsy. did not allow after hours straight away. it would be beneficial if the car renter could receive the client's email straight away. then communication can be easier. car provider was excellent. thank you for the service.

The price was the best possible, but when i checked the website it said that the car would be in the terminal but it wasn´t. the rental office was a few hundred meters away (with shuttle bus if you want). otherwise it was excellent!
