The booking process was smooth and easy. since rental car group is known for offering cars with all insurance coverages, i was surprised to see some of the companies featured this time, which do not offer all the insurance coverage. however, after a thorough search, found my choice. rnwill be good if the website can list / prioritize only the companies with al the insurance inclusions.
