My car rental is not yet over so I can’t comment about the whole process yet but I was so impressed with how hard Wesley worked to help me through getting a car, then switching it out a week later because it was too big of a car for the narrow Edinburgh streets, and that I needed automatic, and wanted to add my young son as a driver. Wesley was pleasant through the experience and was working hard to make the rental right for me. It is true that I’m President Circle but even with that status, I don’t always get such helpfulness and friendliness from the counter agents like I did with Wesley so I wanted to recognize a job well done.

After reading all those reviews I was a bit frightened attending my rental, but I got my car pretty fast in 10 Minutes for the price I ve booked. After a week driving through the scottish north I came back and had no problems either 30 Minutes until car was checked. In forgot to fill up the tank but they let me drive to the next station to fill by myself again. Would book again and recommend. Read more

An sich waren die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich, es ist allerdings nicht zu empfehlen vor seiner Abholzeit zu erscheinen, da man tatsächlich bis auf die Minute warten muss (in unserem Fall). Der Mitarbeiter welcher uns das Auto übergab war aber sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Er bemühte sich außerdem sehr einen geeigneten Sitz für unseren Sohn zu finden und gab auch nicht auf, bevor wir einen sicher im Auto anbringen konnten, wofür wir sehr dankbar waren! Die Rückgabe war unkompliziert und schnell. Auch die Kostenaufstellung war klar dargelegt und enthielt keinerlei Überraschungen für uns. Vielen Dank! Read more
